Oaks Day Served Up the Prettiest Racing Dresses of the Season

Today marks the Kennedy Oaks Day, traditionally known as Ladies Day on the spring racing schedule. Since our attention is drawn to everything off the track, we’re here to give you the latest update on the celebrity and influencer highlights, picking out our favourite looks.

Derby day provided us with monochrome inspiration, and Melbourne Cup saw a very traditional approach to spring racing with brights, lace, and even the return of the princess style tulle dress worn by Jennifer Hawkins. Today we’re seeing casual but oh-so-pretty outfits on the green, with Rachael Finch leading the way.

Keep scrolling to check out the best looks and stay tuned for more looks this weekend for Emirates Stakes Day.
