People across the country are picking out their must-see outfits
The second day of the Cheltenham Festival is traditionally billed as Ladies’ Day. It’s when many of the women at Prestbury Park (and to be fair, many of the men as well) will be strutting their stuff in their best finery.
They’ve had one years to plan, prepare and assemble their all important racecourse look. Parish Fashion Week has nothing on this corner of Gloucestershire and the 2023 Ladies’ Day is sure to be no exception in just two weeks’ time on Wednesday, March 15.
It could be a chilly one with the UK braced for some cold winds. But weather always comes second to style.
Below, you can see some of our pictures from the 2022 Ladies’ Day. This is an updated photo gallery originally published last year.
