Queen Elizabeth II loves a good coordinated look, and her latest appearance at this year’s Royal Ascot was no exception.

For Day 2 of the racing event, the Queen chose a powder blue Stewart Parvin dress topped off with a coordinating Rachel Trevor Morgan hat adorned with white and purple flowers.

Other members of the Royal Family including Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, also appeared in shades of blue to make this a stylish family outing.

To fend off the rain throughout the event The Queen reached for her trusty Fulton umbrella in a coordinating shade to match her outfit, as she’s often seen doing. A fan of the brand since 1993, The Fulton Birdcage has been Her Majesty’s umbrella of choice for public appearances and special events ever since.

The Queen is so enthusiastic, in fact, that she even took a tour of the Fulton factory back in 2009 with her husband Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh.
