Horse racing: Eccentric hats: British women celebrate in Ascot

Even more spectacular than the visit of the royal couple are the traditional headgear at the horse races in Ascot, England. An overview of exceptional examples.

The traditional horse race will be celebrated again in Ascot, England, in the coming days. King Charles III (75) and his wife Queen Camilla (76) visited the race track on Tuesday for the opening event. There is a particularly strict dress code depending on the area at the event, which lasts several days.

The headgear that women wear is often striking. On Tuesday, hats and other headgear were seen that resembled oversized candy, were decorated with large feathers or looked like oversized flowers.

The dress code is strictest in the so-called “Royal Enclosure”. Men must wear a top hat and women must wear a hat. Dresses must not be off the shoulder and, like skirts, must reach at least above the knee. The famous horse race lasts until Saturday.
