(Model Erin O’Connor looks super chic in a monochrome ensemble. Her voluminous pants offset the sharp Chanel jacket; the hat is by Stephen Jones.)

The Royal Ascot Races, England held its annual ladies day yesterday and this year was certainly a spectacle. The event, which is infamous for its parade of hats worn by attendees,  didn’t disappoint. Women wore all sorts of weird and wonderful creations. Some opted for a more traditional (one might say conservative look) whereas others embraced the nature of the event and paraded around with bird like creations perched on hats, ones made from braids shaped like trees (really-we’ve got the pictures) and hats made completely of marshmallow (you know-just in case you get a little peckish). Royalty, stars, and hat loving women alike enjoyed the chance to hold their head up high.  We most definitely take our hats off to these women!~Adam London
