Day two of the Grand National Festival kicked off today, and with it the sartorial spectacle known as Ladies Day.

It’s the day when event attendees and audiences at home are distracted from betting tips and nail-biting finishes by the daring, dazzling - and occasionally disastrous - outfits on display.

This year, as every year, the guest list of sartorial risk-takers are out to win the annual Style Award. Outfits are judged on their colour, style and all-round eye-catching appeal, with the winning ensemble earning its owner a brand new SE Tech, Range Rover Evoque.

From dramatic hats and headpieces, to tweeds and faux furs, colourful accessories and some gravity-defying heels, the Aintree racecourse is where to look this week for some truly sensational style.

The gates opened at 10.30am and the first race kicked off at 1.45pm, with the seventh and final race setting out at 5.30pm.
