Race to the wackiest hat at Royal Ascot. And the English Royals also parade

As is by now tradition, at Royal Ascot 2014, the most followed and important equestrian event in the world that is taking place in England these days, there is also the usual parade of extravagant and bizarre hats sported by the most prominent English ladies of the "high society.

Butterflies, flowers and geometric shapes in fact, bright colors and extra dimensions have adorned the heads of the women present at the event, who, as in every edition, have drawn attention to themselves and their "artistic" accessories. Among them, there were also the English royals, who stood out, however, with the rest of those present for a decidedly more sober and bon ton style.

Here is the gallery with all the photos of the most bizarre and extravagant hats of Royal Ascot 2014. What do you think? Are you for the saying "Too much is good" or do you appreciate a pinch of excess?
