Thank you for posting, QA! :D

They both look beautiful! Tbh, I'm not a fan of fascinators but maybe it's just because I'm not used to seeing them as people don't wear them in my country (that I know of anyway). I'd find it more interesting to see what kind of hairdos they're wearing! :) Do people wear fascinators to other events than the races?

Na they are only worn for these races. The one event of the year when no matter what the weather, you have to wear uncomfortably high heels, a new dress and some kind of weird fascinator that makes me people wonder what on earth you were thinking. You freeze your butt off and drink too much champagne so you end up carrying your shoes and almost catching hyperthermia, since it's guarenteed to be very cold and usually rainy!

Thank you for answering! That doesn't look like fun! :P
