I love Zara's hair in that photo. She looks really nice. Has she borrowed Kate's hairdresser for today?!

Argh I did some Ascot screenshots but the app or my iPad (not sure which won't let me attach them. Anyway there is a closer picture of Camilla, the stripes seem to be like voile, quite floaty and would've probably been lovely on a less structured shape of dress. Ann is in sapphire blue and it really suits her. Also Zara looks fab, lots of floaty lightweight layers. Agree Sophie's dress is too long but can we just have a big Hurrah for the hats. Love them! Tiaras next please🤞🏻

I love Leti's shoes.
I've got a couple of pairs of skyscraper heels in my wardrobe & having a platform sole certainly makes them comfy/comfier however I wouldn't want to be wearing them all day.

Some more Ascot photos from today.

Those are better looks for Sophie and Camilla today. Anne's dress is a bit 80s but that's probably because she's had it since then! Wonder if Kate will make an appearance at Ascot this year?

Thank you, @MotherofPearl and @TracyBeakerSoYeah!! Love a bit of Ascot fashion. As ever, Sophie's hats are great, but I agree about the first dress that drowns her a bit. Gorgeous colour and fabric, though. I don't mind Camilla's stripey effort, top marks for a matching mask! Anne's dress is nice, although I agree that she's probably had it since 1987! Bless her. Second year in a row HM has had to miss it, which is a shame because she loves it and the telly box isn't the same.
I love Leti's dress, so chic and stylish. The shoes...just no.

Thanks for the photo's! I think Camilla looks great, Sophie not her usual chic sleek look and Leti's dress is gorgeous. Not keen on Anne's green dress, but love her functional rewears!
Zara's hair is stunning pulled into a chignon. Beautiful blonde shades.

MotherofPearl · 16/06/2021 18:14

Sophie’s hat there is shades of My Fair Lady!

I really like Zara's dress from the first day, it's Me+Em.

Closer photo of Camilla’s pyjama fabric here - looks nice close up.

Also found a full length of Zara. She looks very well considering how recently she had their baby, her skin is glowing.

Zara looks great, the hat's gorgeous. I really want her dress! Edward is looking very dapper. He always reminds me of George VI.

Zara’s hair looks fantastic in that updo.

TriSarahTops · 16/06/2021 19:46

I think Camilla’s stripy number might actually be a coat rather than a dress. Although given how hot it has been that seems crazy!

TriSarahTops · 16/06/2021 19:57

Leti seems to be out and about a lot this week. She’s joined in with the face-mask blue Shock

Ooh I love that Leti dress! She is so stylish.

Chewbecca · 16/06/2021 20:09

I just realised my comment about Zara could be read very differently to how I meant it. She looks fab full stop, and especially incredible considering she’s not long had a baby.

AdaColeman · 16/06/2021 20:18

I thought Sophie looked awful yesterday, dress was completely wrong in colour, length and fit, and I think she had her hat on upside down! But she looked a bit more stylish and put together today and I liked her colour combo.

Zara wins on the best hat stakes with those fab roses! Not keen on the rest of her outfit, but she has a "get a free throw" card due to giving birth so recently.

I like Anne's green dress, beautiful fabric and fits her like a glove. Extra marks for sensible shoes.

I like Anne's shoes as well! Grin
Leti is very stylish, that's a lovely blue and really suits her.

That dress on Leti is like a cool and refreshing glass of water on a hot day. Reminds me of one Kate wore to Wimbledon a couple of years ago.

hopeishere · 16/06/2021 21:15

Sophie looked amazing today. I love that outfit.

LadyEloise · 16/06/2021 21:33

The blue dress on Leti is beautiful.
Camilla looks great in the cream.
Mike Tyndall is really "punching above" with Zara.
The beard suits him. Has he lost weight ?

KillingMeDeftly · 17/06/2021 17:34

I'm not sure Anne's hat goes with her dress. It looks like she was in a hurry and just grabbed the first one she could find.

And who might that be next to her?? 👀😆

MotherofPearl · 17/06/2021 17:45

Ha! I noticed that too @KillingMeDeftly! They always seem to attend Ascot together, I've noticed. I wonder if it's awkward when they see Chas and Cams?!

A few years back, Anne was spotted in the BHS in Oxford Street trying on hats - maybe it's one of those?! It looks nice, though I do agree about the outfit. Mmm, look who she bumped into in the Pimm's queue.....Hmm

KillingMeDeftly · 17/06/2021 17:52

@MotherofPearl Perhaps not half as awkward as it would be if she bumped into her husband!!

I think APB and Camilla have always been on excellent terms. He attended her wedding to Charles but I can't remember if that was before or after his second wife sadly died.

gingercat02 · 17/06/2021 17:56

I've always wondered if Anne and APB have had a similar relationship to Charles and Camilla. Wouldn't surprise me. There were always rumours about Mark Phillips extra curricular activities and a theory that Anne and Tim are platonic.
I'm glad of my boring married (and faithful) to one man life if any of that's true
