While in 2011 the appearance of Duchess Katalin was the biggest number at the Epsom derby, this year the Duchess stayed away and the older members of the royal family, as well as William's cousins, Eugenie and Béatrice, appeared. The first day of the two-day event is Ladies Day, when, in addition to the races, the appearing ladies also compare their clothes. This year, with the support of Harvey Nichols, the best-dressed woman could win a £5,000 shopping voucher, so everyone tried to make it their own.

Even mortals can enter the derby - and they do, 100,000 spectators can easily fit in - if they pay the entrance fee and comply with the strict dress code, accordingly, the couple in the gallery are more tasteless than strikingly dressed lady guest too, and the hats are worth paying special attention to, they are really interesting. And of course you can find the winner of the style competition among our pictures.

On the second day, the races with higher prizes are organized, at four in the afternoon, for example, they compete for 1.325 million pounds. By the way, the Derby has been held in Epsom since 1780, the race was named after Edward Smith-Stanley, the 12th Earl of Derby, and its essence is that 3-year-old horses compete. An exception is the Hong Kong and Singapore derbies, where breeders can enter their horses up to 4 years old.

For the event with the biggest awards and the most patina II. Erzsébet always visits, especially since a couple of her horses are often competing. This year, the 87-year-old monarch paid her respects in a mint-green ensemble in the Royal Lodge, accompanied by Prince Philip, his granddaughters Beatrice and Eugenie, and their father, Prince Andrew.

Unlike usual, Beatrice chose a restrained hat from Karen Henriksen, with which she wore a black and white dress. Dressed in pastel colors, her sister's flat hat was designed by Sarah Cant, writes the Daily Mail. Not many celebrities appeared at the competition, one of them was Samantha Barks, who played the role of Éponine in Les Miserables, who chose a great blue and white dress.
