You could spend a little or a lot but it really didn’t matter. Ladies’ Day at Royal Ascot was a surprisingly well-dressed affair where high-street looks swished alongside high-end designer labels.
Apparently, Topshop and Marks & Spencer were the most popular labels and the colour trend was black, white and cream, with the Queen trailblazing the look in cream coat and matching cream hat designed by Rachel Trevor-Morgan.
Trend verdict: black, white and a generous dash of cream with fire-engine red accessories.
