Glamorous racegoers descend on Aintree for Ladies Day at Grand National Festival

After weeks of preening and outfit preparation, glamorous racegoers amped up the style stakes as they descended on Aintree for Ladies Day at the three-day Grand National Festival. Pulling out all the stops in thigh-skimming frocks, plunging necklines and sheer ensembles, revellers put their best fashion foot forward as they competed to take home the coveted best-dressed award on the second day of the event. And they certainly gave judges a tough task, arriving in a flurry of precarious heels, statement hats and dramatic dresses.
