The 12 Best Looks from Royal Ascot 2026

Forget the runways of Milan and Paris—in June, Ascot is where fashion takes center stage. Between horse races, guests at the 2026 event outdid one another in elegance and boldness, proving once again that the British dress code is anything but boring. From pristine white to fiery red, satin pink to glittering silver, here’s our selection of the event’s most stunning looks.

Standing in the stands with the crowd in the background, Sian Gabari looks radiant in a long, powder-pink satin dress with shimmering highlights. The strapless design elegantly hugs her figure, while a small pink hat with a bow tops off the look. A black quilted crossbody bag provides the perfect contrast—a bold Parisian touch in the heart of England.

Leaning against the railing of the grandstand, Millie Mackintosh looks charming in a mint-green maxi dress with central ruching and wide straps. Her turquoise fascinator made of crinkled organza adds a touch of contemporary whimsy. Her natural complexion and radiant smile do the rest, creating a fresh, summery look perfectly suited for Ascot.

Daisy Knatchbull creates one of the most avant-garde looks of the season with an immaculate white pantsuit: a structured jacket with a high collar and a cutout at the chest, paired with wide-leg pants. The white bibi hat, adorned with a black polka-dot veil, adds a touch of originality that makes all the difference. A minimalist white bag completes this modern and bold look.

The duo cuts a flawless figure: Nicola Hart in a pink dress with tiered ruffles, a small pink Dior bag, and a flat-brimmed straw hat, alongside Jamie Carragher in a classic black tailcoat with a gray vest and a burgundy striped tie. A black top hat completes the look. Two distinct dress codes—romantic femininity and British formality—that complement each other perfectly.

Perched on the terrace, Lydia Millen is a vision in pink: a high-necked dress adorned with an embossed rose on the shoulder, a flared skirt with a ruffle at the hem, and a large, flat, wide-brimmed pink hat. A matching powder-pink bag and white gloves complete this decidedly romantic and feminine ensemble, straight out of an English fairy tale.

Against a backdrop of the grandstand and the green field, Tolu Coker lights up the day in a pale yellow pleated, sleeveless dress with a high neckline. The golden yellow straw hat, adorned with a matching organza flower, harmoniously completes the ensemble. A structured yellow mini bag rounds out this sunny monochrome look, one of the most cheerful of this edition.
