Melbourne Cup Dresses

The Melbourne Cup Dresses edit is made for the day that stops the nation - a celebration of fashion, sunshine, and champagne. It’s when bold colour meets sharp tailoring, and getting dressed up is half the fun. Whether you’re trackside at Flemington, at a long lunch with the girls, or toasting at a rooftop or an afterparty, this collection captures the energy of Cup Day - confidence, girlhood, and unforgettable style. Showpo’s got a range of dresses ready for you to choose from!

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.

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 that pops and some statement jewellery - because Cup Day is all in the details.

And since race season doesn’t stop there, our Occasion Dresses and Cocktail Dresses will see you through Derby Day, Oaks, and every celebration after. So go all out - plan the look, back your favourite, and let your outfit take home first place.
