The grandeur of the Breeders’ Cup brings the most impressive fashion, with a focus on purple and gold colors, which are the Breeder’ classic colors. Christine A. Moore Millinery was the Official Milliner of the Breeders' Cup, outfitting celebrities on the signature “Purple Carpet” and inside the Trophy Lounge. *Davina Portratz, Loreen Hwang and Audrina Patridge are all wearing Christine A.
