A bit sad to see that Declan Donnelly's girlfriend, Sky Sports presenter Georgie Thompson and the lovely and usually extremely stylish Louise Redknapp, thought that they had received an invitation to a Funeral rather than a day at the Races! Georgie completes her look with what can only be described as a black doily on top of her head, whilst Louise does "Spanish widow chic" in a black lace number complete with Peplum, when her husband is alive and kicking, standing right next to her. Her headpiece looks like a cross between a black flying saucer and an assassinated Crow with a few funeral flowers thrown in for good measure! Come on ladies, bring a bit more colour to the event next time, it is supposed to be summer you know!
Amanda Holden tests out the new aerial for a soon to be released turquoise Telly Tubby.
This lady looks more like an extra from the set of Cranford in that dress - I don't know what Miss Matty would make of that Hat though! I hope she didn't have to be sedated before she left the Nursing Home.
Enough of the bitching I hear you say, I know it doesn't become me, but sometimes I just can't help it, so now for some looks that I love, not celebs, just normal stylish ladies showing us how Ascot should be done!
I haven't found any pictures of our darling fortynotout, I hope she hasn't been arrested for taking someones eye out with her fascinator!
LOL Great post .. I have to admit last time I went to the races I wore black.. but without the Doily. It was in the days before I liked colour again xx
ReplyDeletei love seeing photos from the ascot! their hats are so creative! some are not really the best choice, but some are great!

I love that orange fascinator, it suits her complexion perfectly. Great pictures. Helena xx
ReplyDeleteOh My ....what were they thinking?? and that poor lady with the pink - whatever hat- surely she is not aware of what was put on her head - Is she.. ?? Great pics... Thanks for making me feel a bit better about some of my hat choices - after seeing this. Happy Sunday... HHL

Christ on a bike, that old granny is seriously channelling her inner Lady GaGa, isn't she? Too funny! And as for Amanda Holden's headgear, words fail me ....
ReplyDeleteooooh damnation! I thought I posted to this earlier today - there must have been an issue with my word verification. Am I the only person who gets into a sweat trying to replicate the letters in the correct order?!
ReplyDeleteWhat did I say this morning?.....that I liked the two ladies hats (non sleb) and that you should scour the intertubes to get pix of fortynotout.
*fingers crossed that this posts ok!*

Ha I love Ascot Ladies day, great hats, even the not so great ones make me laugh. I am going to a ladies day later in the summer, can't make up my mind what hat to wear though.
ReplyDeletemade me laugh out loud! and it does look like an assass... an asass...a dead crow! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove your round-up. Although I like the colour of Amanda Holden's dress - much better than the funereal black!
ReplyDeleteHaha, that pink one is definitely outrageous!
ReplyDeleteTee Hee! I was there.. at the bar stocking up on champagne! Bloody feet are still hurting now from the high heel abuse! T'was a fab day and no eye's lost due to fascinator injury. Still waiting for my Brother in Law to send over the pics that he took before we left. I took my camera and didnt take any! (Very Bad Blogger!) xxx
