Celebrity arrivals trickle in for 2025 Stakes Day at Melbourne Cup Carnival as Kate Waterhouse leads the pack with stunning emerald gown

Celebrities began arriving at Flemington Racecourse on Saturday for Stakes Day, part of the Melbourne Cup Carnival.

It wasn’t a surprise to see Kate Waterhouse there, honestly. As Gai Waterhouse’s daughter and with her dad being a well-known bookmaker, she’s always around the racing scene, and I fully expected she’d be present.

The 41-year-old model turned heads in a striking emerald green dress from Forever New. The satin and lace gown featured an asymmetrical design and fit snugly around her upper body.

Kate completed her outfit with white Jimmy Choo heels and a matching clutch, both of which are quite expensive – the shoes cost $1,500 and the clutch $1,600.

The journalist completed her outfit with a wide-brimmed green hat and several gold accessories, including rings, a bangle, and large teardrop earrings.

She was seen trying to shield her eyes with sunglasses while walking in the rain in Melbourne.

Ariarne Titmus arrived shortly after, wearing a flowing, baby blue dress from Aje that cost $695.

The 25-year-old Olympic swimmer completed her look with a stylish fascinator and white heels that faded to blue at the toes.

Opting for a simple bangle and ring, she finished her look with a silver clutch from Coach.

Chantelle Ford made a stylish statement with a floral Elliatt dress worn over a classic white button-up shirt.

The Australian hat designer looked delighted while demonstrating her fashion sense, accessorizing with a silver clutch and gold heels.

She finished her look with bold gold bracelets and earrings that matched her headband, then added a pair of large, black sunglasses.

Brodie Harper and Heath Meldrum made a striking impression as they arrived together, both wearing matching red outfits and looking very much in love.

The host of Postcards, who is 44 years old, completed her outfit with a pink Michael Kors handbag, while her partner, a high-performance coach, added a blue tie to his look.

More to come.
