Royal Ascot: A Celebration of Style and Fashion
The anticipation surrounding Royal Ascot is not just about thrilling horse racing; it’s also a grand display of remarkable fashion. As attendees don their finest attire, statement headpieces, and impeccable tailoring, the sartorial showcase off the racetrack rivals the excitement on it.
In 2023, Ascot redefined its official fashion guide with the introduction of the ‘Royal Ascot Lookbook,’ featuring six curated styles: Luxe, Tailoring, Pre-Loved & Rental, Vintage, High Street, and Emerging Designer. Building on this success, the 2024 event saw the unveiling of its inaugural ‘Fashion Bible,’ curated by acclaimed British designer Daniel Fletcher. As the first creative director in the event’s 300-year history, Fletcher brings a modern vision to Royal Ascot, emphasizing bold aesthetics, innovative sourcing, and sustainable fashion choices.
Scheduled from June 16 to June 21, 2024, this year’s event promises a wealth of sartorial inspiration, showcasing fashion trends that will resonate long into the summer season.
Attendees have already made headlines with their standout looks. On day one, Flora Gibbs made a statement in a powder pink coat dress complemented by a wide-brimmed hat. Georgia Toffolo showcased fashion-forward elegance in a mint green dress by Xu Zhi, paired with a matching hat and chic accessories, including a Simone Rocha bag. Award-winning interior designer Anouska Lancaster captivated onlookers in a vibrant seaside-themed dress by Rebecca Vallance, accentuated by a striking headpiece. Meanwhile, Valerie Stark opted for an ultra-chic ivory two-piece outfit, bringing a burst of color with a bright green leafy headpiece.
As Royal Ascot embraces innovation in fashion, the event continues to be a hallmark of style, setting the stage for future trends and inspiring countless attendees.
