Look at all the pretty horses… And people. We traipsed our way around Sydney to find the best dressed at this year's Melbourne Cup festivities. There was many a cat ear fascinator, with a couple of rabbit ears thrown in for good measure, well-tailored suits, pretty dresses, sunglasses indoors and, of course, the omnipresent fedora. All in all, Sydney, you looked good. But, then, we didn't expect anything less.
Here are our picks for the best dressed at this year's Melbourne Cup events in Sydney.
10 points for the bright colours and amazing head pieces!

Cruise chic / attractive bartender vibes. We're okay with this.

So much prettiness we don't know where to look first.

We're obsessed with this explosion of yellow. Shout outs to having an actual flower in your lapel.

Keeping the dress simple and letting the hat do all the talking. Nice move.

Monochomatic amazingness happening right here.

These rabbit ears are way too cute and have no Playboy bunny-ness about them whatsoever.
