Fabulous Hats at Royal Ascot 2013

You know why do we love the British? Because that instantly spells in to eccentricity. Brits - check; royals - check; McQueen and Guiness - check; crazy fucking glorious hats - check! Royal Ascot, the yearly five-day horse racing event at the sleepy town of Ascot has Royals and folks rubbing shoulders and literally making a dash on the 'outdo each other's hat' lane'. What about the horses and races you ask? -- Let's just say, they totally get overshadowed with the customary dress code plumages.

Yeah, this is what I am talking about!
First up for your viewing pleasure is the royal family. The Queen and the Duchess kept things simple on day one (shown below) choosing blush and ivory tones, delicately-done medium-sized hats and pretty cameo pearls. I am not sure if the duo decided to play dress-to-match since if you look at the day two picture, their outfits again look similar but the Queen wins here one up for that funky feather hat.

Day three was history in the making as the Queen is now the first ever reigning monarch to win the Gold Cup at Ascot in 207 years. Her 4-year-old filly called 'Estimate' created the record at the Ladies Day in Ascot.

Okay can I take a slight detour from the royals to show you Mrs Rai Bachchan? How fabulous does she look!  And so thin... very stunning indeed.

Okay now, deemed the most stylish ladies of the royal family, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie donned wispy and gorgeous Red Valentino hats on day one. Check out the very stylish striped ensems.
