10 of the best-dressed mamas at Melbourne Cup Carnival

Well that’s a wrap on “the race that stops the nation” for another year. And mamas, were there some mighty fine race looks trackside this week at all the important race meetings that make up Melbourne Cup Carnival, which runs from November 3 to 10.

From the monochrome beauties at Derby Day to the bright and colourful at the main event, if you’re looking for some summer outfit inspiration (or some ideas on what to wear to the silly season soirees ahead), scroll on down. These mamas are smoking HOT!
