Talulah, who was married to Elon Musk from 2013 to 2016, was a vision in her chic look, which consisted of a feather-brimmed fedora and a brown belted coat.

It was a star-studded day at the annual event as they were joined by Ed Westwick, Amy Jackson, Good Morning Britain star Laura Tobin and DIY SOS frontman Nick Knowles, who was flanked by his stunning girlfriend Katie Dadzie on the day.

Talulah and Thomas got engaged last year, after which her two-time ex-husband Elon Musk congratulated her with his own social media platform.

The world’s richest man, 52, commented ‘Congratulations’ with a love heart during her confirmation post, where she shared a cozy selfie with her fiancé.

While Talulah chose Twitter as her method of confirmation with a selfie alongside the words: ‘Very happy to share that after two years of dating Thomas Brodie Sangster and I are engaged!’, Thomas took to Instagram.

Along with a photo of the duo on a gondola, Thomas wrote: ‘Delighted to announce that Talulah and I are engaged. Love is all around X’, in a reference to his most iconic role in 2003’s Love Actually, featuring the Troggs’ track Love Is All Around.

Talulah married Elon in 2010 after meeting in 2008 shortly after his split from wife Justine Long. They divorced two years later before remarrying in 2013.

The billionaire filed for divorce in 2014, then withdrew the application. Two years later, Riley filed for divorce, which was finalized later that year. The pair met at London’s Whiskey Mist nightclub and Musk wooed her by talking about rockets.

Riley said of their first meeting in the new BBC documentary: ‘My first impression was that he was very nice, he seemed quite shy. He said “can I put my hand on your knee” and I said “OK go ahead”, I thought it was quite sweet that he asked.’

Last year, the Jockey Club scrapped its strict dress code at its racecourses, hoping to encourage a younger crowd to racing events where jeans and trainers were no longer looked down upon, and ‘come dressed to feel your best’ guidance in place.

The formal dress codes – as often jacket and tie included – was dropped in an effort to make horse racing more ‘accessible and inclusive’, the Jockey Club said in a statement.

The only exceptions to the new policy at any of the 342 tournaments staged by The Jockey Club are offensive fancy dress or offensive clothing of any kind and replica sports jerseys.

In previous years, men wore suits and women wore smart dresses and heels, while jeans and trainers were usually avoided.

But this year, stilettos have been swapped for chunky boots and traditional long dresses have been amped up. Noughties fashion seemed to be in vogue with people opting for rara skirts and blazers.

For today’s race meeting, The Paddy Power Stayer’s Hurdle headlines at 15:30, with Teahupoo hoping to go a few places better than last season, as it is denied by stablemate Sire Du Berlais, who is also running again.

It’s the most open of the festival’s feature races, with winners hard to predict.

Three previous Stayers’ Hurdle winners line up – Paisley Park, twice successful Flooring Porter and last year’s scorer Sire Du Berlais.

Gordon Elliott’s Teahupoo finished third last year and returns a more mature and complete athlete at seven, the age of five of the last seven winners.
