Kimmi Varcoe took home the Best Dressed Womenswear prize at the 2018 Millicent Cup on Sunday April 29. It was her emerald silk number and turban inspired millinery that caught the judges eye. Growing up around race horses, Kimmi started coming to the races when she was just 5 years old - so it's no surprise that she knew a thing (or two) about racing style.
We spent 5 minutes with Kimmi after her win to get to know her a little more. Read on...
