The Caulfield Classic Style People’s Choice Award
This year’s Cup fashion at the Caulfield Cup and Melbourne Cup is promising to set the standard for Australian fashion rules once again. As usual, the fashion 2009 will reveal nothing but stunning designs with top quality fabrics, leaving spectators at the races in awe.
Cup fashion stakes – what do the judges of Caulfield Cup and Melbourne Cup look for?
Your guess is as good as any, but when it comes to Cup fashion there are certain rules to abide by if you want to be in the run for one of the healthy cheques handed out at Caulfield Cup or Melbourne Cup races. Some of these are in the $200,000 region – not bad for a confident turn on stage while wearing your new design piece.
Fashions on the Filed is about unique creations, confidence and style. It’s about being able to look the judges in the eyes and being photograph-friendly. Many past winners of Fashion in the Field have stood out from the rest of the entrants into the competition by the combination of their ensemble, their grace, the way they held themselves and the confidence they portrayed (even if they might not have felt it at the time.)
Pose your heart out at Caulfield Cup fashion 2009:
Judges also look for an exposed neckline, feature or back in the ladies’ Cup fashion. The win is often decided in the minute details many of us fail to see unless we sharpen our eyes and senses to what the judges are looking for.
Your Spring Carnival Cup fashion essentials:
No fashion ensemble is complete without a dazzling smile and the right accessories. For any fashion conscious women keen enough to have a go at Caulfield Cup fashion 2009, remember to let your own personality shine with whatever you wear on the day.

What are the classic fashion mistakes?
One of the biggest fashion mistakes is to enter into the competition with the wrong attire. Please be sure to read the requirements and rules first before you make a fool of yourself. Another is to copy a previous winner. Always be your own authentic self when modelling your creations and wear that sexy smile to win the heart of the judges.
The best dress can look frumpy if mixed with a frown whereas the worst dress can look fabulous when the lady wearing it smiles with confidence and grace.
Some hats are definitely a bit more crazy than others
