LONDRA – Royal Ascot 2014: è l’appuntamento ippico più prestigioso d’Inghilterra, nonché il più seguito al mondo. Appassiona tutta la nazione anche per un motivo che in realtà non ha niente a che fare con i cavalli: l’evento è infatti l’occasione per sfilare con i più improbabili cappellini di tutte le forme e colori, creazioni che superano di gran lunga ogni aspettativa carnevalesca.
Anche quest’anno ad inaugurare il concorso c’era la Regina Elisabetta, che ha scelto un “total look” celeste chiaro con cappellino coordinato, mentre suo marito, come il principe Carlo e tutti gli uomini partecipanti ai Royal Ascot, ha scelto un classico ed elegantissimo cilindro nero.
Per capire di cosa si tratta o semplicemente per avere un’idea di quale sia il giusto “dress code” da sfoggiare in questa occasione mondana, ecco alcuni esempi di cappelli scelti dalle “ladies” che hanno partecipato all’evento:
