‘Awful’: 42-Year-Old Star’s Wardrobe Mishap Exposed
Rebecca Judd turned heads at the 2025 Howden Victoria Derby Day at Flemington, dazzling in a custom off-the-shoulder lace gown by J’Aton. Yet, a few candid moments revealed the challenges even seasoned celebrities face at the event.
Entrance Hiccups
The Crown ambassador reportedly encountered a hiccup while entering the venue hosted by the Victorian Race Club. Witnesses said she struggled to scan her digital ticket, momentarily holding up the queue in what was described as a small “mishap.”
Inside the Birdcage
Once inside, Judd’s troubles weren’t completely over. Photos showed her posing gracefully, but a visible Crown marquee wristband caught attention and distracted from her otherwise flawless look.
“They think the talent are divas but how can you do media shots with these awful things on?”
said a PR insider, noting that strict birdcage security often makes it “impossible” to get the perfect photo.
Public Reaction
Despite the incident, fans flooded social media with praise, calling her look “incredible,” “divine,” and asking, “Are you kidding me?” Her appearance became one of the most talked-about moments of Derby Day.
Other Attendees
Media personality Carrie Bickmore, who received criticism for her look the previous year, also attended again this time, seemingly unfazed by last year’s backlash.
Author’s summary: Rebecca Judd’s stunning Derby Day appearance was slightly overshadowed by a small ticket glitch and a much-discussed wristband, yet her style still stole the spotlight.
