COLOURFUL fascinators, daring stilettos and very eye-catching dresses, Newmarket racegoers arrived in style for Ladies Day.
Revellersdescended on the Suffolk racecourse for the first day of the annual racing festival and did not hold back with their outfits.
Women donned their fanciest frocks and unusual headpieces in a bid to be crowned the Style Awards Best Dressed Lady.
The stylish winner took home a number of swanky prizes, including a 12-month subscription to rental service The Devout, worth £708, and a House of Cavani voucher, worth £30.
As well as looking for creativity and originality, judges looked for someone who paid attention to the sustainability of their outfit.
And attendees certainly did not disappointed in their looks, oozing glamour from head to toe.

Thankfully, racegoers were lucky enough to have good weather and the sun continued to shine on Friday too.
The racing event started with Britain’s oldest horse race, The Newmarket Town Plate, which had been run at Newmarket's Round Course since 1666.
It was launched by King Charles II, who insisted that it should be run “forever.”
Racegoers were treated to Frankie Dettori riding a big winner on the day after he made up with trainer John Gosden.
Dettori was a brilliant winner on Mighty Ulysses, the 11-10 favourite, in the Listed Edmondson Hall Solicitors Sir Henry Cecil Stakes at 4.10pm.

Radio 1 DJ Adele Roberts played the evening show, and that came just days after announcing she is “cancer-free.”
The star, 43, had been suffering from bowel cancer, revealing in October that she was undergoing treatment and later having surgery to remove a tumour.
The star thanked her doctor and NHS staff, describing them as "angels", as she shared the amazing news today.
Adele has been open about her cancer journey, particularly with her use of a stoma bag, which attaches to her abdomen and collects her faeces, and her experience of chemotherapy.
In a post on Instagram, Adele recalled her experience of hearing she was cancer-free as "the most beautiful sound I think I've ever heard".

Alongside an image of her and her doctor, Dr Khan, she wrote: "Angel on Earth. The day I've been waiting for.
"Hearing the words "you're free of cancer" absolutely took my breath away. I keep replaying it in my mind. It was the most beautiful sound I think I've ever heard. Even though I was praying Dr Khan would say that to me I don't think my head let me believe it until I heard it.
"Everything we've been through seems to be swirling around in my body and life feels a bit surreal at the moment… BUT I AM SO GRATEFUL! I am counting my blessings.”
