As is tradition with the Melbourne Cup, many women who watched the annual event yesterday showed off their glamorous hats and headdresses.
The event at the Grand Pacific Hotel saw Ashiana Ali scoop the best-dressed award.
“This has also allowed me to showcase what I have put together for this much-anticipated event,” she said.
Fiji Fashion Week (FJFW) managing director, Ellen Whippy-Knight said the Melbourne Cup was traditionally a race about horses that is also very closely tied to fashion on the field.
