Derby Day is the first day of the Melbourne Cup Carnival.

The Melbourne Cup is the centerpiece of the Flemington carnival and it has always been a race that has held a nation back.

It follows the tradition of the English racing circuit Royal Ascot, where top hats and tails and black and white attire are required.

Like any spring racing event, there was no shortage of eye-catching fashion on the field during the event.
