ROYAL ASCOT 2026 HAS OFFICIALLY ARRIVED – AND THE FASHION IS ALREADY STEALING THE SHOW. K1 👒✨

17/06/2026

See all the fabulous looks from the most fashionable event of the British social season.

Royal Ascot 2026 is here! Which means five days of fabulous fashion, statement headpieces and impeccably dressed racegoers. While the racing remains at the heart of the event, style is just as much a part of the spectacle, with guests embracing the occasion in everything from elegant tailoring and sophisticated dresses to bold colours and show-stopping hats.

As one of the most prestigious dates in the British social calendar, the Berkshire-based event always delivers plenty of outfit inspiration – and this year looks set to be no exception. We’ll be bringing you all the standout looks from the racecourse as they arrive.

This year’s official style handbook, curated by Creative Director Daniel Fletcher, has put a fresh spin on race-day dressing, championing “Bright Tomato” as the season’s standout shade – so we expect to see plenty of vibrant red tones…

While the event’s famously strict dress code remains unchanged, the handbook encourages guests to championed individuality within the rules – experimenting with colour, style and statement accessories, while still honouring Ascot’s sartorial traditions.
