Lizzie Cundy has hit back at Royal Ascot bosses after being turned away for her outfit choice this week.
The 58-year-old TV personality was given a “rap on the knuckles” by organisers for wearing a cream midi-dress with cut-outs to the prestigious event. She initially apologised but changed her tune on Good Morning Britain.
Speaking to Kate Garraway and Ranvir Singh, Cundy defended her dress choice: “A galloping jockey could see that that dress wasn’t see-through.”
The former WAG argued that fashion at the races should be about fun and personal expression: “I do believe – particularly the races – it is all about the fashion, it isn’t really about the racing.”
Cundy has now demanded that Ascot’s strict dress code rules be updated annually: “Fashions change, we need to have the Ascot rules reviewed yearly.”
She also hit out at what she sees as unfair treatment of women at the event: “It’s always the women being criticised, it’s always the women being ridiculed, and it’s never the men.”
The Royal Enclosure has extremely strict requirements including dresses that fall just above the knee or longer and shoulder straps over an inch wide.
