1970s Fashion Horseracing Royal Ascot Style Suit
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the glamorous world of Royal Ascot in June 1970. The focus is on the elegant and trailblazing Mrs Ross Benson of Chelsea, who made history as the first lady to confidently stride into the prestigious Royal Enclosure wearing a stylish trouser suit. This image not only captures a moment in time but also showcases the evolving fashion trends of the seventies. Mrs Ross Benson's ensemble exudes sophistication and confidence, perfectly embodying the spirit of women breaking free from traditional clothing norms during this era. The attention to detail is impeccable - her impeccably tailored suit accentuates her figure while maintaining an air of refinement. Paired with it is a chic hat that adds a touch of whimsy and completes her fashionable look. Royal Ascot has always been synonymous with high society and horseracing, but through this photograph, we witness how fashion played an equally important role in defining its legacy. This iconic image serves as a testament to both Mrs Ross Benson's individuality and courage in challenging societal expectations. Daily Mirror's expertly captured moment allows us to relive this groundbreaking sartorial choice that undoubtedly left an indelible mark on British fashion history.
