Royal Ascot Ladies Day 2010 will be on 17th June, 2010

The Ascot Gold Cup

Ladies Day is organized around the running of the Ascot Gold Cup, the oldest Group One race at the Royal meeting, and the biggest English flat race outside of the Classics. The race attracts widespread media attention and gives Ladies Day an authentic foundation of top quality thoroughbred racing.

Dress Code

Fashion is an important part of Ladies Day, with many race goers attending the third day of Royal Ascot meeting in formal dress. Men are encouraged to wear morning dress with top hats, whilst women are expected to dress conservatively in dress suits or summer dresses.

The conservative dress code is counterbalanced by the massive array of ladies’ hats to be found at the royal Ascot meeting. Hats range from the spectacular to the bizarre, with many female race goers attempting to outdo each other in what is sometimes described as the Oscar of hats.

The Royal Procession

One of the oldest traditions at the Royal Ascot meeting is the Royal procession on Ladies Day. Before the start of the third day of racing the Royal family are put on display in a horse drawn carriage, as they travel down the one mile course adjacent to the grandstand.
