Derby Day may have come to a close at Flemington Racecourse on Saturday afternoon, but Melbourne’s A-list crowd continued celebrating long after the final race.
Among those trading the track for a glamorous rooftop party were style icons Pip Edwards and Lindy Klim, Collingwood footballers Josh and Nick Daicos, and celebrity stylist Lana Wilkinson, who carried the festivities into the night.
Melbourne’s fashion crowd turned out in force for Tequila Don Julio’s exclusive Don After Dark event at The Beverly, perched 24 floors above the city.
Pip Edwards and Lana Wilkinson made a striking fashion pairing as they posed together for photographers at the star-studded celebration.
Pip, 46, embraced understated glamour in an asymmetrical grey draped top and wide-leg black trousers. She completed the look with her blonde hair styled in relaxed, beachy waves.
Lana, meanwhile, commanded attention in a white high-neck mini dress, complete with dramatic fringing and exaggerated shoulder pads.

‘I don’t want to say Tim Tams! It is amazing to be back, was here in November last year. What have I missed? I have missed the Australian people,’ Tinie began.
‘The energy we get every time we come here is nothing but love, it is so good!’
