Her hat stood <br />out and was in fact, quite a head-turner. <br /><br />“I got this hat from the USA. I have been coming to the Derby since I was a child and my style quotient changes every year. This is one of the events in the City where everyone comes out in their dresses and hats. It’s nice to see the splash of colours here,” she said.<br />The style quotient varied from one stand to another.

She had accessorised it well with a brown leather belt. “This is my first time at the derby and I am having loads of fun.
