Pip Edwards captured attention at the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday, arriving at Flemington Racecourse in a vibrant, fashion-forward teal ensemble. The designer, accompanied by her new boyfriend Nicholas Nogarotto, showcased an elaborate J'Aton Couture creation featuring a peplum top with a dramatic train, paired with sheer capri pants. Her look was completed with a matching turquoise hat and suede stilettos.
Edwards, 46, also made a notable appearance at Derby Day earlier in the week, wearing a striking white gown by Australian designer Mariam Seddiq. This gown featured layered ruffles, sheer detailing, a thigh-high split, and was accessorized with lace Jimmy Choo thigh-high boots and a helmet-style fascinator.
Speaking about her new relationship, Edwards confirmed to the Daily Mail, "We're happy. I'm super happy." The couple have been increasingly seen together at public events since their relationship first gained public attention earlier this year. They debuted their romance in April at a VIP Prada party in Sydney and later attended the Carla Zampatti runway show during Australian Fashion Week.
Nogarotto is a director at consultancy firm Freshwater Strategy and serves as a non-executive director for the not-for-profit organisation Karitane. Prior to this, he held an executive director role at global consultancy firm CT Group for 11 years.
