“I wanted to show my masculine and feminine side, and it feels wonderful,” said Demi, completing her look with a fedora from Kim Fletcher.

While Mum has the fashion pedigree, Demi turned to Dad to help complete the look.
“I have to learn how to tie a tie one day, but yes, Dad did it up for me.”
Ruby Brownless: In the red
Content creator and daughter of AFL legend Billy Brownless, Ruby Brownless left masculine touches to Brereton, swinging fully to the feminine side of the style spectrum in a dress from Meshki.
“It’s pretty clear that red is the colour of the season,” Brownless said. “Let’s call it now. Just look around. It seems to make people pretty happy.”

Brownless completed her look with a pillbox hat from Ezara/J and a clashing (deliberately, of course) burgundy bag from Bottega Veneta.
Olympia Valance: Mint moment
Actor Olympia Valance was more concerned with the corset of her aqua dress from Melbourne dressmaker Shehzarin Batha Couture than letting the red trend pass her by in a ’50s style.
“I can’t breathe in this corset, but this is what we do,” Valance said from beneath her Ezara/J hat. “I just had a sip of champagne. Big mistake. Huge!
“I was just standing beside everyone else in red. I’m happy to stand out.”
There was a touch of the Disney princess about the look, but Valance refused to see it as a Cinderella moment.
“Pocahontas, perhaps?” she said.

Emily Gurr: Cowgirl chic
The model-turned-creative director of Beverly Rooftop kept things casual in a vest and matching trousers from Sandro with a sequin detail.
“I normally design my own looks from top to toe, but I wanted to make it more fun,” Gurr said. “You still need tradition, but show up as yourself.”
