Glamorous racegoers today descended on Ladies' Day at Epsom sporting their finest attire.
Women donned their best frocks and hats as they arrived at the Surrey racecourse on Friday to kickstart the weekend.
Racegoers appeared to be in the party spirit as they enjoyed the warm weather, sipping champagne throughout the festivities.
Guests were told to “dress to impress” by event organisers to be in with a chance of winning the Style Award title and prizes including a luxury holiday for two to Mauritius.
Elaborate headpieces were the order of the day for many women at the event, with oversized hats and fascinators adorned with feathers, butterflies and flowers spotted around the enclosure.
This year the Style Awards is open to both men and women and seeks out to find the very best dressed racegoers in the Grandstand and Queen's Stand enclosures.
First prize is a seven-night holiday for two people at Paradis Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa in Mauritius.
TV presenter and DJ Vogue Williams and Hello! magazine's Alexandra Wilby will judge the contest.
Friday is the first of two days of racing at Epsom Downs, with the festival featuring racing and an after party hosted by Williams.
Derby Day, one of the biggest racing events of the summer calendar, is due to take place on Saturday.
