The royals have once again pulled out all the fashion stops, only this time at one of the biggest royal events of the year: the Royal Ascot.

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, led a stream of glamorous royals at the annual high-society horse race on Tuesday, stealing the show in blue alongside her husband Prince William, Queen Elizabeth, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, and members of the royal family.

For the event, Catherine stunned in a blue dress by Elie Saab featuring a sheer torso and sleeves over a matching slip. She completed the look with a matching Philip Treacy hat.
