The gold-tinged hat and accessories make an unexpected pairing with the green patterned dress but one that works well. The hat is also great colour and scale on Beatrice.

Ascot 2024 Day 4: The King And Queen

King Charles and Queen Camilla led today’s royal carriage parade again, the king in his black silk top hat (and another pastel waistcoat!).

Queen Camilla wore another new wide brimmed hat, this one in palest seafoam green. This design is all about ostrich feathers, which completely encircle the hat’s crown, filling the full width of the brim.

The hat’s inherant drama is slightly tempered by it’s soft colour, which Camilla wears so well. The pairing of voluminous, textural hat and sleek dress and coat also are a fine match.

Ascot 2024 Day 3: Snowdon & Chattos

The Earl of Snowdon, Daniel Chatto and Lady Sarah Chatto were all included in today’s carriage procession. The Earl repeated a black top hat.

Daniel also repeated a black top hat. Sarah wore a new hat in vibrant blue with a wide floppy brim made of sewn polyester braid. It feels too casual for the races and I wish she’d repeated this one, worn with this same dress, instead.
