Ahh, the Melbourne Cup Carnival… It’s about to be upon us. Known for showcasing the good, the bad (and unfortunately, the ugly!) in the style stakes, it sure makes for fun observation whether you’re jostling in the Bird Cage or simply nibbling a cheese cube in the office. Featuring a host of local A-listers, socialites, a smattering of imported celebrities, and plenty of giddy-upped regular folk, there is plenty to gawk at.
