The 12 Best Looks from Royal Ascot 2026

With understated elegance and grace, Maura Higgins chose a white dress with short puff sleeves, a V-neck, and a full skirt. The look is completed by long white gloves and a wide-brimmed flat-brimmed hat—a silhouette worthy of the greatest fashion houses. The blue-and-white backdrop of the paddock serves as the perfect setting for this monochromatic outfit of absolute elegance.

Standing in the stands with the crowd in the background, Sian Gabari looks radiant in a long, powder-pink satin dress with shimmering highlights. The strapless design elegantly hugs her figure, while a small pink hat with a bow tops off the look. A black quilted crossbody bag provides the perfect contrast—a bold Parisian touch in the heart of England.

Leaning against the railing of the grandstand, Millie Mackintosh looks charming in a mint-green maxi dress with central ruching and wide straps. Her turquoise fascinator made of crinkled organza adds a touch of contemporary whimsy. Her natural complexion and radiant smile do the rest, creating a fresh, summery look perfectly suited for Ascot.

Striding confidently along the racetrack walkways, India Rawsthorn stands out in a long, sleeveless dress with a high neckline, entirely covered in silver sequins. A white hat with a wide, flat brim and a tiny silver clutch complete this look that’s both futuristic and glamorous. A look that catches the light—and everyone’s attention.

Daisy Knatchbull creates one of the most avant-garde looks of the season with an immaculate white pantsuit: a structured jacket with a high collar and a cutout at the chest, paired with wide-leg pants. The white bibi hat, adorned with a black polka-dot veil, adds a touch of originality that makes all the difference. A minimalist white bag completes this modern and bold look.

The duo cuts a flawless figure: Nicola Hart in a pink dress with tiered ruffles, a small pink Dior bag, and a flat-brimmed straw hat, alongside Jamie Carragher in a classic black tailcoat with a gray vest and a burgundy striped tie. A black top hat completes the look. Two distinct dress codes—romantic femininity and British formality—that complement each other perfectly.

Smiling in the middle of the lush green lawn, Holly Willoughby looks stunning in a structured white two-piece ensemble: a double-breasted jacket with three-quarter sleeves and a long pleated skirt. A white wide-brimmed hat and a white mini bag with a gold handle complete this bright and elegant look. Her bright red lipstick is the only touch of color—and that’s all it takes.

Perched on the terrace, Lydia Millen is a vision in pink: a high-necked dress adorned with an embossed rose on the shoulder, a flared skirt with a ruffle at the hem, and a large, flat, wide-brimmed pink hat. A matching powder-pink bag and white gloves complete this decidedly romantic and feminine ensemble, straight out of an English fairy tale.

Against a backdrop of the grandstand and the green field, Tolu Coker lights up the day in a pale yellow pleated, sleeveless dress with a high neckline. The golden yellow straw hat, adorned with a matching organza flower, harmoniously completes the ensemble. A structured yellow mini bag rounds out this sunny monochrome look, one of the most cheerful of this edition.

Photographed beneath the golden arcades of the hippodrome, Natalya Wright embodies classic elegance in an off-white two-piece ensemble: a textured cropped top with short sleeves and a wide, flowing skirt. A wide-brimmed boater hat and a small ivory Kelly bag complete this refined look with vintage accents, somewhere between Audrey Hepburn and contemporary haute couture.

You can’t miss her: this guest chose a striking head-to-toe cardinal red ensemble—a structured button-down jacket, wide-leg pants, and a small matching bag. The textured, sculpted, minimalist red hat boldly tops off the look. Against the green lawn at Ascot, this deep red stands out and emerges as one of the day’s most memorable looks.
