Ascot guests impress in jaw-dropping dresses for Autumn Racing Saturday
RACEGOERS have made their arrival at Ascot known with their stylish dresses and fascinators.
From skyscraper heels to fancy hats, revellers didn’t let the unpredictable weather from putting on their best fashion foot forward as they made their way into the Ascot racecourse entrance.
Despite going into the colder months, many dressed up in their best summer pieces.
In one picture, a group of women could be seen in floral outfits and bright pastel colours, too.
One donned a pale yellow sundress, while her pal had a blue, turquoise and white gown on for the race.
Another decided on a svelte black, skin-tight number, while a fourth wore a understated green dress and another had a pink floor-length dress on.
Meanwhile, one woman decided to mix summer and autumn together into one as she wore a half floral, half leopard print wrap dress for the occasion.
Though many were dressed up, some decided not to go all out for the race as one woman wore a simple checked mini skirt with a black top, which she paired with a leather jacket and matching knee-high boots.
It appears the stand-out colour of the Autumn Saturday Racing was red though as several women came dressed in different shades of crimson.
One woman posed on green turf as she posed in her red dress, which featured layers of ruffles, a plunging neckline and mid-length sleeves.
She paired this with a matching fascinator that she placed on her blonde mane.
Another chose a slightly muted shade of the colour to wear on the warm day.
The off-the-shoulder piece came down to her ankles as she posed from the side.
Wearing a matching fascinator, she donned gold accessories, including block heels and a purse.
A third woman opted for a buttoned-up dress with a V-neck, which she paired with a white fascinator alongside a matching bag and heels.
Others wore a range of navy blues, oranges and greens to the event.
The Autumn Racing Weekend & Beer Festival takes place each year and is the penultimate meeting of Ascot’s Flat season.
The description on the website states: “There’ll be hops and skips for sure but no jumps as this is the penultimate meeting of Ascot’s Flat season, join us for guaranteed action and thrilling racing at this beer and racing event.
“Beer tastes best outdoors watching premium sport with friends and family and Ascot delivers this with pride.
