What not to wear
Among the glitz and glam, these are the things to avoid
It is time to come out to play for a day at the races and for some, that means playing hard, short and very fast. For others (fortunately) the choice is to take a more classic, tailored and stylish approach.
With trackside fashion on some people’s minds and the race to get invited to the best marquee well and truly started it got me thinking about some racing fashion fails and triumphs.
From décolletage alerts to flashing too much flesh, ridiculous hats and tans, you have been warned. Next week, trackside will be full of them, so hold onto your hat, we could be in for a bumpy but fun ride.
Lots of gorgeous young, middle-aged and older women think a day at the races is a chance to let their hair extensions takeover and take their puppies out for a run. Take Paris Hilton.
Sometimes, you can tell there is a wardrobe malfunction ready to happen, as Hilton nearly experienced when she wore this LOW-cut, revealing dress/skirt (above) in 2003.
Like she used to always do, Paris captured all the race day headlines with her barely-there look.
When Brynne Edelsten premiered trackside, she certainly bought “sensation” back to the races, but whether some of her choices met the “dress chic” criteria is a sticking point for the style set.
Two years ago, the Victoria Racing Club (VRC) initiated a no-midriff policy, one they continue to this day. According to their rule book, the VRC has the right to “refuse entry to any person considered inappropriately attired”. Whether that advice is adhered to, we’ll soon see.
