Pip Edwards stuns at the Melbourne Cup in a revealing, fashion-forward turquoise ensemble as she puts on a loved-up display with new boyfriend Nicholas Nogarotto

Pip Edwards' romance with new boyfriend Nicholas Nogarotto is certainly heating up.

The couple couldn't keep their hands off each other as they arrived at the Melbourne Cup at Flemington Racecourse on Tuesday.

The loved-up pair posed for social media photos before making their way into The Birdcage.

Pip, 46, looked incredible in an elaborate J'Aton Couture creation.

She wore a turquoise peplum top with a dramatic train, paired with sheer capri pants.

The fashion designer completed the look with a matching, Boy George-inspired embellished turquoise hat and suede stilettos in the same hue.

Pip also made a statement at Derby Day on Saturday, stepping out in a striking white gown by Australian designer Mariam Seddiq.

For the opening day of the Spring Racing Carnival, she embraced another dramatic silhouette in a sleeveless high-neck design featuring layers of ruffled fabric and sheer detailing.

The voluminous gown boasted a thigh-high split that showcased a pair of lace Jimmy Choo thigh-high boots with strappy detailing. She finished the look with a helmet-style fascinator that obscured her eyes and featured delicate netting falling beneath her chin.

Fashion was not the only thing on Pip's mind, with the designer also offering a brief update on her new relationship with businessman Nicholas.

Asked by Daily Mail how things were going between them, Pip replied: 'We're happy. I'm super happy.'

The pair have increasingly stepped out together at high-profile events since their relationship first came to public attention earlier this year.

Pip debuted her romance with Nicholas in April when they attended a VIP Prada party in Sydney.

She later accompanied him to Australian Fashion Week, where the couple were seen cuddling up at the Carla Zampatti runway show.

In May, an insider told The Daily Telegraph the relationship was going strong, with Pip reportedly 'head over heels in love'.

The designer later shared a photograph of herself and Nicholas during a romantic getaway to Tasmania, including a visit to Hobart's Museum of Old and New Art.

Nicholas is a director at consultancy firm Freshwater Strategy and serves as a non-executive director of not-for-profit organisation Karitane.

Prior to that, he spent 11 years as an executive director at global consultancy firm CT Group before departing in 2022.
