Fashion is always a huge part of the Melbourne Cup Carnival and even as it comes to an end, the looks are still world class.
Elle Erifilli Rayias was snapped at Champion Stakes Day on Saturday wearing a lemon dress from Eliya the Label. It’s the fourth and final event in the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
The strapless dress had gold metal detailing down the bust. It also had a sheer crimped skirt. Ms Rayias, best known as Elle Ray on social, was styled by Lana Wilkinson for the event.
Social media users lost their minds over the look.
“I’m obsessed,” one social media user simply said.
Another said: “So beautiful! That lemon on you is heaven.”
One screamed the look was “iconic”.
Ms Rayias is known for her showstopping outfits. She caught attention at the Brownlows. The 21-year-old was hosting the AFL’s social media coverage on TikTok.
For the event she opted for a very racy wedding gown from Marquise Bridal that featured a cut out that ran from the top of her dress to the bottom – flashing a bold amount of skin, including her bust, naval and thigh.
Social media was blown away by her ensemble, labelling the outfit “jaw-dropping”.
“OMG, this is the look of the night,” one wrote on TikTok.
“The way my jaw dropped,” another shared.
While another said Ms Rayias looked “unreal”.
“Excuse me? You look so hot,” someone else mused.
Fellow influencer Ella Squire was also at Saturday’s race. She also opted for a strapless number for the event. Her dress featured a blue and black geometric design, which she paired with black sandal heels. It was also from Eliya the Label.
Her face was covered by her netted fascinator, meaning she had to keep her accessories simple with a small black bag and gold hoops.
Racing ambassador Kate Waterhouse also went with a blue number, embracing a fun summer look for the final day of the carnival.
She wore a spaghetti strap dress that she paired with a small white bag. She wore pointed toe heels and a large brimmed hate. Her hair was styled in loose waves.
Paul Versace, a stylist who appeared on Made in Bondi, attended alongside model Bayle Smith. Mr Versace wore a grey suit jacket and shorts for the event. His black socks were pulled up and his tie was oversized.
Mr Smith’s lighter in colour outfit looked similar. However, his jacket was cropped and he was wearing trousers.
Actress Rachel Griffiths went for a bold pink number. She wore a pink mid-length dress and an oversized hat that matched.
Australian swimming champion Ariarne Titmus followed the theme of the day and went for a strapless dress. The bust had a cut out in the middle. The dress was white at the top before switching to a bright yellow. She wore white sandal heels with her outfit.
Titmus posed alongside former jockey Michelle Payne who, like Griffiths, went for a pink look. Payne’s dress had a one shoulder design and fell just above her knees. The dress almost looked as if there was a slanted bow in the middle of it.
Payne also went for the pointed toe heel look, with a netting over her eyes.
