The Royal Ascot 2013 culminated into a victory for Queen Elizabeth II, when her horse Estimate won Thursday's Royal Ascot Gold Cup.
The centuries-old horse racing event is steeped in many traditions including the raising of the Queen's Royal Standard, a horse-drawn carriage for the Queen and her royal entourage and of course, a very strict dress code which includes spectacular hats.
And really, who is paying attention to the horse races besides a few rich (and royal) Brits when there is so much hat-spotting to be had?
The British Monarchy aren't the only ones who have to wear wacky chapeaus; even celebrities like Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai have to don a fab hat.
So without further ado, we present the boldest and craziest hats at the Royal Ascot 2013.
