She completed her look with a matching headpiece, white pumps and a silver clutch.

While Derby Day may be the strictest of all dress codes, it is far from the only themed event during the spring racing carnival.
The Melbourne Cup is all about bright colors and patterns, while Oaks Day, also known as Ladies’ Day, encourages women to wear ‘all things feminine’.
The last day of the week, Stakes Day, is much more relaxed, and while there are some rules in place, this is nothing compared to the kick-off event of the season.
The Melbourne Cup, the race that holds a nation back, has developed a reputation as one of the trendiest of the year.
