Royal Ascot Day Two: As Kate pulls out, best dressed include Prince William and Carole Middleton

Catherine, Princess of Wales was due to attend Royal Ascot 2025, but decided to pull out from attending.

I was eagerly anticipating Catherine, Princess of Wales attending Royal Ascot 2025, but I firmly believe that she needs to strike the right balance between her royal engagements and recovering from cancer both physically and psychologically. I am in no doubt she would have been in my best dressed list for Royal Ascot 2025 as she has consistently worn some seriously stylish outfits at the event over the years.

However, when it comes to the fashion stakes, her husband, Prince William and mother Carole Middleton did not let her down. Still sporting a beard, Prince William looked very dapper in his morning suit whilst the Princess of Wales’s mother Carole Middleton was elegant in lace.

Although Georgia Toffolo was one of my worst dressed stars from Day One at Royal Ascot, she redeemed herself on Day Two. She looked incredibly chic in a dress by CHATS by C.DAM, hat by Awon Golding Millinery, shoes by Next and bag by Fendi. Yes Georgia, you nailed it today.

However, my favourite outfit of the day goes to Lovely Amusan. Lovely looked absolutely incredible in all pink, it was just perfection! I also thought Eric Underwood and Ellie Evelyn-Smith looked incredibly stylish.
