It was another tough year for the Fashions on the Field judge and organisers, attracting a high standard of entries.
“It was very hard to select winners,” Fashions on the Field sponsor, Alison Foreman from Label A said.
Canberra milliner Trish McIntyre was this year’s judge, who - according to Alison - had a different judging style than Young was used to.
“Trish looked for more modern fashion, but she also looked at their forward poise, how they walked and held themselves,” Alison said.
This year’s Most Elegant Lady went to local businesswoman Holly Cullen, who wore a fluoro orange and black frock teamed with a matching fascinator and accessories.
The Best Dressed Male was awarded to another local, David Butt, in his quirky red suit jacket, navy blue pants, blue shirt, yellow tie and brown leather shoes.
Young Racegoer (16-25 years) for 2014 was Georgia Brill while the Fillies category was won by Annabella Taylor.
Best Hat went to Pricilla Edgerton and the winners of the Best Dressed Couple must have been busy celebrating their win and forgot to report back to the judges with their names.
“I thought it (the fashion) was fantastic,” judge Trish said.
Trish - who has seen her fair share of judging races in Victoria, said many would have fit in perfectly at the Flemington spring races.
“People put a lot of thought into their outfits... and some of the men outshone some of the women.”
