The looks that stop the nation: Best outfits from Melbourne Cup

The race that stops the nation is here, and stars from Australia and around the world are dressed to impress for the occasion.

Celebrities and punters arrived at Flemington Racecourse ahead of the main event at 3pm.

Lady Kitty Spencer, who attended the event as the special guest of sponsor Lexus and the Victoria Racing Club, stunned in form-fitting multi-coloured ombre dress with bell sleeves. She paired the sparkly attire with an elaborate black headpiece and strappy heel.

The last time Lady Kitty attended the Melbourne Cup was in 2015, where she wore a white ensemble with a silver-and-white headpiece.

Former The Block contestant Elyse Knowles dons a plunging leopard-print dress, complemented with a black wide-brimmed hat and pointy-toed heels.

TV presenter and former pageant queen Rachael Finch has chosen a Roland Mouret red dress with a wide-brimmed hat, strappy heels and a clutch bag in matching colours.

Studio 10 host Angela Bishop has chosen a long black frock with eye-catching red heart print, paired with a headpiece and a set of long earrings.

Jock Zonfrillo, restaurateur and one of MasterChef’s new judges, has gone for a three-piece suit with black, white and red plaid pattern as he appeared with his wife Lauren, who stunned in black floral dress.

Former tennis player Sam Groth showed up in navy suit and white pants, while his wife Brittany has opted for a long Bohemian-style blue dress.
