與其說看皇家馬駒競賽不如說是看社交名流的優雅時裝展。Royal Ascot每年六月在伯克郡的Ascot舉行，是自18世紀初以來英國皇室一直參加的活動。今年出席的除了英女王外，更請來歐洲皇室荷蘭國王及皇后共襄盛舉。Royal Ascot已開放民眾入場，一般民眾可藉機一窺其社交生活；亦可在此近距離觀賞到伊麗莎白女王二世率領王室成員，搭乘馬車繞場巡禮；結束五日賽事後主要王室成員亦會為當屆冠軍頒發獎杯。

36頁Dress Code解析
據悉對於這場正式的皇家、社會名流聚會，賽馬會舉辦方對英女王最喜愛的年度活動的緊張程度自然不在話下，於是官方便發佈了36頁的服裝要求，更配有精細的圖示解說。對於不同身分地位的賓客，亦有不同的要求，若然想穿得更有創意前，要想想是否願意為了它冒上被降級的風險。
The Royal Enclosure
根據名稱就知道這是最為嚴格的一份：所有女士必須穿著正式的日裝，裙裝不可高於膝，若選擇褲裝便需要長於腳踝的部位。裙裝及上衣必須含有超過1英尺的肩帶，帽飾需直徑大於10釐米。
Queen Anne Enclosure
相比The Royal Enclosure，在這份指南裡只需要符合「合適於正式場合」：包括所有帽飾和頭飾必須全程配戴，無肩帶或透視的服裝則絕不允許。
Village Enclosure
這是Queen Anne Enclosure的戶外版本，在這裏更小直徑的帽子和船踭鞋更受推薦。
Windsor Enclosure
屬於這一份要求所限的賓客仍不可忘記有和皇室接觸的機會，因此任何浮誇、新奇、或含宣傳品牌成分的服裝都是不允許的。
當然對於如何拿捏遵守規條，每人都有自己的尺度。身穿Elie Saab粉藍色長裙的凱特王妃成為了全場焦點，更與英女王同色系的套裝相得益彰。荷蘭皇后Queen Maxima亦盛裝出席，花卉頭飾最為搶眼。有黛安娜王妃絕美姪女之稱的Lady Kitty Spencer選擇了Dolce＆Gabbana連衣裙搭配一件簡單而又別緻的Philip Treacy帽子，有如一道風景。

帽飾精選
雖然英女王直徑近10釐米的帽子也是在規則範圍內，許多人在帽飾上面的選擇就更為靈活變通。每年Royal Ascot的第三日稱為“Ladies’ Day”，更是女士們能發揮自己時裝見解的大好時機。除了凱特王妃將繼續做出規則內的優雅示範，或許大家最期待的還是剛剛誕下阿奇的梅根Meghan Markle將以什麼裝扮出席？
