Una Healy turns heads in elaborate headpiece paying tribute to Frankie Dettori

Una Healy turned heads in a Frankie Dettori-inspired hat ahead of Royal Ascot.

The Saturdays singer appeared to put her ‘throuple’ woes with David Haye and Sian Rose Osbourne behind her as she looked sensational in the stunning headpiece, which features a golden figurine of Frankie performing his signature flying dismount.

The hat, which was commissioned by bookmakers Ladbrokes, is a green and pink design, which pays tribute to his time as a jockey for racing company Juddmonte.

Una said of her historic headpiece: “Hats off to Ladbrokes and Ilda Di Vico for my beautiful headpiece.

“Frankie Dettori has given us some many amazing moments throughout his career and I really wanted to pay homage to him ahead of his last ever Royal Ascot and this gorgeous hat certainly does that. It’s a real crowd-pleaser.”

Couture milliner Ilda Di Vico created the masterpiece over several weeks by hand.

Speaking of her creation, she said: “Royal Ascot is about the racing and the hats and I really enjoyed the creative challenge set by Ladbrokes.

“Frankie Dettori’s glorious career was the perfect inspiration for this headpiece and I hope it’s a fitting tribute to a sporting great.”

The 52-year-old Italian, who is widely regarded as the most famous jockey in the world, has won the Ascot Gold Cup eight times.

But this year’s Royal Ascot will be the last for Dettori, who will retire at the Breeders’ Cup in Santa Anita, California.
