Royal Ascot 2026 is drawing to a close. After an intense week of horse races and see-and-be-seen fashion, the curtain is officially falling on this famous and beloved equestrian event, which has always been the quintessential showcase of British glamour and aristocratic style.
Alongside dramatic hats and refined outfits ready to pass the strict entrance checks, masterful hairstyles and sophisticated makeup are on full display. Take Harriet Sperling, fresh off her wedding, who arrived at the opening of Ascot sporting a masterful braided updo, or Carole Middleton, spotted on the second day with a sun-kissed chestnut bob. Also present that same day were Prince William and Kate Middleton, looking incredibly elegant with her stunning low updo.
Among the sightings on the third day were Zara Tindall, whose smile was extra bright thanks to her ultra-glossy lips, and Princess Diana’s nieces Amelia and Eliza Spencer, both with makeup in perfect ladylike style . On the fourth day, Queen Camilla decided to stay true to her signature beauty look: a super-soft, feathery cut—her hair signature—and lips painted in an elegant mauve shade. On day five, Harriet Sperling was spotted once again, this time alongside her new husband, Peter Phillips. The newlywed bride sported an exquisitely refined low updo on the final day, hidden beneath a wide-brimmed hat, exuding a radiance that was nothing short of regal.
But that’s not all! Below, day by day, are the best looks from the Royal Ascot 2026.
Day 5
Harriet Sperling’s extra-curled lashes
Harriet Sperling exudes a regal radiance, thanks to her even complexion, which looks almost sun-kissed, warmed on the cheeks by subtle touches of peach blush, and an eye look emphasized by deeply curled black lashes. A delicate mauve shade with a creamy finish brightens her smile, while a sophisticated low braided updo, with strands falling gracefully along her face, completes the look. Pure elegance.
