This is not fashion for the faint heart. No she didn't would be your first words. Caroline Danjuma wasn't the only celebrity bringing it on at the Royal Ascot last weekend. Wondered why as a Nigerian she wore such a big hat? First you have to read through the
ROYAL ENCLOSURE DRESS CODE; - Dresses and skirts should be of modest length defined as falling just above the knee or longer
- Dresses and tops should have straps of one inch or greater
- Jackets and pashminas may be worn but dresses and tops underneath should still comply with the Royal Enclosure dress code
- Trouser suits are welcome. They should be of full length and of matching material and colour
- Hats should be worn; a headpiece which has a base of 4 inches (10cm) or more in diameter is acceptable as an alternative to a hat
- Strapless, off the shoulder, halter neck, spaghetti straps and dresses with a strap of less than one inch (2.5cm) are not permitted
- Midriffs must be covered
- Fascinators are no longer permitted in the Royal Enclosure; neither are headpieces which do not have a base covering a sufficient area of the head (4 inches / 10cm)
GRANDSTAND DRESS CODE

Okay, you read the rules, now let's see how attendees went about it.
Birds of a feather: Perfect hats girls, but isn't that skirt a bit short?
Hehe... want some more drama? Keep reading...
