The ladies of Chester pulled out all the stops in an array of colourful outfits as they stepped out at the annual Boodles May Festival today.
Living up to the area’s glamorous reputation, thousands of women made the most of the sunshine in daring necklines and showstopping dresses.
The event is billed as the ‘pinnacle of Chester’s social calendar’, and excited revellers were determined to showcase their fashion prowess.
With Chester operating a far less strict dress code than other racing events, such as Royal Ascot, guests took full advantage of the relaxed sartorial guidelines as they gathered for the annual race meeting.
Many attendees donned thigh-grazing ensembles, while others commanded attention when opting for plunging looks.
