SHE’S BACK. BIGGER. BOLDER. AND SOMEHOW EVEN MORE BIANCA. 🥂🔥

Did we even think that was possible?!

For the THIRD year running, we are thrilled to welcome back the woman you keep asking for...

✨ BIANCA DYE IS BACK AS YOUR DERBY DAY MC! ✨

Three years. Three Derby Days. And there was simply no way we were doing this without her.

Quick-witted, fabulously unpredictable, effortlessly glamorous and always ready to stir up a little race-day mischief, Bianca brings the kind of energy you just can’t script.

You loved her. You asked for more. We listened.

This year she’ll once again take the reins at the Veuve Clicquot Fashion Luncheon, guiding us through an afternoon of racing, fashion, entertainment and, of course, the Fashions on the Field Competition. 🏆🏇🏼

And if the last two years have taught us anything...

give Bianca a microphone and buckle up. 😂🥂

Welcome back, Bianca.

Derby Day just wouldn’t be Derby Day without you. 🧡

THEY’RE BACK! 💪🏼🏆

We absolutely LOVE seeing our sponsors return year after year, and we’re excited to welcome EMF back to the 2026 Fashions on the Field prize pool!

This year, EMF is bringing the goods with:

🔥 2 x THREE-MONTH EMF MEMBERSHIPS

Valued at over $1,700!
Tier one 3 month, male and female membership.

Going home with two of our lucky Fashions on the Field winners.

Because after ch*****ne, race-day celebrations and a VERY good Spring Carnival, a little EMF membership might be exactly what the winners need. 😂🥂

With gyms continuing to grow across the Gold Coast, EMF is all about movement, community and feeling good, making them such a natural partner for our fashion and lifestyle audience.

Thank you EMF for backing our winners again in 2026.
