Ascot Racecourse is a British racecourse, located in Bracknell, England, used for thoroughbred horse racing.
It is one of the leading racecourses in the United Kingdom, hosting nine of Britain's 32 annual Group 1 horse races.
The course, owned by Ascot Racecourse Ltd, enjoys close associations with the British Royal Family, being approximately six miles from Windsor Castle
The Royal Ascot is the centrepiece of Ascot's year and dates back to 1711 when it was founded by Queen Anne. Every year Royal Ascot is attended by Elizabeth II and other members of the British Royal Family such as The Prince of Wales, arriving each day in a horse-drawn carriage with the Royal procession taking place at the start of each race day and the raising of the Queen's Royal Standard.
The Royal Enclosure is the most prestigious of the three enclosures, with recent visits from the Queen and Royal Family members. Access to the Royal Enclosure is restricted, with high security on the day.
Royal Ascot is synonymous with sartorial elegance. This is upheld by the special dress code, which invites guests to contribute to an occasion heralded as a major fashion event in its own right.
What you wear to Royal Ascot is as important as what you win at this world-famous race meet. This key social event in the British sporting calendar is not only a show-ground for some of the most brilliant racehorses in the world but also a fashion parade for racegoers.
Royal Ascot demands race dresses and dressy day-wear – whatever type of ticket you may have purchased be warned that dress codes must be strictly adhered to. The racecourse does have a right to refuse entry if people are not suitably attired.
So – what should you wear? As usual, for men, it's easy. A smart suit and tie is the norm but top hat and tails ( black or grey morning dress) is required if you’re in the Royal Enclosure.
For ladies – it's a whole different matter. For guests entering the Royal Enclosure – there’s rules as to how much flesh is exposed. Not a bad thing as the flat landscape of Ascot often allows a chilly wind to whip up across the course.
Bear in mind that dresses that are off-the-shoulder, halter-neck or have spaghetti straps or straps thinner than one inch are not considered suitable. Miniskirts are also frowned on as is exposing your midriff! Shorts are a definite no-no.
The answer is a formal outfit – dress and bolero jacket ideally. It is advisable to go to a special occasion boutique to find such outfits. If you buy from the high street, you run the risk of seeing lots of other women in the same dress as you. Nightmare!
If you're not in the Royal Enclosure, dress codes still apply. Smart day-wear is a must for Premier admission ticket holders and the advice for Grandstand is to "dress in a manner that befits a formal occasion"and don a hat or fascinator at all times. Overseas visitors are welcome to wear the formal national dress of their country or service dress but fancy dress is not allowed during Royal Ascot week. And finally, don't forget – a big handbag to take home all your winnings!
It was a really coincidence that day as We both Queen and I have decided to wear outfits in similar tone colours-fuchsia .
The day which I have picked for races was warm and sunny. I was wearing beautiful Ted Baker Tarren Wispy Meadow Print floral dress with fuchsia blazer from Benetton and matching Russell and Bromley wedges sandals and Monsoon head fascinator with light pink leather chain clutch from Yves Saint Lauren.
Ted Baker London's love of fresh yet nostalgic floral prints characterises this architecturally seamed V-neck dress belted at the finely pleated skirt.

The ascot is like a big fashion show and parade when women trying to compete which each other to better stand out from the crowd and it is possible to see many different types of dresses and head decorations, some of them really extravagant and different but some of them are more standard, simple, pure and classic elegance. Usually dominate pastels light summery colours but sometimes we can see black dresses with some contrasting colouring accents.
