That caught me by surprise! We had a flurry!

The red is because for 2026 the Royal Ascot dress code includes the Royal Ascot Colour of the Year - Bright Tomato!. 🍅

Isabelle looked fabulous!

😂 they’d probably have looked nothing but striking in isolation. But ITV had grouped them all together and it was a bit redolent of Gilead.

Ah yes. Perhaps not the best image.

She does. Love the oversized lapels.

I really like Sophie's navy dress. I was not too fond of her necklace when she wore it at her wedding, but I think it works with the navy dress.

Edited

It was their 27th wedding anniversary hence the necklace I think

I must be getting old. Some of those shoes are making me imagine having sore feet and the fact that they are obviously new is making me think “ooh is it a good idea to wear brand new, stiff shoes all
day at Ascot” 🤔😆😆

😁😁 I had exactly the same thought. How uncomfortable for the whole day

I’m with you on the “Single colours ALWAYS look better than prints…..”

Loved William’s yellow freesia buttonhole he wore to match Kate’s not so nice bright yellow outfit.

Here's Max in defence of red!

I love Zara's Day 4 outfit. In my humble opinion she's had an excellent Royal Ascot!

I’ve really liked all of Zara’s looks at Ascot this year. She’s chosen really flattering dresses (for a change!) that fit well, and her hair and makeup has also been really pretty.

Love it! She's missing some bling, though...

I've loved all of Zara's Ascot looks as well, I agree, she's definitely had a good Ascot!

Zoe looks amazing.

Eaumyword · 19/06/2026 16:07

Bravo, Za! The dotty dress is lovely but the yellow dress is GORGEOUS!
Extra style points for a good hat and cool shades! Love yellow. In the right shade for individuals, it is so pretty. I thought Kate's brighter shade of yellow was divine on her.
Max looks fab in her caped crusader red dress.

Pallisers · 19/06/2026 16:17

I rarely like Zara's style but she has had a fabulous ascot - all her her outfits were lovely.

I found Isabelle's (snowden's partner) outfit lovely but wished she wore a different hat - the black and white was too matchy for me.

Some of the lower shoes in the shoe montage (thanks to all who posted all the links) were gorgeous. I think the higher shoes look almost old-fashioned now.

Beautiful new pictures to celebrate the Duchess of Gloucester’s 80th birthday. 🩷

If I didn't know better, I would've said she was 70 at the most!

Birgitte looks really lovely there, ageing so gracefully and with such style.

Those are lovely photos, Romaining. She looks amazing, and could easily pass for 10 years younger!

smilesy · 20/06/2026 08:14

Birgitte is such an elegant lady. She has amazing style and she sticks with it. Hope she has a wonderful birthday ❤️

deeahgwitch · 20/06/2026 09:01

Beautiful photos of Birgitte.
Her suit is lovely.
I’m not keen on the 3 necklaces, one would be enough - the pearls - but they probably have special meaning for her.

justasking111 · 20/06/2026 09:19

Layering necklaces is very on trend. Birgitte certainly keeps up.

There's a lovely montage of her on Instagram this morning. Her jewellery is amazing.

eggandonion · 20/06/2026 10:12

Im sure someone more knowledgeable told us here that the Gloucester jewels are extra fabulous . They have been very helpful over the past few years at various receptions...happy birthday!
Do the Kent and Gloucester titles get passed down?
