This year's annual Ladies Day at Aintree Racecourse is set to welcome its biggest crowd in almost 15 years.
Kicking off on Friday, thousands are set to head to Merseyside for a day of fashion, entertainment, and—of course—horseracing.
Thousands of racegoers are excited to gather at Aintree for the highly anticipated Ladies Day today.
This year, Debenhams is the official Style Partner, with over £10,000 worth of prizes to be won.
This vibrant day at Aintree also features the annual Style Awards.
Moreover, the Style Awards are introducing two new categories this year, celebrating standout fashion across the racecourse.
The first is "best hat," which honors bold and beautiful millinery on the course. The second is "best suited", which focuses on tailoring.
Ladies Day takes place on the second day of the racecourse's world-famous Randox Grand National Festival.
