Now they\u2019re all sucking Champagne through straws through their veils.\u201d<\/p>\n Melissa Leong outside the Landmark Lexus marquee on Derby Day.<\/span>Credit: <\/span>Justin McManus<\/cite><\/p>\n Dress:<\/strong> Toni Maticevski \u201cI\u2019m working with a new stylist so the brief was edgy, with just a touch of bitch,\u201d Melissa Leong says. \u201cSure I can\u2019t sit down in it and I was driven in a Lexus with the dress unzipped but it was worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI did zip it up the moment I got out of the car.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThese are my lucky Logies shoes. Sure, I didn\u2019t win, but I feel lucky today.\u201d<\/p>\n Heidi Middleton at Derby Day wearing a vintage outfit.<\/span>Credit: <\/span>Justin McManus<\/cite><\/p>\n Dress:<\/strong> Vintage Designer Heidi Middleton continues to embody the spirit of sass & bide, the label she founded with Sarah Jane Clark and sold to Myer in 2013.<\/p>\n \u201cI found this dress at a flea market in Boston,\u201d says Middleton, who now focuses on her label Artclub. \u201cIt\u2019s from the 1940s and I shortened it.\u201d<\/p>\n The length and romper vibes might be at odds with VRC rules but Middleton\u2019s cool confidence had attendants at the Lexus marquee looking the other way, and other guests looking on enviously.<\/p>\n Simone Holtznagel serving Bardot, Tate and Schiffer in Effie Katz outside the Lexus marquee on Derby Day.<\/span>Credit: <\/span>Justin McManus<\/cite><\/p>\n Dress:<\/strong> Effie Katz \u201cThe brief was Sharon Tate, Claudia Schiffer and a touch of Brigitte Bardot,\u201d says model Simone Holtznagel. The sex kitten purr was kept to respectable limits with the sixties references swinging in a playful direction.<\/p>\n \u201cI needed low shoes because I\u2019m pregnant,\u201d says Holtznagel, who is expecting a girl with her partner, personable personal trainer Jono Castono. \u201cThis is subdued. Wait until Melbourne Cup. I\u2019m going all out then.\u201d<\/p>\n There was no need to wait.<\/p>\n Supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio in Paris Georgia as an exclusive guest of Lexus at Derby Day.<\/span>Credit: <\/span>Justin McManus<\/cite><\/p>\n
