Melbourne cup, one of the most anticipated event in the year of Australian calendar, is about to kick off. The cup was started to host the competition of horse race in 1861 and from there it has evolved into a competition of fashion as well.

The contest was started by the Victoria race club committee in order to attract more people and add glamor to the competition in 1962. After that it has grown into a contest of racing and fashion.

Horse race completion and Melbourne cup is not only about the race, horses, champagnes and the bet. Sure they get the attention of whole media but it’s incomplete if there is no fashion and glamor to add beauty to the field.

It’s a great opportunity for the women to dress up as this completion provides contest for fashion as giving cash prizes to best fashion wearer, designer and people choice awards.

Because of this trend, the online shopping portals were largely contacted to book fashion wearings.

Natalie Maxwell, a fashion designer expresses her views by saying that the completion is great and it is always good to see people coming in large numbers all dressed up.

"It's amazing to see these women out here, Stockings and gloves are a really big do for me for the races...they're a must." She added.
