Hidden tribute to Shane Warne in daughter Brooke's Melbourne Cup ensemble
Brooke Warne is keeping her late dad Shane Warne close by as she attends the 2025 Melbourne Cup.
The 28-year-old took to the races with her brother Jackson, 26.
While he wore a white suit and pale blue tie, his sister donned a yellow and red ensemble to add a pop of colour to the gloomy weather hanging over Flemington racecourse.

Brooke's butter yellow dress was from Forever New. Called the Miller Petite Pleat Halter Midi Dress, Brooke's dress is in the shade Spring Daffodil and retails for $209.99.
Her red shoes and handbag were courtesy of Dolci Firme, while the chic red beret is from Aussie hat-maker Millinery Jill.
But it's her accessories that hold a special meaning.

Brooke seemed to have no fear in mixing and matching her metals, with her bold gold earrings sourced from accessories brand Heaven Mayhem.
But the rest of her jewellery is in silver, with most of it being very personal to her.
Her watch was a gift, and one of her rings is from KDJ jewellery, a friend's business.

But the most special was her Linden Cook ring, which "is actually engraved with my mum and dad's handwriting," she told nine.com.au.
The ring, which she displayed on her left hand, features engraving around the band in her dad Shane and mum Simone Callahan's handwriting, spelling out their own names
The cricketer was married to Callahan from 1999 to 2005, with the pair welcoming their children, Brooke, Jackson, and Summer.
There is another detail outfit that is being pointed out to her, making her giggle.
It turns out Brooke, who is an ambassador for Ronald McDonald House, has inadvertently dressed in their signature colours.
"I didn't plan to do it on purpose," she shared, "but funnily enough, someone actually commented on my TikTok saying 'Each year, Brooke, you dress up like the marquee that you're in. This year will you be looking like McDonald's?'
"And I was like, 'How could I be doing that?' And then I put it on today and I'm like, 'Oh my goodness, I'm the golden arches'."
