Chances are you’re a few wines down by now, so sit back, relax and enjoy all the show-stopping getups and outlandish fascinators that graced Flemington Racecourse today with our gallery below. Happy Melbourne Cup, Australia.

Louise Pillidge and Blake Garvey
Louise stepped out with the man who deemed her third-best, in a classy midi dress to keep in line with her ever-polished look. We think Blake actually looked pretty schmick, despite what second-best Lisa Hyde might have to say about his style.

Geoffrey Edelsten and Gabi Grecko
And the worst dress goes to... these show ponies. Gabi complemented her shiny hubby-to-be in a ridonkulous clown-adorned outfit and outlandish antlers on her head.

Ronn Moss
He's bold, and he's definitely beautiful. The 62-year-old showed off his enviable cheek bones with slicked-back hair, which worked well with his strictly monochromatic suit.

Anna Heinrich
The girl who won the last Australian Bachelor's heart, without any dodgy engagements and rumoured pregnancies, shone in Alex Perry.
-
Nadia Bartel and Tully Smyth
Blogger and WAG Nadia rocked muted tones in a By Johnny colourblock dress, Danica Erard headpiece and what looks like Tony Bianco x Harper & Harley's "knot thing" heels. 2013 Big Brother contestant Tully opted for a monochromatic Shona Joy dress.

Maddy King and Kris Smith
Maddy looked amazing in a neutral-coloured Mira Mandic dress, with a beautifully embroidered bodice and split-front skirt, alongside her hunky partner at the Myer marquee.
-
Leah Simmons
The DJ stunned in a divine crisp-white dress by Ellery, plus Amber Sceats jewels.
-
Melissa Doyle
The TV presenter played it safe in an LBD, and we're so happy she did. Less is definitely more when it comes to this particular outfit.
-
Laura Dundovic, Kate Peck and Lauren Phillips
It was all about bright colours at the Myer marquee, with these babes stepping out in corals and emerald green.

Rachael Finch
Yeojin Bae was a firm favourite at Melbourne Cup, with the model turning to the designer's red apron-style dress for the event.
-
Renae Ayris
This high-neck lilac dress by Elle Zeitoune was the perfect fit for the former Miss Universe contestant.
-
Bambi Northwood-Blyth
The bushy-browed model looked super-sweet in a long-sleeved butterfly-print dress complete with a flower crown.
-
Gigi Hadid
All eyes were on the model of the moment in a high-neck pink Alex Perry frock and star fascinator.
-
Lleyton and Bec Hewitt
We wanted to like Bec's outfit, really, but the matching neon accessories are so dated.
