As Royal Ascot draws to a close for another year, we look back on our favourite hats and fascinators from the last days of the event. Don’t forget to check out our favourites from days 1 and 2!
We love Carole Middleton’s triple brimmed, lace overlaid creation for her first Royal Procession at the races

This tea-party inspired hat is a great statement of British tradition, and looks good enough to eat!

The Queen looked sophisticated as always on Day 4 with a contrasting brim and crown colour combination, with chevron and hackle feathers and ostrich feather spines in complementing, soft shades.

Sophie Countess of Wessex wore a striking aubergine dress and jacket, topped off with an large, angular white disc. Curled goose feathers and burnt ostrich plumes in a shade to match her outfit were projecting from under the brim.

Princess Anne kept it elegant and chose a soft white, small brimmed hat with a simple bow and feathers.

From iPad fascinators to cartons of milk, this year’s Royal Ascot didn’t disappoint with the novelty hats. Nor did the style icons of the celebrity world let us down in the fashion stakes. Royal Ascot has always been about style and glamour and it is often said that the fashion is more noteworthy than the horses. 2011, it seems, is no exception.
If you are going to the races this year and need some inspiration on what to wear, check out our hat and fascinator galleries, our designer-picked outfits and advice on choosing the perfect hat for the races.
