Each year at Melbourne Cup there is a dominant trend. Whether it be tiara-like fascinators or block colours, one trend always comes out on top.
As far as we can tell from the early photos of today’s Melbourne Cup, we know that flower crowns are most definitely a thang this year.
But the classic flower crown has had a 2018 makeover.
Samantha Armytage has reinvented the flower crown with a handmade fabric floral crown by Polka.
Edwina Bartholomew has also worn a jewelled flower crown, with hints of blue complementing her stunning dress.
Deputy Lifestyle Editor and Fashion Editor at Fairfax Melissa Singer is usually a fabulous indication of the looks to come, and she is wearing a real life flower crown by Posy Chic.
Viktoria Novak has worn a seriously extra head piece with flowers, olives and jewels galore.
