What to Wear to the Pegasus World Cup: Glamorous Race Day Style at Gulfstream Park
What to wear to the Pegasus World Cup at Gulfstream Park: glamorous race day outfits, the best fascinator colors, themed dress code tips, and when to order.
The Pegasus World Cup
The Pegasus World Cup Invitational is run each January at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Florida. It's held in late January and kicks off the year's major racing calendar. It's one of the most fashion-forward days in American racing — part championship race, part Miami-style party.
Pegasus World Cup Style: Race Day Meets Night Out
The Pegasus crowd dresses for a night out as much as a day at the races. Expect cocktail dresses, sleek jumpsuits, sharp suits, metallics, and plenty of black and white. The event often promotes a themed dress code, so check the official Pegasus World Cup site for the current year's theme before you plan your outfit.
The Best Fascinator Colors for the Pegasus World Cup
- Gold and champagne — glamorous and photogenic under South Florida sun.
- Black and white — high-contrast and chic. A black saucer with a white magnolia is a showstopper. See our black fascinators.
- Bold pinks — fuchsia and hot pink look right at home in Miami.
- Metallic accents — silver or rose gold details catch the light.
Choosing a Pegasus World Cup Fascinator
January in South Florida is warm, so a fascinator is far more comfortable than a full hat. Choose a sculptural saucer or teardrop for maximum glamour, or a feathered headband if you'll be on your feet all day. If the year has a theme, a custom piece designed around it is the best way to stand out.
