Just two days into Ascot and we have already been thoroughly spoiled with hats, shoes, dresses and works of art.

Dress code assistants were on hand with piles of pashminas and feathery fascinators to help cover up the modesty of those who had failed to adhere to this years strict dress code.

After much primping and preening, the racecourse was filled with debonair men in their top hats and elegant women in their tails, which were predominantly on or below the knee, of course.

Some of the more flamboyant race goers treated us to some fascinating sights of birdcage adorned heads and patriotically inspired attire, much to the amusement and the unabashed opinions of the world’s press.

In such a celebratory year for the country, several visitors made a nod in the direction of the time of the Queen’s coronation, with some 1950s inspired outfits.  Try your own 50s silhouette with the beautiful wiggle dress from studs and lace.
