Ladies Day is the second day of the 2023 Grand National, with the main race taking place tomorrow.
The masses will be hoping the rain holds off, with many women looking stylish in stilettos and fascinators.
According to the Jockey Club, the dress code at Aintree is very inclusive.
The website states: “At Aintree Racecourse we believe racing should be enjoyed by anyone and everyone.
“And one thing is certainly true, the more relaxed and comfortable we feel, the more likely we are to have a great time.
“So that’s why we’ve created one very simple piece of guidance, to come ‘dressed to feel your best’.
“So wear what feels right for you and will keep you feeling your best from start to finish, whatever the weather.”

Fancy dress is also encouraged, but they add: “please avoid inappropriate or offensive outfits, as anything deemed vulgar or derogatory may be refused entry.”
The Grand National, which will kick off at 5.15pm on Saturday afternoon, remains arguably the biggest horse race in the world.
The event, which traditionally features 40 horses, has been running since 1839 and around a third of the UK is expected to put at least one bet on this year’s race.
A YouGov survey conducted by Online Betting Guide found one in four British men plan to have a punt on the racing, while one in 10 women said they would be placing a bet.

Last year’s winner was an eye-opener as Noble Yeats, ridden by amateur jockey Sam Waley-Cohen triumphed and was priced at a huge 50-1.
Winning the Grand National was a fairytale ending to Sam Waley-Cohen’s career as a jockey.
In 2021 Rachael Blackmore became the first-ever female jockey to win the Grand National.
