The Royal Ascot, which takes place since 1711 and sees the presence of almost the whole royal family, is not only the most important horseracing event in the world but a true spectacular and colorful carnival.

Original and eye-catching hats on top of ladies’ heads are a must; [snip]

The Royal Ascot was confirmed once again, in its three-hundredth anniversary, a chance for British high society to meet, among tradition, folklore and style in an idyllic setting.

Meanwhile her sister, Princess Eugenie, opted for a brilliant pairing of a vibrant, jade lace dress by Issa, with a cream cropped jacket.​

Princess Beatrice is actually really pretty. At least I think so.

Ooohh... I love Princess Beatrice's look. So understated and chic compared to everyone else which makes her standout. While crazy fancy hats can be fun to wear sometimes wearing something simple is the best way to be noticed as Princess Beatrice shows.

From telegraph.co.uk:

Hat maker Tracy Rose stands out in one of her outlandish creations, which it seems she was actually the inspiration for: note 'the claw' - a heavily manicured hand which looks like a carbon copy of her arm.​

Welsh mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins cuts a stylish figure in this Philip Treacy hat and Azzedine Alaïa dress.​

Milliner David Shilling sports the remains of a party on his top hat...​

This fine filly isn't just wearing any old hat - this creation by renowned milliner Stephen Jones is worth in the region of a fabulous £8000.​

So you get kicked out for wearing your skirt too short but not for wearing an iPad on your head?
