22 of the most iconic fashion moments in recent racing history
November 12, 2019 | News | No Comments
Racing carnivals bring with them a slew of stars who dress to impress as they take to the track in carefully planned looks, clearly coordinated from head to toe. Irrespective of the race in question or the season it just so happens to fall into, celebrities and influencers alike make the most of the photo opportunity the event presents.
As such, some of the most popular races around the world see some of the most famous faces take fashion on the field to a whole new level. From the Royal Ascot and the Kentucky Derby, to Australia’s very own Melbourne Cup, stars dress to be seen. More often than not, the concept of less is more is thrown out the window, and the word subtlety is no longer in one’s vocabulary.
Take Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice’s eye-catching fascinators at almost every one of their racing carnival appearances, or Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian West’s outfits at the 2009 Kentucky Derby (above). The mother and daughter duo opted for oversized hats, paired with bold eyewear. It’s safe to say, iconic moments are aplenty at the races, so be sure to scroll on for at look at Nicole Richie’s
