Royal Ascot has experienced its third day of competition, and as has been customary since 1823, this day marks the celebration of Ladies Day, an occasion to see and be seen.
In this event, the recognizable dress code established at the racecourse is taken to the extreme, with extravagant headdresses, glamorous attire, and, of course, the presentation of the Gold Cup to the winner.

But those who have grabbed the attention are not only the races, but the women of the British royal family, who have made headlines thanks to their style and elegance.
If in previous days it was the historical jewels that added sophistication, and the infinite pamelas that attracted attention, today the royals have wanted to enjoy the thoroughbred races wearing their most daring accessories, some even with a tribute to the late Elizabeth II.
Queen Camilla at Royal Ascot 2023 Day 3
Camilla proved that classics never fail and repeated a winning formula after the success of her bridal-inspired Dior look.
Wearing one of her usual coat dresses in a pastel blue hue, the queen consort was once again the center of attention.
The dress with a straight silhouette, French sleeves, round shoulder, and subtle neckline has attracted attention for its elegance and sobriety.
However, Camila wanted to give meaning to her style through accessories. She wore short white gloves and a circular side headdress decorated with matching feathers.
Following the trend of the previous days, Camila wore one of her well-known chokers composed of pearl necklaces, complemented by a large diamond clasp in light blue.
This precious stone has also been transferred to a brooch inherited from the jewelry box of the late Queen Elizabeth II, which has decorated one of her garments for the second time after premiering it during Christmas at Sandringham.
This rectangular jewel in the shape of a plate, made up of four triangular panels set with diamonds, belongs to the Art Deco movement of the early twentieth century.
Princess Anne at Royal Ascot
On the other hand, Princess Anne also wanted to repeat in the field of jewelry and wore her Cartier Aquamarine Pineflower brooch on the racetrack.
This brooch, which was originally part of a tiara owned by her mother, Elizabeth II, was given to Anne at her wedding in 1973.
The princess paired it with numerous golden pearls, a vintage duck green-hued mini-dress with French sleeves and a stand-up collar, and an off-white flower petal-shaped side headpiece.
Zara Tindall at Royal Ascot
Finally, Zara Tindall, who has been considered by the specialized press as the best-dressed guest at Royal Ascot 2023, has once again been surprised with a style inspired by the 50s.
The daughter of Princess Anne has chosen a midi-length shirt dress in semitransparent lace, with straps and a fitted silhouette. However, the main element of her look was a circular headdress decorated with natural flowers.
This is how Ladies Day was celebrated on day 3 of Royal Ascot, a day full of style, elegance, and historic jewels.
