Hold onto your hats, fashion lovers, because the Lexus Melbourne Cup 2025 has officially arrived, and the outfits are already causing a stir! From jaw-dropping gowns to daring designs, the stars have certainly brought their A-game to Flemington Racecourse. Let's dive into some of the most talked-about looks, shall we?
First up, we have the stunning 19-year-old Aussie-Balinese model, Stella Klim, who made a bold statement in a custom Atoir gown. The dress, in a classic Cup Day color, featured a daring back cut-out, adorned with eye-catching pins, and a bust-baring neckline. Her fans were clearly impressed, with comments like "Oh my God" and descriptions like "unreal" and "breathtaking" flooding social media.
Next, we have Brooke Warne, who opted for an on-trend lemon Forever New halterneck dress paired with red accessories. She was there with her brother Shane Warne. Fans praised her spring-look, labelling it ‘stunning’. She completed her outfit with a horseshoe pin, encouraging race goers to take part in the ‘great cause’.
Hannah Dal Sasso turned heads in a revealing midi-dress featuring slashes all through the skirt. The model posed in the wild design by Tulle Addict midi-dress. The former girlfriend of Aussie tennis champ, Thanasi Kokkinakis, paired the adventurous strapless number with a silver clutch and a pill box hat from milliner Angela Cordingley. Meanwhile her ex posed alone on the VRC media wall in a burgundy suit. Social media has gone nuts after she shared a video dancing to a song titled, ‘Where’s my husband’, speculating it is a subtle reference to her ex. The ex-tennis WAG, 28, posed for a series of sultry Cup Day snaps.
AFL star Ivan Soldo and his influencer girlfriend, Chelsea Becirevic, went matchy matchy with the Port Adelaide player rocking a red tie that goes perfectly with her red dress. Becirevic, dubbed ‘Australia’s hottest WAG’, went for an off-the-shoulder number with a very risky thigh-split at the front.
Samantha Armytage, host of new reality show The Golden Bachelor, also went for a red ensemble – the classic Cup Day hue. Bear Myrden, the star of Armytage’s new show, was also at the ‘race that stops the nation’.
Allison Langdon, host of A Current Affair, appeared to be channelling her inner cow girl. The 46-year-old wore a blue mini-dress with a fringe detailing paired with a black rodeo hat.
Kate Waterhouse, a racing royalty, opted for a custom Alin Le’ Kal gown paired with a Ezara J headpiece. The gown featured a plunging neckline.
Jules Robinson, a social medial personality, went for a bright lolly-wrapper inspired strapless dress paired with silver footwear and accessories.
Rozalia Russian, a Melbourne influencer, posed inside the LANDMARK by Lexus marquee inside the prestigious Birdcage in a custom Steven Kahlil design. The 37-year-old was at the event, held by the Victorian Race Club (VRC), with her hospitality entrepreneur husband, Nick Russian.
Evelyn Ellis, former MAFS star turned influencer, has gone for a turquoise peplum dress, a custom number from LA-designer “based in Sydney”, Ryan Patros. She teamed the figure-hugging outfit with a matching headpiece from Embellish Atelier.
Moraya Wilson, an Australian model, has jetted in from her home in NYC for the prestigious annual event in Victoria. The former Miss Universe Australia, who won the title in 2023, wore a pale blue dress that was almost sheer, featuring a backless panel and a striking cape.
Nadia Bartel opted for an ice blue Lillian Khallouf mini-dress in 2024 that was criticised by some for being ‘too short’. It featured a ‘balloon’ skirt and a cheeky neckline.
