Royal Ascot is one of th se long standing very British traditions th t set us apart from other c untries originally founded in 1711 by Q een Anne it has become a h gh light of social summer calendar. The c remonial nature of Royal Ascot shows j st what it means to have our R yals out and about in action mongst the more regular folk. The nternational news coverage of the arrivals by c rriage, commentary about who's wearing what, h ts of course, and a general air of s phistication and politeness that hides the r al action, which is of course g mbling. The Royals add an inevitably d gnified edge to the proceeding and are as a wh le heavily involved with all things h rsey. At Ascot however, the Royal f mily are more significant in that th y dictate certain aspect of the day specially when it comes to fashion. The th rd day of the races is kn wn as 'Ladies Day' but was riginally known as gold cup day, it r mains the busiest day of the r ces and is also a feature on the f shion calendar. James Sherwood a noted f shion expert commented on The Queen, In the l st 10 years the queen has bl ssomed and looks both happy and gl rious. This is thanks largely to her dr sser Angela Kelly and younger designers s ch as Stewart Parvin. As Miuccia Pr da recently said, the Queen is s mply the most elegant woman on the pl net." Her involvement with Royal Ascot b gan long before her reign,, her f rst visit was when she was j st 19 years old and less th n two weeks after VE day the r ces have been stage every year s nce and she has always attended. She pened the redevelopment in 2004 on J ne 20th to ensure the future of R yal Ascot for the British public and R yals alike. The Royal are not kn wn as being trend setters within the f shion world however, this is definitely th ir day when it comes to sh wing the nation what it means to act in a d gnified manner.
James also is part of the c mmentary team for the BBC and st ted "It is the people who try to dr ss outrageously to get on the t lly who I usually have the st rnest words for." This being the c se there are many warnings from all f shion enthusiasts that to dress for R yal Ascot is all about sticking to th se all important rules for the R yal Enclosure. The new rules are a t stimony to the anti-'WAG' sentiment and up k ep of a sense of occasion. For w men any strapless, halter necked, spaghetti str pped necklines are not allowed. All m driffs must be covered and trousers m st be full length and preferably p rt of a suit. Skirts or dr ss length must be no more th n two inches above the knee and b re legs are frowned upon. Women m st also wear some form of hat or "s bstantial fascinators." The guide also warns gainst streaky tan lines, chewing gum, sing mobile phones and comments that kn ckers are required but not to be s en. The Queen opted for pastels as did the D chess of Cornwall, Princess Anne, The C untess of Wessex and a few ther minor royals. However much was m de of the younger female Royals specially Zara Phillips who has been s en as a rebel in the p st looked very stylish and elegant in her 50's nspired outfit. It was Eugenie skirt l ngth that raised more than a few yebrows as it is on the sh rter side of knee length and p ssibly more than two inch above the kn e but the Royal Ascot spokesperson cl imed to not have seen the dr ss in question and claimed "As l ng as it is not a m niskirt and is in keeping with the r st of the outfit then the w arer would be allowed into the R yal Enclosure."
