Michelle Payne wore Lauren J Ritchie Millinery for Stakes Day 2025, held at Flemington Racecourse as part of the Victoria Racing Club’s spring carnival.

Styled by Alicia Style, the look paired a beautifully structured gown by KYHA Studios with a Lauren J Ritchie millinery piece designed to complement the clean lines and soft colour palette of the outfit. The result was a refined, modern race-day look well suited to the setting and occasion.

The ensemble was completed with earrings by Stephanie Browne, alongside hair and make-up by Shev Kelly. The look was captured by photographer Meagan Harding, documenting the elegance and detail of the styling on the day.

Seeing our millinery worn at an event as significant as Stakes Day at Flemington is always a special moment. Thank you to the talented team involved in bringing this look together.
