I don't really care for Zara's outfit, the hat looks far too lop-sided and I think she wore the wrong style of sunglasses with that outfit. And Good Lord, all the other women!  :blink:

The group pic of rainbow coloured ladies  :lmao:

she looked like one of her mares in that outfit. Way too top heavy, and the hemline shape led to a bottom heavy. Hat would have been cute with out the aviator sunglasses. I bet it was a pretty blouse, but OMG.... carried off poorly.

I think the royal hats where done by the same designer, check out Eugenes hat - very similar to Zara's.

The DM has a good picture of Bea's and Eugenie's outfits....not crazy about Bea's hat either but I like that color blue on Eugenie.

I dont actually think I have seen Zara wear an outfit I actually like.

[Lila the Flirt]

Oh my!

Meanwhile, HM has on a lovely outfit :Royal:

[PopppyDaisy]

From the top it doesn't look too bad, but on full view the hemline is waaaay to high, like other have said too much going on up top and the hat is okish but Eugenies is nicer and brighter.

[alsgal]

yes Eugenie's is cute, love the colour

[lurker]

I just love the hats. They are supposed to be over the top. The higher, the better.  :P Zara looks plumb in her outfit but at least she has her own style and stays true to it.  :shrug:

Way too tight up top Zara...Have the workouts have increased your bosom or is that dress 2 sizes too small. Normally, I like her outfits, but this one best saved for bosom-less  Kate to pull off.

[serene grace]

awful, awful,awful hats. I think Eugenie's dress is very nice, I like it.
Sophie needed maybe a bit of color in her outfit and throw away the wheat flowing or was it feathers on her hat.
What is with the outrageous hats, I don't get it.
I loved the hats Diana and Sarah wore years ago.

Those are some very interesting hats :huh?:

[Rasta Watermelon]

I like Zara she seems like she is on cloud nine about something. Maybe Mike proposed to her before he left for New Zealand. :huglove: :ww:   

[mici]

What did Zara think when she dressed up like that??? THis outfit didn't suit her bodyshape at all! She looks ridiculous and fat. But I like her hat! :D

[wannable]

:( that's why perhaps she didn't show up today, nor Bea or Eugene, the DM comment section - all comments where very critical in the outfits worn by these three girls.   

The entire family should support HM in the Royal Ascot, it's her event.  But they perhaps scheduled the dates for the family participation until Saturday.  2 day, only have seen pics of HM/PP, PC/C and Sophie.

[PopppyDaisy]

I heard Bea, Eugenie and I think Zara are coming on Friday.

[fawbert]

Her hat is super.

Yes. Their hats are by Philip Treacy

Yikes, Zara's breasts are far to big to wear something that high waisted!

Beatrice looks beautiful :flower:
