Ответ:

Royal Ascot is a famous high-society horse-racing event that takes place for five days every June in Ascot, a town west of London. It is considered the 'jewel in the crown' of British horse-racing, known for its big wins, astonishing outfits, and the personal attendance of the monarch. It is Europe's most popular horse-racing event, attracting hundreds of thousands of race-goers.

At Royal Ascot, people attend horse races, where horses compete for significant prize money, impacting the careers of trainers and jockeys. Beyond the racing, it is also a huge fashion show, especially on 'Ladies Day', where women's attire receives extensive media coverage.

Regarding what people wear, there is a strict dress code. Men are required to wear morning coats and top hats. Ladies wear formal dresses and hats, with the hats often featuring extravagant and outrageous designs.

Королевский Аскот — это знаменитое светское мероприятие по скачкам, которое проводится в течение пяти дней каждый июнь в Аскоте, городке к западу от Лондона. Оно считается «жемчужиной короны» британских скачек, известным своими крупными выигрышами, поразительными нарядами и личным присутствием монарха. Это самое популярное событие по скачкам в Европе, привлекающее сотни тысяч посетителей.

На Королевском Аскоте люди посещают скачки, где лошади соревнуются за значительные призовые деньги, что влияет на карьеру тренеров и жокеев. Помимо скачек, это также огромное модное шоу, особенно в «Женский день», когда наряды женщин получают обширное освещение в прессе.

Что касается того, что люди носят, существует строгий дресс-код. Мужчины обязаны носить утренние сюртуки и цилиндры. Дамы носят вечерние платья и шляпы, причем шляпы часто отличаются экстравагантным и эпатажным дизайном.
