The Victoria Racing Club's Fashions on the Field returned to Flemington Racecourse on Tuesday for the Lexus Melbourne Cup Day, as racegoers turned out in bold colour despite cold, wet weather.
This year's competition carries a prize pool worth more than $320,000, according to the VRC, which describes it as Australia's richest fashion competition.
Point Of Law won the 2026 Melbourne Cup earlier in the day, ridden by jockey Ethan Brown and trained by Ciaron Maher.
Television personality Bec Judd is a part-owner of the winning horse.
The competition's four flagship categories are Best Dressed, Best Suited, the Emerging Designer Award and the Lillian Frank AM MBE Millinery Award.
The Emerging Designer Award, presented in partnership with Vogue Australia, marked its 21st anniversary this year.
Entrants had four chances to enter Best Dressed and Best Suited across the carnival, starting on TAB Turnbull Stakes Day on Saturday 3 October and continuing through Melbourne Cup Day.
Jules Neale wore a head-to-toe red outfit from fashion label By Johnny, with matching opera gloves and a headband.
Judd wore a striped strapless dress with red heels and an oversized bow in her hair. Her husband, former AFL player Chris Judd, wore a navy pinstripe suit with a green tie.
Pip Edwards wore a turquoise ensemble by designer label J'Aton Couture, paired with Valentino heels.
Jamie Foxx attended in a black and gold suit with dark sunglasses. Mia Fevola was also among the identities at the event.
The Best Dressed and Best Suited Grand Final was held on Crown Oaks Day, Thursday 5 November.
