Charlotte Hawkins' sophisticated Ascot dress is from one of Zara Tindall's favourite occasionwear brands
Spotted on day four of Royal Ascot, her summery blue midi dress is so elegant
Charlotte Hawkins has delivered some fabulous style moments at Royal Ascot this week, with a series of elegant looks that are worth taking inspiration from, but her day four attire might just be one of my personal favourites yet.
The presenter stepped out in an exquisite summer dress by Rebecca Vallance - a brand that's also a favourite of Zara Tindall's, and known for their timeless and feminine designs. It’s the chicest choice if you're stuck on what to wear to the races, or if you're simply looking for a luxury summer wedding guest dress.
Her light blue cotton midi dress feels so sophisticated, with its lantern print and flattering shape making it ideal for a summer race day. She elevated the look with a sky-blue boater hat, while navy pointed heels completed the outfit for a coordinated finish.
This mid-length dress features a flattering nipped-in waist for an effortlessly flattering silhouette, and I love the lantern print. It's an investment piece worth making, and you'll reach for it summer after summer for years to come.
This bow disc fascinator will add a refined finishing touch to your occasionwear. Its sculptural design feels both statement-making and sophisticated, making it perfect for livening up your favourite dresses or sharp tailoring.
You'll get plenty of wear out of these navy court shoes. Sophisticated and versatile, these heels will elevate almost everything in your wardrobe, and the navy hue is surprisingly easy to style.
The soft light-blue hue on this dress feels so summery, and it's cut to a flattering fit-and-flare silhouette for a sculpted finish. Echoing a similar silhouette to Charlotte's dress, it's an elegant choice for special occasions.
Made from a soft organic cotton, this long-sleeved dress is a breathable and stylish choice for the warmer season. Its relaxed silhouette makes it easy to wear, and it's beautiful block print design feels so elegant.
Covered in eye-catching florals this beautiful dress is a sophisticated choice for special occasions. The puff sleeves are the sweetest addition.
This style of floral cotton dress is exactly the kind of piece that you'll get plenty of wear out of throughout event season. Light, breathable and easy to wear, it works just as well for Royal Ascot as it does for weddings, garden parties and summer lunches. Switch up your accessories depending on where you are headed. For a more smart-casual outfit, pair this style of dress with your most comfortable sandals and a lightweight cardigan.
Rebecca Vallance is a firm favourite of Zara Tindall's, and she has been spotted wearing the brand at Ascot herself this week, including a pretty pastel lilac dress that features a flattering wrap-over design.
Hawkins has continued to impress us with her fabulous style over the past week. Another notable look is when she embraced one of the key spring/summer colour trends 2026 – tomato red, in a dress that brought a vibrant burst of colour to the event, which we love to see!
