Rebekah Scanlan @rebekahscanlan less than 2 min read October 27, 2021 - 2:19PM Take a look at some of the fashion from this year's Ladies Oaks Day! More From Celebrity VIP attendees of the prestigious Melbourne Cup will be subjected to a strict new dress code as spring racing officials continue to crack down on racy outfits. Just two weeks after the Australian Turf Club (ATC) stated trendy “cut out” dresses were now “unacceptable” race day attire, the Victorian Race Club (VRC) has issued the same strict guidelines to its members. The club’s members enclosure has warned it will be “strictly enforcing” the ladies dress regulations throughout the Melbourne Cup Carnival, which begins Saturday October 30 and ends on November 6. Race day fashion has always come with a strict guide book, but it seems organisers are doubling down after rules continuoually fail to act as a deterrant to famous attendees in the past. Flashing the flesh at the Melbourne Cup has always been frowned upon, but now officials have issued strict guidelines enforcing no midriffs.

Singer Delta Goodrem arrived in a gorgeous green floral dress that featured sheer puff sleeves and ran down to her shins. However the floaty number also had cut-outs on her hips, showing off her midriff. The 36-year-old finished her look with pale pink accessories, including a pink clutch, fascinator and strappy heels while her blonde hair was tied back with curled strands framing her face. Other garments deemed “not acceptable” at Flemington include jeans, shorts and leggings as well as “ripped” clothing and bulky jackets like parkas and duffel coats. Australian Turf Club recently ruled cut-out dresses were ‘not acceptable’. Picture: Mackenzie Sweetnam/Getty Images The embattled former WAG wore the controversial outfit at Derby Day in 2019.

The cut-out trend has become a celebrity favourite in the last few years, regularly worn by influencers and A-listers. Kim Kardashian was one of the first to go full throttle with the risque design, wearing a vintage Thierry Mugler gown in 2019 that sparked the trend. Since then it has been seen on countless red carpets for movie premieres as well as altering fashion and swimwear trends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think every woman between the ages of 18 and 35 who haven't had children should be able to display their bare midriffs at the races! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gammalite Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 The Melbourne Cup day, Derby day and Oaks day are already famous for a few flopping around on the ground after a few Champers showing more than a bare midriff in some cases. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
