Story summary

The 2026 Caulfield Cup at Caulfield Racecourse was marked by large crowds of fashion-conscious attendees on an unseasonably warm day in Melbourne. Fashion winners included Olivia Molly Rogers, who wore a custom blush pink outfit from Oglia Loro Couture, and Lucy Elam, who glowed in her soft blue dress with a textured scarf. The event celebrated its 150th anniversary but the focus was on modern fashion trends rather than traditional racewear.
