Fancy a glass of French champagne anyone? What a marvelous way to kick off the morning to Melbourne’s most anticipated day of the year that is Melbourne Cup day, than to mingle with Australia’s most fabulous people, in Melbourne’s most luxurious, elegant and contemporary hotel the Park Hyatt.

The scene was set in the grand Trilogy room where elegant and powerful flower arrangements accompanied sumptuous station style cuisine that looked too pretty to eat, yet too delicious to say no. Famous faces mingled with their favourite designers and milliners took the cake when it came to fashion statements. My Aqua London dress seemed to be a hit with the fashion lover and despite all accusations, Georgie and I did not intentionally dress to be matching (we couldn’t have done it better if we tried- was the general comment!) I had a marvelous chat to  Brynne Gordon- Edelsten who told me she made her hat herself! Very impressive and what a wow factor it was. Jason Grechand Anthony Capon were accompanied by leggy models dressed in their creative designs for the Designers Awards, which Anthony went on to win later in the day at the track. Fashionistas such as Kasia Z, Amber Renae and Megan Castran perfected the Cup Day look and Georgina Dempsey won the ‘best dressed’ competition judged by the super stylish ladies Liberty and Kylie of the Park Hyatt.

Leaving on a high, new friendships formed, delicious food consumed and a champagne or two, the crowd said cheers to the outstanding Park Hyatt and were ready to celebrate the day that is the 150th Melbourne Cup.
