@Sooner I am with you, I love seeing the various hats. It makes me smile.

 

I still love the old movies where the very dashing man is wearing a hat and the woman is dressed to the nines!

 

I remember when I was a kid always having an Easter outfit that included a new dress and a hat to wear for church.

 

I still wear hats - including some that others would consider outrageous looking but what the heck, IMO you have to have a bit of confidence to carry it off.

@Bri369 ha you have to have something (usually a lot of hair) to keep those hats on your head!

 

Many years ago, it would have been a big old hat pin.

@lmt well I like the style of Princess Anne's hat but IMO the color should have been different to go with the dark green of her dress.

Ladies Day at Royal Ascot

 

 

Zara Tindall

 

 

Zara Tindall was also in attendance at Ladies Day today, accompanied by her close pals Dolly Maude and Chanelle McCoy

 

 

 

Zara's on-trend floral dress featured a frill across the bottom of the skirt, and she teamed it with a pair of pale pink suede block heels and a dusky pink clutch bag

 

 

 

Mother-of-three Zara, 40, donned a chic floral number with an eye-catching pink fascinator and neutral make-up, with a pale pink lip to match her headwear
