Emma McKeon RUINS her $10,000 Dior gown at Derby Day as she reveals surprising future plans with boyfriend Cody Simpson

Australian swimming champion Emma McKeon got more than she bargained for Saturday while wrestling a bottle of champagne on Derby Day in Melbourne.

The 30-year-old Olympian attended the 2024 Melbourne Cup Carnival kick-off at Flemington Racecourse as an official ambassador for champagne brand GH Mumm.

Emma certainly dressed to impress, wearing a stunning $10,000 Christian Dior dress for the glamorous occasion.

The off-the-shoulder black dress perfectly emphasized her slim figure and showed off her shapely arms.

She styled her auburn locks with a matching black fascinator, allowing her long hair to flow effortlessly down her back.

Standing on the podium in front of photographers and a crowd of revelers on race day, Emma seemed excited as she prepared to open a magnum bottle of the luxurious champagne.

However, it seems that Emma was in for an unexpected surprise after popping the cork on the big bottle.

A steady stream of champagne erupted from the bottle like a geyser, sending the fizzy drink high into the air.

Unfortunately, Emma and her $10,000 racing gear fell victim to the errant liquid, which rained on her and soaked her designer dress.

However, she took it all in stride and beamed as she took her Derby Day soaking wet.

Emma threw caution to the wind and literally doused herself in champagne in scenes that delighted the gathered crowd.

Emma, ​​who is dating Cody Simpson, told Ny Breaking Australia the couple enjoyed some much-needed rest and relaxation after her win in Paris.

“It’s quite relaxed now,” Emma said.

“We just got back from three weeks of vacation, which really gave me a chance to step back and really switch off.”

She added that the downtime for both her and Cody will be short-lived as their schedules will resume soon.

“There won’t be any more vacations planned for a while, I don’t think,” she said.

After her stunning turn in Paris, Emma became Australia’s most decorated Olympian.

Emma won three Olympic medals at the 2024 Paris Games, taking home gold in the 4x100m freestyle relay, silver in the 4x100m medley relay and bronze in the mixed 4x100m medley relay.

At the end of the Olympic Games in Paris, which she had declared in advance would be her last, Emma has collected fourteen Olympic medals since 2016.

Emma and Cody went ‘Instagram official’ with their relationship in July 2022, three months after they started dating in secret.

Last year the loving couple celebrated this by buying their first house together.

The pair spent $1.826 million on a love nest for families on the Gold Coast, proving their headline-making romance, which blossomed while training for the 2022 Commonwealth Games, has gotten pretty serious.

Speaking to Mark Bouris on the Straight Talk podcast in September, Cody said marriage may still be some way off for the couple, but he was quick to talk about his love.

“It’s not something we’ve talked about,” the pop star turned swimmer admitted, but waxed lyrical about their loving relationship.

“We have something that is beautiful, honest and pure,” Cody explained, adding that marriage was possible later.

“If something means enough to you and your family, means that much to me and will mean that much to me, it will always be part of the picture,” he added.

Cody, who previously dated Miley Cyrus, said he has had “tumulous relationships” in the past and is happy with the stability with Emma.

“It gave me a new life, it built me ​​these beautiful, healthy habits, it gave me a great partner and it gave me a life in Australia again,” he said.

Miley and Cody dated while he was living in the US, splitting in August 2020 after ten months together.
