I’ve waited all day for photos of today’s carriage procession to be released… no luck so far. If they become available, I’ll update this post! The only other noble head I spotted in a hat was Lady Alice Manners in a dramatic black straw wide brimmed bergère hat.
And finally, the following non-royal hats caught my eye at the races today:
Helen Mirren’s pink veiled straw perching pillbox with floral trim, the “Haze” design from Lock & Co.
British milliner Edwina Ibbotson in an aqua straw saucer with wrapping vine trim of her own design
Valerie Stark’s dramatic black Yves Saint Laurent upswept disc hat paired with a yellow dress
Felicity Kendal’s grey straw Jane Taylor hat trimmed in feathers & a net veil (see the back here)
Hermione Norris’ sleek cream Jane Taylor saucer with twisted bow detail
Shelby Tribble’s wide white straw upswept saucer by Sophie Hunter with lavish floral trim
Lizzie Hughes in Justine Bradley-Hill’s graphic black percher with birdcage veil and oversize flower trim
Lisa Gregg’s oversize blue saucer by Merve Bayindir with crin edge and delicate floral trim
Kelly Brook’s Philip Treacy percher hat with burgundy velvet base, silk flowers and birdcage veil
ITV’s Charlotte Hawkins in a cream straw Edwina Ibbotson design with mesh disk brim, bows and peach roses
Australian milliner Felicity Northeast in her own striking headpiece of concentric blue sinamay circles

And finally, PR excecutive Nazer Bullen, whose hats and ensembles have been absolutely stunning all week, with a wonderfully colourful and Rachel Trevor Morgan floral headpiece. This design just makes me happy.
And so we wrap up Royal Ascot for another year. Thank you to all the milliners whose work has thrilled us this week- your creativity, mastery and artistry leaves us royal hat admirers in awe.
