Aintree Ladies Day 2026: Ladies Day returned to Aintree Racecourse on Friday, April 10, 2026, bringing together fashion, racing and a big crowd for one of the best-known events of the Randox Grand National Festival. The event is held on the second day of the festival and is famous for turning the racecourse into a place full of bold outfits, eye-catching hats and fun style choices. Aintree itself describes it as a day where “big hats meet high heels” and where people come to show their own style while enjoying top-class racing.
Thousands of people came to Merseyside for the occasion. The day mixed serious racing on the track with lots of attention on fashion away from it. As always, the clothes became a big talking point. Many people arrived in bright looks, playful outfits and head-turning fascinators that quickly became one of the biggest style themes of the day. Coverage from the event showed a strong mix of classic race-day dressing and more daring fashion choices.
Bright fashion and fun style ruled the day
This year, Ladies Day looked bright and full of life. Bold colours, polka dots, fascinators and eye-catching accessories stood out everywhere. Some people chose classy outfits, while others went for fun and playful looks. The whole event felt stylish, cheerful and full of fashion fun.
Fashion at Ladies Day has always been a big part of why the event feels special. It is not just about wearing expensive clothes. It is also about confidence, personality and having fun with style. Aintree’s own guidance for the event says people should “dress to feel your best,” which helps explain why the outfits often feel both personal and bold. That relaxed but stylish mood was clearly seen again this year.
