The best-dressed guests at Cheltenham Festival 2026

The Cheltenham Festival 2026 has begun, and the country style set are stepping out in their equestrian-inspired best for the four-day event.

There’s a lot to love about Cheltenham style — it’s less formal than Royal Ascot and has no strict dress code, so there’s plenty of space for sartorial flair. Zara Tindall is its unofficial poster girl, but other royal family members also make appearances, including Queen Camilla, Princess Anne and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie (who might well be more inclined to attend this year, given that they have reportedly been barred from Ascot’s Royal Enclosure). Showbiz folk including Geri Halliwell and reality stars like Georgia Toffolo are also regulars.
