Ascot 2023 Day 2: The Duke & Duchess of Edinburgh

The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh made their Ascot debut this year on the second day of racing, the Duchess in an ivory picture hat with sidesweeping brim. The brim has a dusky pink bias brim extension and is trimmed with an ivory bow.

The two toned brim is really pretty and showed up in person with more contrast than many of these photos suggest. That being said, I think I’d have preferred this in a slightly more saturated colour for Sophie.

Designer: Decima design by Jane Taylor. Suzannah London dress. 
Previously Worn: This hat is new

The Duke repeated his gleaming black antique silk top hat. As far as British royal men’s top hats go, this one is ahead of the pack!

  1. I love this hat on Sophie; the angle, shape, everything just flatters her so well! I do wish her outfit had more color, even though the all-white dress does allow the hat with it’s subdued color scheme to shine more.

  2. The Duchess looks beautiful! These colors suit her very well. I’m impressed by the Duke of Edinburgh, as well. He looks great!

  3. Am with you Ladies. She looks sensational. Its a beautiful hat, and a great combo with the subtle graduated colours. One of my favourite outfits on Duchess Sophie of all time

  4. I love this hat for The Duchess of Edinburgh on Day 2. The colour graduation is so pretty. The white of her beautiful dress letting the hat sing. A gorgeous handbag too.
