And they’re off! We’re talking Royal Ascot guests, not horses, although they’re most certainly off too.
For many attendees of the five-day event, the opportunity to dress up is as much of a draw as the racing – maybe even more. That, and the chance to rub shoulders with celebrities or members of the Royal family.
As one of the summer’s most formal occasions, it presents a fun sartorial challenge: looking stylish whilst adhering to the strict dress codes for each enclosure. Guests will have been planning their outfits for months, commissioning bespoke dresses and hats, getting shoes dyed to match perfectly.
The result is a fashion parade like no other. Scroll on to see the most stylish Royal Ascot looks…
