Sweltering summer temperature didn’t appear to keep happy punters away from Sydney’s Rosehill racecourse on Saturday – but a few savvy men and women in the crowd did alter their outfits for the searing heat.
Two young women were spotted carrying dainty blue and bamboo parasols on the day to protect themselves from the sun.
They were also wearing dainty head and neck scarves, oversized sunglasses and matching off-the shoulder tangerine frocks – which reflected the summer vibe.
