Derby Day is the first day of the Melbourne Cup Carnival.

The Melbourne Cup is the centrepiece of the Flemington carnival and it has always been a race that has stopped a nation.

It follows the tradition of English racetrack Royal Ascot, where top hats and tails, and black and white attire are required.

Like every spring racing event there was no shortage of eye-catching fashions on the field at the event.
