The Spring Racing Edit – Luxury Race Day Style by Riada Concept
The Season of Elegance
Spring Racing Season marks the return of Australia’s most glamorous calendar of events — where fashion, colour, and refinement take centre stage.
At Riada Concept, we embrace this moment with a curated edit of luxury designer dresses, Italian-crafted accessories, and elevated race day silhouettes that embody timeless sophistication from the marquee to the winner’s circle.
Discover your perfect ensemble for Derby Day, Oaks Day, and Melbourne Cup Day, each styled for the modern woman who dresses with intent, elegance, and ease.
Derby Day – Monochrome Mastery
Derby Day sets the tone for the season with its classic black-and-white dress code, celebrating timeless tailoring and polished silhouettes. This is the day to embrace refined simplicity and architectural design.
Ulla Johnson Othella Short Sleeve Midi Dress in Noir
A study in modern minimalism, the Othella Short Sleeve Midi Dress in Noir balances structure and grace. Its sculpted silhouette and clean lines exude effortless sophistication, making it a striking choice for Derby Day.
Complete your look with Henry Beguelin leather heels and a structured clutch, paired with Thierry Lasry sunglasses for Italian-inspired refinement. Keep accessories understated to let the purity of monochrome shine.
Melbourne Cup Day – Bold, Confident Colour
The fashion highlight of the season, Melbourne Cup Day invites creativity and colour. It’s the day to embrace statement prints, luxurious textures, and vibrant hues that command attention.
Featured Look:
The Sara Roka Tabbie 85 Midi Skirt in Techno Stripes and the Sara Roka Kafka Silk Kaftan in Tropical Hibiscus capture the spirit of Cup Day with their striking colourful prints and refined silhouette. Both playful and poised, they embody the confident glamour synonymous with Melbourne Cup fashion.
Pair the Sara Roka Midi Skirt with a Pierre-Louis Mascia silk shirt to create a vibrant, statement-making ensemble with refined elegance. Add Thierry Lasry sunglasses for a touch of European sophistication, metallic heels and sleek hair for a polished, race-ready ensemble.
Oaks Day – Feminine Florals and Soft Hues
Oaks Day, also known as Ladies Day, celebrates femininity, colour, and elegance. Think delicate florals, pastel tones, and soft silhouettes that move with grace.
Featured Look:
The Sara Roka Danielle 85 Dress in Black and Beige Stripe is a true expression of modern romance. Its strong stripe print and structured shape create a look that’s both contemporary and timeless — perfect for Oaks Day’s sophisticated spirit.
Add the
Sara Roka Ribbon Belt in Tangerine and opt for Henry Beguelin heels or sandals and a leather bag to enhance the feminine tones of the dress. Gold accents and natural, softly waved hair complete the look with understated luxury.
The Finishing Touches – Defining Luxury Accessories
No race day look is complete without the perfect accessories. From Henry Beguelin Italian-crafted handbags to Philippe Model Paris footwear and Thierry Lasry sunglasses, Riada Concept offers the finishing touches that elevate any outfit.
Styling Tip:
Balance is key — if your dress makes a statement, let your accessories whisper sophistication. A subtle heel, structured bag, or refined earring can transform a look from beautiful to unforgettable.
