It’s the biggest horse race of the year in the UK and this time it didn’t disappoint when it came to fashion.
Revelers flocked to the Grand National Festival in Aintree wearing chic white ensembles, from floor-length dresses to tiered dresses and stunning trouser suits.
An unspoken theme this year seemed to be bridal elegance, as racegoers apparently celebrated bachelorette parties with ceremonial hats, hairpieces and even white floral tulle.
With excellent weather to accompany the famous event, it was the perfect three days to celebrate the arrival of marital happiness.
Yesterday afternoon, revelers at Merseyside Racecourse watched the big day get underway.
One woman put on a leggy display in a white tulle skirt reminiscent of a wedding dress.

At 4pm, and to the delight of many fans, I Am Maximus, the 7/1 joint favourite, won the race.
And while the three-day event, which began Thursday, is presumably all about horse racing, much fanfare and attention was paid to the best dressed in the crowd.
With all eyes on them, racegoers posed up a storm for the camera, and some danced or waved their arms in the air.
To get the party spirit going, the women wore their best stilettos and cheered on Moet, beer and spirits galore.
Perhaps the epitome of bridal elegance was a woman who arrived in a white floral tulle skirt.
The skirt was reminiscent of the bottom half of a wedding dress, except for its miniature front.
Elsewhere, a contestant donned a tight polka dot minidress with a matching black and white hat.
Stealing the show, she paired the look with sleek black sunglasses, black strappy sandals and a black leather bag.
As guests arrived, it became clear that the event was going to be an exciting mix of fashion and sport.
