Here are some photos from Royal Ascot Day 3, Ladies Day (Thursday). Wimbledon used to do a “Ladies Day” as well, but they’ve stopped calling it that out of sexism concerns. Personally, I don’t find a “Ladies Day” at any event to be particularly sexist – it’s not like those are the only days where women are welcome, it’s just a day set aside in particular to celebrate women. All of which to say, the royal women made a point of coming out for Ladies Day. The royals in attendance on Thursday: King Charles, Queen Camilla, Zara & Mike Tindall, Prince Edward & the Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Beatrice & Edo, Peter Phillips and Princess Anne.
I’m including an assortment of photos from Ladies Day. Surprisingly, the women made an effort to NOT look like the wrath of god. I even thought a few of the royal women looked really good. Zara Tindall was – gulp – my pick for best dressed of the day in her black-and-white Laura Green dress. Super-flattering, vintage-style yet classic. I also thought Beatrice looked rather stunning in her canary-yellow Monique Lhullier with a bold pattern. It’s always touch-and-go for redheads when it comes to pulling off yellow, but this is the right shade for Bea. Peter’s girlfriend Harriet Sperling also wore yellow, a more buttery shade. Harriet is getting a lot of attention for her style, which… okay, sure.
Duchess Sophie wore Suzannah London. I actually really like this print, although I think Sophie has issues with selected prints. Queen Camilla wore a blue/grey housedress with the Jardine Star brooch, one of QEII’s favorites. Cam looked like she was picking a wedge in some of these photos. As for Anne… bless her heart. She wore royal blue, with what looked like a dyed-to-match mosquito net on her head.

All badly dressed. Beatrice and the large floral design on dress
Agree. They are all interchangeable from the Women Over 60 Royalty Line. As lovely as Kate is, she always looks the same. Frankly, I prefer her in casual jeans and jackets to this look.
Zara definitely looks the best and that hat is great. Anne’s dress would look much better if someone ironed it. Sophie’s print is pretty but repeating it on the hat is too much
To Anne’s credit, she tends to re-wear her clothes. It looks so dated and something her mother or grandmother would have worn. So at least she made an effort with this one as there have been fashion shockers from her.
I don’t like yellow so I can’t comment on Peter’s girlfriend’s dress. It’s okay.
My favorite is Sophie’s. I like a good maxi dress but that one is just a tad too long for her. Otherwise, everyone is meh.
I agree that Sophie’s dress is lovely, but the hat is too much.
Zara’s hat is the only one that isn’t costume-y, which makes her look the most modern. I do like Bea’s dress, but maybe with less sleeve, and her hat looks like week-old moldy dinner rolls next to that crisp salad of a dress. As for Sophie … she doesn’t seem to understand proportion with her skirts, they’re often too long/wide for her frame.
Yes, I usually despise Zara’s hats but this is good.
I loved the woman in yellow, but I don’t think she is “royal?” After that Sophie, the rest looked just “meh.”
Time for the geriatric Royal women to be fitted for new undergarments especially bras..it ruins any dress they wear especially since they don’t have the best posture to begin with.
Cowmilla is way to old to not wear proper undergarments. Those tits were hanging down to her knees😒
i think Sophie has an issue with length. That same dress to maybe just below her knees would look a LOT better and not overwhelm her as much.
I like beatrice’s but I think the hat is a miss.
I do think Zara may be the best dressed. The hat works really well with the dress and for her.
Beatrice looked really good but yeah the hat didn’t seem to go with the bright yellow. And same, Zara’s black and white look is my favorite. Her hat was interesting with the black and white swirl.
Beatrice should have picked up on the blue for accessories, the BRF in general aren’t good at accessories
“i think Sophie has an issue with length”. Does she have kankles? I do so I tend to wear maxi dresses as much as possible to cover them.
I wouldn’t worry too much about them, Louisa. Your comment made me realize that I have never once in my life looked at a woman’s ankles for any reason. Checking for kankles has never crossed my mind.
Um? Best dressed? Is that a joke? Losers who look like losers. And are garbage and look like garbage.
I’m sure they have a competition on who’s best dressed on Ladies Day. The finalists would have worn more fashionable clothes.
The solid yellow dress is fine. The rest look like “Amazon finds under $30.”
A wedding for peter and Harriet possible soon
Peter needs to lose some weight. His paunch is showing.
Peter’s girlfriend looked very nice. New secret weapon alert??
What do tindall s do exactly.
Grift?!
Camilla needs a better bra. If she got properly fitted with a bra, she would look so much better.
She looks like she’s carrying an oat feed bag under that house coat. 🙄
Yes, for god’s sake, a decent bra would do wonders but she also cranes her neck under her hats like it’s too weak to hold them up. She’s got that whole “poor, pitiful me” thing going on – probably part of her unofficial couples contract with Charles, to act forlorn and dithering so he can feel decisive and embiggened. Yuck.
She’s got severe osteoporosis, hence the hunch.
It is my understanding that Camilla does not have osteoporosis. Rather, it was her mother who had a severe case of it.
None of them look fantastic, but I agree Zara’s dress is the best of a bad bunch. All could do with better fittings and length. From the photos above, the best dressed of all (if you include everyone) is Charles.
I was thinking the same thing about Charles. He often is the best among the group, especially with very formal wear like this, or his kilts when in Scotland, where he can choose a nifty waistcoat, tie, etc. His regular suits are less impressive. Something like this is a throwback to his younger years, when he was known as a snappy dresser. Interesting that neither Will nor Harry seem to care about fashion in the least, though Harry has upped his game in recent years.
Camilla just wears the same thing in different colors/patterns so I never include her when considering royal fashion.
I’m going to go with Sophie as her dress is the least worst. I do agree with the poster above, though that the hat is a bit too matchy. Beatrice’s dress is too tight but I’ll give her points for taking a risk. She looks like she’s done something to her face – her eyes? Maybe she’s just squinting.Camilla looks like a bath robe. Zara’s‘ inner ugliness prevents me from seeing anything nice about her. Peter’s girlfriend’s dress has too much material it would look quite nice I think without those hideous sleeves and Anne well there’s nothing really to say.
Peters girlfriend locely colour&dress, like Beatrice’s too.
Zara&Mike are just too vulgar to find anything about them classy.
Photos of Camilla very touched up.
Yes the touch up is very obvious. And I’m convinced that she had some filler placed in her lips. They definitely look fuller.
How about none? Zara might the best of a bad bunch. I just think these women are very old fashioned.
Zara’s is best of the bad only because it fits her well.
From these pictures I’d say Duchess Sophie looked the best.
I think Harriet looked lovely and took a great picture. Zara looked good too because for once she doesn’t look stuffed into her outfit. The white and blue dress seems to fit her nicely. I always feel hot when I see Ann- she just doesn’t seem dressed for summer- especially with the wintery stocking shade.
This is the only time of the year that I’ll click on an article at the DM site, to look at all Ascot fashion. Some of the outfits are really incredible, the hats can sculptural works of art and a few are funny and outrageous!
Just have to say, I’m soooo over midi-length dresses, this style really needs to end.
Someday Beatrice is going to learn to dress for the figure she has. I don’t know whose body she’s dressing for but it’s not hers.
That yellow is gorgeous, the print is gorgeous. The sleeves are not her favorite hideously unflattering puff, thank grace.
But the sleeves are too tight, and the high neckline looks strangling and totally ruins the dress. Add that hideous hat, which picks up the wrong color from the dress, and she looks like her head is perched on a dressmaker’s dummy. It just makes me sad.
The rest of them are just sadly blah and missing the mark in one way or another. I really don’t get it. They have enough money to never wear anything that isn’t bespoke and perfectly fitted, including foundation garments.
Why are they all so bad at this? Do they think it looks higher class if they’re frumpy? Do their staff just all hate them?
And could someone please tell QC Side Piece to STOP wearing all of QE2’s best-known jewelery? Get some style trademarks and personality of your own, woman! We know you have the keys to the vault, you don’t have to keep proving it by wearing Liz’s favorites every five minutes. It’s ghoulish.
Ok enough of this. I need some monarchy-destroying fruit spread.
For once I like Sophie’s and also Peter’s girlfriend’s dress although the hat is a bad match.
Nope. Dowdy, frumpy, shapeless, and unflattering. And most of them have posture problems. Slouching, slumping, clomping instead of walking…. Silk purse/sow’s ear; Lipstick/pig… At least they’re consistent.
I have a posture problem because of arthritis in my neck and shoulders. I feel embarrassed by it. Some of these people are old. Their posture is the least annoying thing about them.
In Camilla’s case, she has severe osteoporosis, that’s what’s causing her slouch.
Camilla does not have osteoporosis. Her mother did. Camilla has always just been a sloucher.
Meh to all of them. But yeah, Zara looks sharp and Sophie’s dress is kind of pretty. But they’re all such mean girls.
My main comment is how on earth they can bear to wear long sleeves and thick material – it was 33 degrees here yesterday afternoon.
I wonder what the collective net worth of everyone there is, and how much of it was unethically obtained by someone in those family lineages
They all look like anachronisms. Royalty of any kind belongs in the 20th century.
Can somebody PLEASE send every royal woman a link to A Bra That Fits on Reddit?!? Some of the best bras for fuller busted women come from UK companies. There’s no excuse for women with their financial resources to look like this. Sophie in particular has looked horrible of late – every recent outfit would have looked 1000% better on her with a properly fitting bra.
Wasn’t it very hot in England that day? Why do they look inappropriately dressed for the weather? Long sleeves, maxis, three piece suits? Why does Camila and Anne have gloves?
Wow I thought they all looked fine for the setting, except Anne. A few need better bras and better posture otherwise the litany of criticism I’ve just read is a bit much. Charles looks really good here
Sophie’s dress is at least a half-foot too long. Camilla looks sloppy, like her house dress needs ironing. Zara looks the best of the bunch. Anne is the wacky aunt, what can you say?
Peter Tindall always looks like he’s about to say “Gosh” as though it means something. It’s giving Bertie Wooster Goes To Ascot.
Beatrice has had work – she’s been looking less bug-eyed than usual.
Nobody wants to see Camilla‘s front VPL. And she has bruising in her eye sockets.
Umm…you don’t get work done to make your eyes smaller. She has Queen Victoria’s large eyes. She may have changed her eye makeup, looks like she’s used less eyeliner and a lighter eye shadow to me.
Bea’s makeup is especially nice.
Not on this list but my favorite of the day was Gabriella Windsor.
I love yellow but I can’t breathe looking at Beatrice. I find her dress too tight. Harriet and Sophie are fine.
None of the above.
I know some people on here don’t like to criticize Camilla’s fashion to much because of her age but for the handful of big events she does in a year she could at least try. Queen Silvia of Sweden is 80 and always look polished
Zara looks okay but nothing she is wearing is ground-breaking so just okay is a win, I guess. I think Anne does not look well. That mysterious concussion incident seems to have taken the wind out of her sails. She looks haggard, irritated and really stooped over.
That said, her look here is a hot mess and my pet peeve is the heavy-duty gloves. If you have to rock the gloves for whatever reason, and it isn’t the middle of winter, pick something light, fitted and elegant looking. Not winter driving gloves FFS!
Was not impressed with anyone’s attire. Very boring
I actually like Sophie’s dress. I don’t think I’ve ever said that.
I usually love Anne’s shop-her-own-closet vintage outfits, but this one doesn’t come close to her usually high standards. I hope she’s okay.
I love hats — and I think most of these are awful. I think Zara has the best whole outfit look, and Beatrice has the best dress. That said, all of them seem appropriately dressed for the event, but none of the outfits really Wow me.
I like Beatrice’s dress. This is one of the most flattering fits she’s ever worn. Perhaps because the waist sits above her natural waist? Vv good. Love the print, too.
Per usual, Mike Tinsdale looks like Mr Peanut.
Can anyone tell me why there are no photos at Royal Ascot of Rose Hanbury and her all-powerful aristocratic husband?
i have no idea if they even attended lol.
Rose seems to have disappeared from all social events. Not a photo, nothing missing
What’s with all the white or off-white shoes? A coordinating or contrasting color would be better. And sling-back heels on grass? Hard to walk.
Three fashion trends I can’t wait to see the back of: big puffy sleeves (makes anybody who’s not an A cup look like a linebacker), very high necklines (unflattering to the face if you’re wearing a bright color like yellow), and very long, full skirts (just too much fabric, dial it back).
And yes, I couldn’t believe the difference a bra fitting made in how clothing looked on me. I think many women tend to wear too-large bras because they think longer bands will be more comfortable (not necessarily true) and they don’t believe they could still be the same band they were years ago. The result: no support.
Camilla, in the photos, looks to have a bun in the oven. Maybe it’s a large flask?
I’m shocked, but I’m just going to say it. Charles looks quite dandy and dapper. Love his outfit.
