When spring racing icon Jennifer Hawkins stepped out in a feminine red-on-red outfit for Melbourne Cup last year, her lacy getup immediately set the benchmark for all the fashions on the field ahead.
She donned a red one-shoulder midi dress with lace detail, which added a hint of sex appeal by subtly showing off some skin. The 30-year-old model cleverly teamed the striking piece with red pointed-toe heels and a lace fascinator crown. She also incorporated white accessories like a cute hard-case clutch and a simple diamond-encrusted white watch, plus fresh makeup and neutral-hued nail polish, to make sure not to overdo the bold tones.
