We stop the most stylish women in Ascot's Royal Box to ask for outfit details
Our Mirror fashion team heads to Ascot's prestigious Royal Enclosure to discover where the most stylish women shopped for their race-day outfits... When it comes to style stakes, Royal Ascot's Royal Enclosure is the place to be. With a strict dress code and a reputation for glamour, this exclusive area plays host to some of the most fabulously turned-out women in the country, including the Royal Family. And this year, the Mirror fashion team got extended an invite. So, armed with our best compliments, we hit the lawns to track down the most stylish women sporting race-day fashion you'll want to copy for your own summer events. From show-stopping millinery to chic co-ords and heirloom-worthy accessories, we chatted to the most stylish women we could find to get the lowdown on exactly what (and who) they're wearing. So, whether you're after inspiration for next year's races or just love a good fashion nosy at this year's top occasionwear trends, prepare to add space in your wardrobe for these pieces– and the lower-priced alternatives we've hunted down... Baby blues and elevated florals Two standout trends dominated the Royal Enclosure this year: dreamy baby blues and elevated florals. Soft pastel shades of blue brought a fresh, romantic feel to the lawns, with everything from structured midi dresses to floaty chiffon numbers turning heads. Meanwhile, florals got a sophisticated upgrade – think bold blooms on luxurious fabrics, intricate embroidery and dramatic silhouettes that felt anything but garden party. Copy Laura's look for less: Coast Lisa Tan Polo Tie Waist Shirt Dress, £129 Polka dots and Peter Pan collars Playful and polished, polka dots and Peter Pan collars made a strong showing at Ascot this year, adding a touch of retro charm to the Royal Enclosure. From classic monochrome spots to colourful, oversized prints, polka dots proved to be a favourite with a modern twist. Peter Pan collars, meanwhile, brought a trendy, vintage-inspired edge to tailored dresses and blouses. Cape silhouettes Cape-style dresses swept through Ascot with heaps of elegance, adding a bit of drama to traditional race-day dressing. Whether draped over shoulders in soft chiffon or built into sleek, structured gowns, cape detailing gave outfits a regal, fashion-forward edge. Porcelain prints Porcelain prints made a return to Ascot this year, with delicate blue-and-white patterns inspired by fine china turning heads across the lawns. From intricate Toile de Jouy (a textile comparable to fine batiste– think Dior) to bold ceramic-inspired motifs, these prints added an almost regal feel to everything from midi dresses to co-ords. Playful prints Fun prints brought a burst of personality to the Royal Enclosure, proving that Ascot style doesn't always have to take itself too seriously. We spotted everything from tropical palm motifs and fruity patterns to whimsical sea creatures swimming across skirts and dresses. These fun, feel-good prints were a refreshing contrast to more traditional race-day looks, with bold colours and unexpected designs stealing the spotlight. Royal blue Royal blue reigned supreme at Ascot this year, bringing a bold energy. The rich, vibrant hue was a favourite among racegoers looking to make a statement, whether in sleek tailoring, flowing dresses, or dramatic headpieces. Pictured: An unnamed Summer House attendee wears Diane von Furstenberg Women's Blue Queena Floral Cotton Midi Dress now £297 (pictured is an out-of-stock royal blue shade) Silky co-ords Silky co-ords were out in full force, offering a chic alternative to the traditional dress-and-hat combo. These fluid, matching sets – often in luxe satins and soft sheens – brought a grown-up elegance to the enclosure, with racegoers favouring everything from pastel hues to bold floral prints. Pictured: Lindy wears Max Mara Printed silk pyjama shirt, £340, and matching trousers, £300 Copy Lindy's look for less: Karen Millen Mirrored Viscose Linen Floral Print With Raffia Belt Woven Trouser, £149, and matching shirt, £139 Oversized bows Oversized bows made a bold statement this year, accessorising everything from headbands to wide-brimmed hats with playful drama. Whether sculpted in satin, layered in tulle or made from cotton, these eye-catching embellishments added a fun and flirty twist to traditional millinery. Pictured: Lynsey wears Miss B's Millinery Velvet Kate Headband, £195, an unnamed Summer House attendee wears a custom bow sunhat Monochrome Monochrome made its mark at Ascot once again, proving that black and white is a timeless combo that never goes out of style. From crisp white tailoring with contrasting black accessories to polka-dotted dresses and graphic prints, the Royal Enclosure was a masterclass in minimalist elegance.

COOFANDY Announces Collaboration with Luxury Designer Matteo Menotto, Defining a New Era of Timeless Elegance
New York, NY, June 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — COOFANDY officially announces its collaboration with internationally renowned luxury fashion designer Matteo Menotto, unveiling a co-branded collection that marks a pivotal step forward in the brand's evolution. As COOFANDY's first partnership with a high-profile designer from the world of European luxury, this collaboration brings a new level of creative sophistication to its menswear offerings. Matteo Menotto, celebrated for his work with global fashion powerhouses, is known for his masterful approach to print and textile design—blending artistic depth with commercial precision. His expertise in crafting visual narratives through fabric has made him a sought-after creative force across both runway and retail. This collaboration marks COOFANDY's step toward a more global and upscale identity, blending international design flair with everyday wearability. The Story Behind Exotic Escape At the center of the COOFANDY x Matteo Menotto collaboration is Exotic Escape—a signature print that encapsulates the creative synergy between COOFANDY's brand values and Menotto's world-class design sensibility. More than just a visual element, this print serves as a narrative device, a canvas that expresses the shared vision of two forces merging functionality with elevated design. Inspired by the classic French Toile de Jouy, Exotic Escape reinterprets the traditional pastoral motif through a vivid, tropical lens. The design features dreamlike floating islands inhabited by wild tigers, tropical birds, and lush foliage—hibiscus, plumeria, and palm—composed with deliberate elegance. Rendered in monochrome tones and delicate lines, the composition evokes both serenity and complexity, inviting the viewer to look deeper and imagine more. Beneath its surface beauty lies a conceptual framework that speaks directly to COOFANDY's brand philosophy: timeless elegance and modern sophistication. These islands are not simply exotic landscapes—they are metaphors for identity in motion. Each scene captures the tension and harmony between stillness and discovery, control and curiosity. The wilderness is stylized, not wild; the adventure, refined rather than reckless. This contrast is no accident. In Exotic Escape, nature is not chaotic but composed—curated into a visual order that mirrors the COOFANDY man himself: grounded, intentional, quietly confident. The animals and flora become symbolic agents, echoing the inner vitality that refined design seeks to reveal, not disguise. Here, elegance isn't about excess—it's about restraint, balance, and awareness. By weaving classical structure with imaginative freedom, the print doesn't just decorate the garment—it elevates it. It prompts the wearer to consider not just how they look, but how they inhabit the world: Are you escaping, or returning to yourself? What does refinement mean in a world increasingly drawn to spectacle? Exotic Escape is COOFANDY's answer to these questions—a poetic synthesis of aesthetics and meaning. It interprets timeless elegance not as nostalgia, but as presence; modern sophistication not as trend, but as clarity of intention. Design That Empowers Through Function While the Exotic Escape print delivers visual sophistication, the garments themselves are designed to support the rhythms of real life—without compromising on comfort, care, or confidence. Every piece in the collection reflects this philosophy. The fabrics are breathable, lightweight, and selected for ease of wear—perfect for summer climates and transitional settings. Many of the items are made from quick-drying, wrinkle-resistant materials that retain their shape and color wash after wash. These are clothes made to move with you, not slow you down. The silhouettes are relaxed yet structured—shirts that drape naturally, collars that hold their shape, shorts that are cut for freedom but still refined. Features like roll-up sleeves, invisible plackets, and practical pockets aren't just stylistic choices; they're thoughtful details that enhance usability. whether they're on a beach, in transit, or stepping into a casual meeting. Each piece is versatile enough to be styled up or down, giving the wearer control over how they present themselves across settings and moods. Elevating Everyday Style with Meaningful Design The COOFANDY x Matteo Menotto collaboration is more than a creative project—it reflects a shared belief that good design should be both thoughtful and accessible. By combining COOFANDY's practical approach to everyday menswear with Menotto's background in high-end fashion, the collection introduces a new layer of depth to functional clothing. At its core, this partnership is about refining how style is experienced. It brings artistic detail and purposeful design into pieces meant to be worn in real life, not just admired. It's about crafting garments that do more than follow trends—they carry meaning, inspire confidence, and give form to the kind of man who is both grounded and evolving.
