Oh wow . Zara looks fantastic.

ElegantDressing · 16/06/2026 16:16

I love Zara's hat! I agree so much better than the headband type. I like Anne's too although not seen a photo of her full outfit yet.

Sidebeforeself · 16/06/2026 16:19

Harriet’s outfit is super too and I love the fact she’s clutching what appears to be an ice cold glass of champers!

Love the embroidery on the Queen's outfit.

Haven't seen a full length photo of Princess Anne but the colours are impressive.

Zara’s outfit is lovely. V neck is very flattering on her. Love the hat!

I never thought I'd say this.... but I really liked Anne's outfit. Really different and the hat is stylish. I don't know if it's a dress or a jacket, but it's really nice.

The new Mrs Peter Philips appears to be sponsored by Pragnell as that is who provided her earrings and bracelet according to the Daily Mail. She does look lovely though and there is a photo of Harriet and Peter cheers-ing and he looks totally smitten.

Choux · 16/06/2026 17:19

The smitten photo

Thanks - the design won't be to everyone's taste, but it's different, I like the colours and I love the hat.

I think Anne’s jacket is Shibumi, she has a few coats from there.Dont they all have nice lives? No money worries, no real work and attending pleasurable occasions without having to use annual leave!

I like it, the hat in particular. Perhaps she had an oh-dear moment when she saw the wedding pictures?

Well given that most of them own or breed horses - I suspect that Ascot is a bit like a posh sales conference to drum up business.

bluegreygreen · 16/06/2026 17:35

Good guess @MrsFaustus - I think it may be this, though they also seem to do a similar long jacket

Za looks GORGEOUS! That's a lovely outfit - beautiful colour, style and fit.
Harriet and Cams look fantastic too.
Not as keen on Anne's outfit personally.

Yeah, this thread is about the fashion and our preference is to avoid controversy, thanks 🙏

I like the colour of Harriet's outfit and again - a good hat! We're having quite a good millinery season, imo!

In that picture of Harriet and Zara stood close together - they remind me of sugared almonds. In a good way!

I think Cams outfit is very pretty too but the shoes spoil it slightly.

Zara looked gorgeous. Harriet did too, but I’m marking her down for agreeing to the utterly anachronistic ‘Mrs Peter Phillips’ on her name badge.

I am guessing none of them can individually force the name badge convention to change but it would be nice to think Ascot itself would decide it’s somewhat outdated.

I am just wondering who in the future might have a wife known as Princess Michael or similar. If Lilibet has been a boy then his wife would have been Princess male name. But I think there is no one who will have that title in the next generation?

TimorousOrBold · 16/06/2026 19:37

But Zara had ‘Zara’ on her badge, so I assume there’s a choice?

smilesy · 16/06/2026 20:36

Zara, Camilla and Anne in fab hats! Love that colour on Zara 😍

Desperate to demonstrate her new status.
