Far from a Royal Ascot washout...


Hats galore at Royal Ascot this year and the whackier the better we say... enough to make even Anna Dello Russo feel right at home. Nice to see that many race-goers taking AVFF's advice from their last summer events special vintage fair and opted for unique and classic vintage pieces to accessorize their looks. &7 picked the best vintage and vintagesque looks from 4 day Racing event, the pouring rain didn't put off these starlets...
