Mad Hatters
Some attendees at the 291-year-old Royal Ascot horse races in Berkshire, England, last week got a dressing down for outfits that weren't up to code: hats for women, top hats and morning coats for men. The tradition-bound Queen instructed officials to bounce a BBC camera team from her official paddock because the men sported open collars. Also turned away were Rod Stewart, in a blue-striped coat, and his girlfriend, hatless photographer Penny Lancaster, left. The couple didn't intend to enter the paddock, Lancaster said, but "just got a bit lost." Of no concern to anyone, apparently, was the guest with an enormous strawberry on her head.
