Spring racing season has well and truly kicked off with Australia’s A-list braving the stormy Sydney weather on Saturday to step out in their finest for Moët & Chandon Spring Champion Stakes Day.
Celebrities such as Jesinta Franklin, Erin Holland and Anna Heinrich proved you don’t have to be in Melbourne to enjoy day trackside, with Jesinta wearing a white Toni Maticevski one-shouldered pantsuit and accessorising her light pink hair with a black, flower headband.
Anna Heinrich also opted for a one-shouldered pantsuit – this time, in black, and Eleanor Pendleton, wore a panelled Zimmermann dress and matching hat.
Below, the best dressed from the day.
