Fashion, What I Wore

What I Wore: Royal Ascot Day One

16th June, 2022

I’m in London attending Royal Ascot and as far as racing events go, you really have to bring your A-game when it comes to what you wear. Given it’s often attended by royalty, and the dress codes are quite strict, I definitely had to make sure that the outfits I’m wearing over the three days I’m attending are up to Royal Ascot standard!

For day one, I went for a demure, ladylike outfit all anchored by some beautiful Gucci pieces. I worked with stylist Jess Pecoraro to help pull this look together and it was all about this pleated cream skirt (below the knee of course!) worked back with a polished silk blouse. I went for a bold blazer, with statement shoulders and chain link to really tie this outfit together. While a classic pair of black Mary Jane style pumps added another feminine touch. I liked that the overall vibe was elegant without being too over the top and it shows the beauty in embracing simple pieces but working them together to create an outfit that still has presence and impact.

As far as accessories go, it was all about elegance and simplicity—but with some subtle statement making elements woven in. This gorgeous Nerida Winter raffia headpiece with veil added a dramatic touch yet the raffia fabric kept it understated. While a simple monogrammed bar clutch by Gucci added a gilded element and just a touch of glam.
