Rebecca Judd appeared stunning at the 2025 Howden Victoria Derby Day held at Flemington on Saturday, wearing a custom J’Aton off-the-shoulder lace dress. However, her day at the races came with unexpected challenges.
Judd reportedly struggled to enter the event, which was hosted by the Victorian Race Club (VRC). One report noted she held up the queue as she awkwardly attempted to scan her digital ticket but failed, describing the situation as a mishap.
Once inside, Judd continued to face issues. While posing for photos, her Crown marquee wristband was quite visible, which detracted from her otherwise flawless look.
A PR insider told news.com.au, “The security inside the birdcage makes it impossible to get the perfect shot. They think the talent are divas but how can you do media shots with these awful things on?”
Despite these problems, Judd’s outfit received widespread praise. Fans described her look as “incredible” and “divine,” with one commenting, “Are you kidding me?”
Carrie Bickmore faced significant criticism last year after attending the same event, though this did not deter her from attending again in 2025.
