The week of June 18 will go down in history as a feast for royal fashion. First there was Princess Kate's meaningful Trooping the Colour appearance, in a repurposed white coronation dress by Jenny Packham that matched her daughter, Princess Charlotte. Then there was Princess Eugenie in a timeless little black dress on the international fashion awards circuit. Last but not least? Both Princess Eugenie and Zara Tindall appeared at the 2024 Royal Ascot on Tuesday, June 18, in outfits that subtly coordinated while sticking to the regal dress code.
For the uninitiated: The Royal Ascot is an annual five days of horse races hosted by Britain's reigning monarchs (in this case, King Charles III and Queen Camilla) at the Ascot Racecourse right outside of London. Around 300,000 spectators come to see the races and the associated fashion. Between daily royal processions into the races and the enormous swath of London society in attendance, there are usually a lot of excellent dresses and even more iconic hats to take in.
