Kate Middleton looked straight out of an Impressionist painting at the Royal Ascot

Per usual, the royals went all out in their attire for the event, which includes a strict dress code. Men have to wear “summer tuxedos”; women, dresses and elaborate hats. This year, Kate Middleton looked straight out of an Impressionist painting in a blue Elie Saab dress and a flower hat by Philip Treacy. And Prince William? Why, he was wearing a summer tux and top hat and toting an umbrella.

Did you know that people actually bet on the color of hat she wears to the opening day of Royal Ascot each year? I love that, too. Princess Beatrice and Queen Elizabeth at Royal Ascot.
