Traditionally known as ‘Ladies Day’ amongst racegoers, Crown Oaks Day is the biggest style event of the Melbourne Cup Carnival. It’s famously known as the day women take the opportunity to express their ‘signature style’.
Check it out. Here is what everyone’s wearing at Crown Oaks Day, plus some more style highlights from Melbourne Cup Carnival. We’ll be updating the gallery as we find more awesome outfits through the day, so please keep checking back in:

Now whether your ‘signature style’ is tracky-dacks and your husband’s t-shirt or bootleg jeans and a blouse (complete with lactation stains) or simply, stick-with-all-black-and-you-can’t-go-wrong – surely, we can all admire a gorgeous frock when we see one? Especially when it comes with a matching headpiece.

    Rebecca Judd looks sensational, all over very stylish & Jen Hawkins is just beautifully pretty

    Vogue McFadden looks like an 70s or 80s air stewardess to me, just missing a little white shoulder bag

    Kim Cattrall was really disappointing, I thought she’d be all out glammy but she looks a bit frumpy :(

    I also love that Zoe wore a “girl” outfit to ladies’ day – definitely a more fashion-forward dress that would be understood by the gals more than the guys!

    There’s a lot of plum and berry lips around the place! I always thought of dark berry lips as a winter thing but they look fabulous against bright summery colours.

    Nice article and album. I personally feel the fashions on the field ladies are such better examples of race fashion than even the most made up celebrities. More real race goers please!
    Also, Hawko and Twigs look like they’re morphing into one super mould of a human being at the hands of someone else….

    It’s so funny that Vogue is a celebrity now, simply because she married someone (who’s really only here because he used to be engaged to Delta). That’s how Kris got famous too – from being with Dani. Looks like we’ll take anyone as a celeb, so long as they’re good looking!

    Gah. Is it just me, or does Mena Suvari look like an 80′s Russian tv host?

    they all look so gorgeous – but I wonder if they have a drink at all and what they look like by the end of the day? I know that even after 3 champagnes my lippy starts to smudge. And if they don’t let their hair down what’s the point of going anyway?

      The Emirates and Lion Nathan marquees have a designated area for touchups with hair and makeup professionals on hand to touch up makeup and fix hairstyles. It makes it quite easy to keep looking good all day.

      Its so much fun!
