THE ROYAL ASCOT HAS ALL EYES WATCHING THE WONDERMENT OF HEADWEAR

The Royal Family arrives at the Ascot Races in England
 

The five-day event known as the Royal Ascot is known for its flash and dash and its illustrious headwear.

It is also one of the biggest events on the racing calender, where hats capture as much attention as the horses (there was even betting going on about the color of the Queen’s hat). The color yellow was given 4 to 1 odds by bookmakers.

The Royals arrived before the first race with the traditional parade in front of the main stand. Beatrice and Princess Anne made an appearance, while Duchess of Cornwall Camilla wore a Vivienne Westwood dress and jacket and a hat by milliner, Phillip Treacy.

The Queen wore a primrose yellow linen jacket with yellow and white floral print skirt (by Stuart Parvin) and a matching yellow hat by Rachel Trevor-Morgan.

The crowd of hat loving folks - and the horsey set - seemed to enjoy the lavish celebritory event.
