The Tuesday which unofficially kicks of the silly season is upon us, and to mark it, celebrities from the whole spectrum of the alphabet (well, from A to D, anyway) gather at Flemington racecourse to be seen. There are rumours they also watch some horses race, but this is unconfirmed.
To celebrate the race that stops a nation here's a round up of how everyone got ready ('cos first comes the selfies) and then what/who they're wearing.
Because let's face it, you're most likely just trying to look busy this morning until it's time to go to the office Cup lunch.
Stay tuned for breaking fashion news as we update this story as it happens.
