Melbourne Cup: Plunging dresses dominate 2020 fashion stakes

The Melbourne Cup 2020 is well and truly underway and while there may be no crowds at Flemington racecourse this year, that hasn’t stopped the celebrities from donning their best attire for the day.

SAS Australia star Arabella Del Busso put her brief time on the show well behind her by ditching her military fatigues for something a little more revealing to celebrate Melbourne Cup.

The 30-year-old glamour model took to her Instagram account on Tuesday morning to share her show-stopping look for the race that stops the nation.

Arabella slipped into a daring Versace mini dress that showed off her trim pins and an eyeful of cleavage courtesy a plunging neckline.

She paired the green jungle-inspired frock with nude heels, dangly earrings and a half-up-half-down ‘do.

Her followers took to the comments to gush over the outfit — a nod to singer JLo’s iconic Versace gown — with many calling it ‘stunning’.

“Oh my god yes!!!!! This colour on you, the hair, all of it!!! You look stunning,” wrote one.

“Is that the famous JLo dress?” asked another.

Arabella, of course, wasn’t the only Aussie celeb to frock up for the Cup, with a variety of famous faces going glam for smaller, COVID-safe events across the country.
