Women's Racewear

Women's Racewear

Women and their racewear became a focus at Flemington more than 40 years ago, when the first Fashions on the Field competition was held to try and entice more women to the racecourse. Today, the Women's Racewear category of the competition often eclipses the public and media attention at the track, such is the size and popularity of the event.

Now a national competition that's broadcast around the country on Network Seven, the Women's Racewear category is so hotly contested that for the first-time this year, all contestants must pre-register in order to enter MYER Fashions on the Field (Cup Week only - this does not apply to interstate events).

When you consider the prizes, it's no wonder that so many women enter. The major prize is a SAAB 9-3 Convertible!

While only one entrant will be the ultimate winner, everyone can share in the fun and all contestants will receive a MYER Gift Bag with L'Oreal Paris product! AND for the first-time this year, all Finalists will also walk-away with a prize package worth more than $500, including raceday tickets, L'Oreal Product and Antler Luggage!

Four easy steps to entering MYER Fashions on the Field:

  1. Plan your outfit, keeping in mind the judging criteria. What a better excuse for a shopping spree!
  2. Dress up & turn up to one of the interstate competitions (see below)
  3. Entry is free - simply fill in a registration form & hand it to the event staff
  4. Appear on stage before a panel of expert judges as part of the Heats process
