Una Healy says: “Hats off to Ladbrokes and Ilda Di Vico for my beautiful headpiece. Frankie Dettori has given us some many amazing moments throughout his career and I really wanted to pay homage to him ahead of his last ever Royal Ascot and this gorgeous hat certainly does that. It’s a real crowd-pleaser!”

Nicola McGeady from Ladbrokes says: “Our Frankie Dettori themed hat combines the best bits of a day out at Royal Ascot and Frankie Dettori’s illustrious career. There’s always a lot of competition in the style stakes, but with Ilda’s unique creation, this hat is definitely a winner.”

Milliner Ilda Di Vico explained the design: “Royal Ascot is about the racing and the hats. I really enjoyed the creative challenge set by Ladbrokes. Frankie Dettori’s glorious career was the perfect inspiration for this headpiece and I hope it’s a fitting tribute to a sporting great.”
