00:00Renowned for its dazzling fashion and vibrant atmosphere, Ladies' Day at the
00:06Randox Grand National Festival has become a must-see event on the race day
00:10calendar, throwing visitors from around the world. Here it's not just the
00:15champion horses and jockeys that take the spotlight, it's Liverpool's best
00:19dressed as they turn heads with their fearless, fabulous fashion.
00:24It's just the best vibes ever. Well I came in for the first time last year
00:29and I just thought the atmosphere was amazing, the Liverpoolians are so welcoming
00:34and it's just an amazing experience. So yeah that made me want to come all the
00:38way back from the south. And the glamour. And the glamour. It's all about the glamour.
00:43Buzzing! Everyone's happy to be in. Everyone looks gorgeous. Yeah, stunning. Everyone's put an effort in, everyone's done good energy, good work. Yeah, especially with the sun out.
00:51While there is no official dress code, organisers encourage racegoers to come
00:56dressed to feel your best. This year British fashion icon River Island
01:01returned once again as the official style partner of Ladies' Day with prizes
01:05awarded for both best dressed and most sustainably dressed. There's high stakes
01:09for those showcasing their fashion flair.
01:13I think it's just the outfit. The outfit, the vibe. Everyone just having a ball. Still celebrating girls, isn't it? Yeah.
01:21So I made this hat. I'm a milliner from Ascot and maybe if I was wearing this a
01:27month ago I might have gone for like red and black or something but I thought
01:32it's coming into spring now I want to brighten it up a little bit. So I started
01:37this hat a couple of weeks ago. Took me ages. From the moment you step onto the
01:41racecourse the buzz of anticipation fills the air. It's a day where the
01:46thrill of high-stakes racing meets a dazzling spectacle of fashion creating
01:51moments and memories that will last a lifetime. It's a day you're full of
01:55excitement where the racing is only part of the experience, the lively
01:59entertainment, opportunities to mix with friends old and new and of course the
02:04chance to take part in a piece of Liverpool's history. It's in Liverpool,
02:10best city in the world. But we live in Phuket in Thailand. Yeah. So we just come
02:16and visit England to go to the races. And it's a great day out. We don't live in
02:21Liverpool, we live in Wales. So it's great to come home and see a spectacle
02:26as it is now. I remember it when it was a car boot sale on a Sunday and it was
02:31right round the course so it's great to see it all developed and giving
02:36Liverpool a great name. Ladies' Day, we've got to come to Ladies' Day. We don't want to dress up, we just want to be amongst the buying.
02:43Ladies' Day, an iconic part of the Randox Grand National Festival, continues to
02:48offer the ultimate blend of glamour, excitement and unforgettable moments.
02:52It's not just a day to watch, it's a day to be part of the action.
