EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print from the first day of Royal Ascot in 1976, we see none other than Dame Edna Everage stealing the show with her extravagant fashion choice. The flamboyant Australian comedian is seen donning a massive five-foot wide hat that demands attention and admiration. The hat itself is a work of art, crafted meticulously to reflect Dame Edna's vibrant personality. Made from white lace with aqua-marine and royal rushed satin, it symbolizes the majestic waves of Sydney Harbour. Rising proudly from these waves is a representation of the famous Opera House, constructed in elegant white satin. Dame Edna's choice of attire perfectly captures her unique sense of humor and love for extravagance. As she graces the prestigious event with her presence, onlookers cannot help but be captivated by her larger-than-life persona. This photograph transports us back to an era when fashion knew no bounds and individuality was celebrated.
