Racegoers put their best fashion foot forward today as they headed to Royal Ascot for the fifth and final day.
One of the highlights of the racing calendar, the Berkshire event is as famous for its fashion as its horses.
And although the weather in Ascot today is less than ideal and the sky is cloudy and not entirely clear, that didn’t stop partygoers from donning their best clothes.
Flamboyant headpieces and vibrant dresses were the order of the day, with many choosing to wear bright shades such as fuchsia and scarlet.
While some opted for maxi dresses, others opted for more daring cuts, with some racegoers showing off sky-high hemlines.

Royal Ascot, the jewel in the crown of the British racing calendar, started on Tuesday with the Queen Anne Stakes and finishes today.
This year’s meeting will have a total prize money pot of £10 million. This is a record amount for Royal Ascot. The minimum winnings for all eight Group 1 races is £650,000.
It was founded in 1711 by Queen Anne after she declared Ascot ideal for ‘horses that can gallop at full speed’ and today has become both a major social event and a sporting attraction.
For the first time in its 313-year history, Ascot Racecourse announced the appointment of a creative director this year.
British fashion designer Daniel Fletcher was responsible for creating the annual 2024 Lookbook and Millinery Collective, which set the style tone for the year and often inspired the outfits of racegoers.
He is known for his classically tailored silhouettes and modern, gender-fluid clothing; his spring/summer 2023 collection included corset designs for both men and women.
