Ascot 2011 (Her Majesty's Edition)

The Queen was present for each day of Royal Ascot, so this entry is devoted to her outfits.  We'll look at everyone else next time!

Date:  June 2011
Place:  Ascot, England
Event:  Royal Ascot

Elizabeth kicked off the week with a pale green Karl Ludwig dress and coat.  We adore  those shoes.


The hat is purported to be an Angela Kelly creation.  I'm not sure what Ms. Kelly or Her Majesty were thinking, but a disheveled, unraveled mess is never really appropriate for any occasion--now is it?


For day two, the Queen pulled out an old crowd favorite--a white coat and Barbie pink dress and swirl hat.


She has worn this ensemble at least twice before; first, at a royal garden party in 2009 and second, in Muscat during a visit to Oman in 2010.


On day three, Lilibet pulled out another recycled outfit.


She wore this salmon suit and hat previously in Canada in 2010.


We really dig the hat, are on the fence about the color, and really don't care for the slapdash frilly edging.  No comment on the square 1980s buttons.


On the fourth day, the Queen donned another outfit from her 2010 Canadian tour.  She looks lovely in yellow.  She should wear it every day!  Her jewels look great with this suit, too.


On the final day, Elizabeth pulled out yet another suit from her time in Canada last year.


The hat is divine.  The outfit is nice but a bit boring.  No comment, again, on the square buttons.  We love her coordinated umbrella.  And that brooch automatically kicks every outfit up a notch.



That's it for this time.  Thanks for reading Fashionably Royal.  Tune in next time for more coverage of Royal Ascot!
