Kylie Minogue, Hall Passes and Our Brutal Mid-Year Report Card

Bec Harding has officially married Andy Lee in New York City, and we've got the exclusive pre-wedding conversation! Just 24 hours before flying to Manhattan for one of Australia's most talked-about celebrity weddings of 2026, Rebecca "Bec" Harding joined her best friend, celebrity stylist Elliot Garnaut, and four-time AFL premiership player Isaac Smith on No Utes in the Valet. And Bec isn't holding back on the wedding preparations. From the secret four-day New York celebrations and the famous wedding guest she's deliberately seated away from Elliot, to finding her dream Steven Khalil wedding dress just weeks before the big day, Bec takes us behind the scenes of her wedding to Australian comedian and television personality Andy Lee. She also reveals the extensive beauty and wellness routine she followed in the lead-up to the wedding, the surprising lack of preparation from Andy, the incredible wedding menu and why planning an international wedding has been far more overwhelming than she expected. But there's much more happening in Bec's world than wedding bells. Bec opens up about renovating Ravenswood, the historic Melbourne mansion she and Andy are transforming with renowned interior designer David Flack. She also shares the story behind her successful women's shaving and body care brand, LUI, and her unexpected voice acting role alongside Andy in the children's animated series Do Not Watch This Show.

The Melbourne Cup Carnival is changing, and Victoria Racing Club CEO Kylie Rogers is right at the centre of it. This week, Isaac Smith and Elliot Garnaut sit down with Kylie to go inside the 2026 Melbourne Cup Carnival at Flemington, from the celebrities, fashion and famous Birdcage to world-class racing, live music, food and the evolution of one of Australia’s biggest sporting events. Kylie reveals how the VRC is balancing more than 160 years of tradition with a new generation of racegoers, including the “festivalisation” of racing, changes to members’ fashion rules and a growing focus on music, dining and entertainment. They break down all four days of the Melbourne Cup Carnival, including Howden Victoria Derby Day, Lexus Melbourne Cup Day, Crown Oaks Day and TAB Champions Stakes Day, plus what makes each day at Flemington completely different. Kylie also takes Isaac and Elliot behind the scenes of what it’s actually like to run the VRC during Cup Week. There’s plenty coming in 2026 too, including Robbie Williams performing on Melbourne Cup Day, new food and dining experiences across Flemington, Fashions on the Field and plenty more still to be announced. Kylie also explains why Flemington is becoming about much more than racing, combining sport with fashion, food, wine, entertainment and Melbourne culture. And, naturally, Elliot wants to know what everyone will be wearing. 🏇 2026 Melbourne Cup Carnival tickets: Buy tickets via the Victoria Racing Club Follow Kylie Rogers: Kylie Rogers on LinkedIn Follow the boys: Isaac Smith on Instagram Elliot Garnaut on Instagram No Utes in the Valet on Instagram Subscribe to No Utes in the Valet for more conversations covering AFL, sport, fashion, celebrity news, pop culture and the wonderfully unlikely friendship between four-time AFL premiership player and Norm Smith medallist Isaac Smith and celebrity stylist Elliot Garnaut.
