Derby Day kicked off in Melbourne with top Australian names in striking black and white outfits. The looks featured fine tailoring and lace.
Nadia Bartel wore a J'Aton Couture white lace bodice with a ruched skirt. She paired it with sheer gloves and an oversized hat.
Her corset was so tight her partner had to fasten her shoes. Pip Edwards paired a voluminous Mariam Seddiq ruffle gown with an equestrian helmet and Jimmy Choo boots.
