Flemington Racecourse shimmered under the spring sunshine as Derby Day 2025 turned into a dazzling showcase of fashion, flair, and sophistication. This year, the style stakes were higher than ever — and racegoers did not disappoint. From celebrities and influencers to seasoned punters, everyone brought their A-game, transforming the trackside lawns into a catwalk of monochrome elegance and bold modern twists.

Black and white once again dominated the colour palette, but the interpretation was anything but traditional. Sleek tailoring met daring cut-outs, oversized hats gave way to sculptural fascinators, and minimalist silhouettes sparkled with statement accessories. The men, too, were on form — swapping predictable suits for textured fabrics, bold ties, and flashes of personality in pocket squares and footwear.

Among the famous faces spotted trackside were international models, sporting legends, and local style icons, each turning heads as they mingled over champagne and canapés. The atmosphere was electric — a perfect blend of glamour, excitement, and anticipation as the races unfolded.

Derby Day has always been the crown jewel of the Spring Racing Carnival, and this year proved once again that it’s as much about fashion as it is about horses. With the sun shining, the music playing, and style reigning supreme, Flemington became the ultimate runway for Australia’s most fashionable crowd.

One thing’s for sure — the bar for race-day glamour has never been set higher.
