These Celebrity Looks Are the Real MVPs at Derby Race Day

When our favourite Australian girls take the field for spring races, we pay attention. With the likes of Nadia Bartel, Jennifer Hawkins and Jodi Anasta gracing the field today for the legendary Derby Day, their looks surely did not disappoint. Derby Day is known for its timeless and classical theme of black and white dressing. Today, we’re loving the fresh and modern take on monochrome dressing as well as the more traditional approach to accessories with wide brims and creative use of silk ribbons. The perfect balance for a win in our opinion.

Want to know what works time and time again? Following racing etiquette, and understanding the spring racing trends. With spring racing in the air, there's no better excuse to dress up to mark one of the most memorable days in the social calendar.
