Elizabeth Hurley bucks the all-red theme in a vibrant yellow gown as she joins glamorous Samantha Armytage and Sylvia Jeffreys in leading the arrivals at the 2024 Melbourne Cup

The model, 40, made sure to capture attention as she stormed the top event on the Australian celebrity social calendar in a vibrant rouge designer ensemble.

The stayers event is one of the biggest in the world and has produced a long list of champions over the years, including the likes of Phar Lap, Kingston Town and the invincible feats of Makybe Diva. This year, 24 more Australian and international horses and their jockeys will be looking to etch their names into the history books while punters will be hoping to pick the winner - or land the ultimate trifecta.
