How to dress for Melbourne Cup? What is the dress code for Melbourne Cup?

Melbourne Cup and Spring Racing style is all about polished, playful and photo-ready looks that still feel like you. Cup Day is your moment to go bright, chic and a little extra. For the girl who loves a flirty moment, our minis bring playful energy to the track. Leg-baring cuts, fun prints, and that perfect match for your favourite fascinator. If you’re after something classic and refined, our midis are your sweet spot; structured, effortless, and perfect for the members’ lawn. And for the moments you’re ready to turn heads, maxis deliver that show-stopping moment, elegant lines, flowy fabrics, and silhouettes made for photos. Better yet, our palette is pure Aussie spring, in hues of orange, yellow, lilac purple, and green, all perfectly bringing you a glow under the sun. Go for ruched or pleated if you want that bit of texture, or maybe a soft satin that catches just enough shine. Every dress moves the way you do, from cheering on your pick to kicking off your heels and dancing once the races are done.

How to style my Melbourne Cup dress?

Styling your Melbourne Cup look is where the fun really starts. Accessories pull the whole Cup Day outfit together and make it feel personal. All you need now are shoes that can keep up with the day, chic, comfy, and ready for whatever the Cup throws at you. Go for a pair of heels in the form of strappy stilettos or something barely there if you’re dressing to turn heads. Or keep it cool and practical with block heels that give you just enough height for the lawn (and the dance floor later). Finish it off with a clutch bag that pops and some statement jewellery, because Cup Day is all in the details.
