On February 24th Canberra has the chance to dress to impress at the AAMI Black Opal Stakes.
To leave a lasting impression you’ll need a complete, head-to-toe look- think the feminine sensuality of style icons; Marylin Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Dita Von Teese and Scarlet Johansson.
Suss out Momento Dezigns and Wings of Desire for a great range of floaty femme finds.
Look for Grecian style and 50’s glam with a modern twist, in cream, white, black and gold and if you want bold go for teal, orange, yellow and purple. Strong graphic prints and shimmering metallics are hot this season and if you prefer finer detail go for subtle beading or sequins.
When it comes to hats and fascinators the more elaborate the better whether you choose an oversized hat, 40’s cap or fascinator.
No look is complete without the perfect shoes so leave your flats at home and compliment your outfit with strappy platforms or an elegant round toe.
Keep earrings to a minimal and accessorize with bangles and large jeweled rings. Printed and jeweled clutches are a must whether small and structured or oversized.
And finally to beauty, try siren red lips with subtle eyes or opt for smoky eyes with soft gloss complete with either rock star curls or polished up style.
For the men, opt for pale grey suiting with a slim cut leg. Team this with a crisp white shirt and a skinny black tie in leather or silk for a rock god statement.
