Vibrant, celebratory, and steeped in tradition, the third day of Royal Ascot, colloquially known as Ladies’ Day, is a day to see and be seen for ladies and gentlemen. It is a glorious occasion, when high fashion and millinery masterpieces take centre stage alongside Flat racing’s most elite stayers locking horns in the historic Gold Cup.
The race has provided some of Royal Ascot’s greatest moments, including the legendary Yeats securing a remarkable fourth victory in 2009 and Her Late Majesty The Queen’s filly Estimate winning in 2013. Subjectivist secured the title in 2021, surging home to win by five lengths under Joe Fanning, giving trainer Mark Johnston his fourth victory in the race.
A major fashion event in its own right, where sartorial trends for the summer season are set, Thursday showcases the most spectacular millinery creations on display and boasts an unparalleled sense of style to match the prestige on the track.
The term “Ladies’ Day” dates back to 1823, when an anonymous poet described Thursday at Ascot as:
“Ladies’ Day … when the women, like angels, look sweetly divine.”
According to The Sun, it was traditionally a day when women were offered free or discounted tickets, which were otherwise available only to men.
While gendered ticket pricing is no longer in practice, Ladies’ Days at many race meetings in the UK have become synonymous with fashion competitions. At Kelso Racecourse, for example, awards are given in categories such as Best Dressed Lady, Best Dressed Couple, and Best Hat.
At Ascot, however, the tradition differs. While “Ladies’ Day” remains a popular colloquial term and the fashion highlight of the week, Ascot does not officially recognise it.
