Rebecca Judd attended the 2025 Howden Victoria Derby Day at Flemington on Saturday, appearing “stunning” in a custom J’Aton off-the-shoulder lace dress. Despite her elegant look, her day encountered a few hiccups.
At the event entrance, Judd reportedly struggled to scan her digital ticket, causing a delay. One outlet described her attempt as “awkward” and termed it a “mishap.”
Once inside, Judd faced another challenge. While posing for photos, her Crown marquee wristband was highly visible. A PR insider revealed to news.com.au that security protocols inside the birdcage make it “impossible” to get perfect media shots.
“They think the talent are divas but how can you do media shots with these awful things on?”
Despite these issues, Judd’s outfit was well-received by fans, who called it “incredible,” “divine,” and reacted with disbelief like, “Are you kidding me?”
Carrie Bickmore, who faced backlash at last year’s Derby Day, still chose to attend again this year, showing the event’s continued appeal to celebrities.
Rebecca Judd’s 2025 Derby Day was marked by wardrobe elegance but also logistical challenges, highlighting ongoing difficulties celebrities face at high-profile events.
