Royal Ascot, Day Five

The Queen honored Ascot Races with her presence today.
And that's it! Ascot is over, and the Queen's going out in her Wedgwood best, complete with diamonds and pearls.
I'm quite pleased with the Ascot brooch show this year, aren't you? Something old, something new (and something kinda new), something borrowed (from the Queen Mother's look, that is), and something blue.

Royal Ascot, Day Four

The Queen honored Ascot Races with her presence today.

I love this tweet sent by @BritishMonarchy:
Somebody's still riding yesterday's high! Grinning from ear to ear indeed.
And she continues to celebrate her win with more delicious jewels. I never object to an outing of Albert's sapphire!

There is literally nothing about this that doesn't give me the jumpy claps. Right?!

I watched the carriage procession today, and listened to the fashion correspondent talk about the Queen's mint green coat and floral dress by Peter Enrione with a matching Angela Kelly hat...and then she mentioned an emerald and diamond brooch that we see frequently.
Au contraire! This is something new, or "new" as the case may be. I don't think I've seen this one before, an Art Deco diamond brooch with a central emerald. I'm not sure I like it, necessarily, but I sure do like surprises.

Royal Ascot, Day One

And we have a winner! As requested by commenter Katharine Naomi on our Ascot flashback, the Queen wore the Rose Gold Brooch. We haven't seen it on this color before (looks pink to me, though peach was the official description), and it certainly complements the colors of gold that seem to be present in this mystery brooch.
Many of you asked for a hat shape variation. Well, we didn't get that, but we did get some design variation: this is not an Angela Kelly original but an ensemble from two of the other designers that serve Her Maj, a Stewart Parvin coat and dress and a hat by Rachel Trevor-Morgan. You like?
