It’s Gold Cup day at Cheltenham, and eager revellers were determined to go all out, donning extravagant ensembles to witness the festival’s spectacular grand finale.
Feathers and tweed were the order of the day, with many opting for chic tartan suits and fur-lined coats to keep out the early Spring chill.
The Gold Cup is the jewel in the crown of jump racing, and racegoers ensured they stood out from the crowd for the popular event by wearing gorgeous country chic outfits.
The historic society event, which dates back to the early 19th century, has unveiled a new ‘inclusive’ dress code this year, which organisers hope will make spectators feel ‘confident and at-ease’ for their visit.
But despite dresses, heels and hats no longer being mandatory, glamourous guests have still opted to pull out all the fashion stops for the annual event.

This year’s official dress code for the festival, posted on the event’s website, outlines exactly what racegoers should consider when choosing an outfit.
It reads: ‘For some, wearing a nice sweatshirt, pair of jeans and clean trainers is what makes them feel confident and at-ease.
‘For others, they might prefer to turn heads with a sharp suit or glamorous dress and high heels, particularly for one of our big race meetings.
‘But whatever your tastes, the most important thing when choosing your outfit is, of course, comfort and confidence.
‘So wear what feels right for you and will keep you feeling your best from start to finish, whatever the weather,’ concluded the statement.
