The historic turf of Royal Ascot witnessed a major high-fashion takeover this week, and it wasnât just the bloodline royals turning heads. Love Island alumna and television personality Maura Higgins completely hijacked the style conversation after debuting a jaw-dropping, custom all-white ensemble for the prestigious Ladies Day.
Stepping out onto the Berkshire grounds, the 35-year-old star delivered a masterclass in modern corporate elegance blended with traditional monarchical silhouettes, easily solidifying her place as one of the most polished guests of the entire racing event.
A Masterpiece Collaboration with London’s Elite Designers
Mauraâs breath-taking look was anchored by a pristine white gown meticulously crafted by luxury London fashion house Sabina Bilenko. The reality star later revealed that she had personally collaborated with the design team to bring the garment to life.
The structural dress featured a structured, buttoned bodice that cascaded into a dramatic, sweeping wide skirt, effortlessly echoing mid-century glamour. Exuding sophisticated drama, the gown also boasted statement puff sleeves, striking the perfect balance between strict racing protocol and avant-garde style.
To elevate the old-school Hollywood aesthetic, Maura accessorized with flawless white opera gloves and completed her monochromatic palette with matching heels from high-street favorite Dune.
âA vision brought to life for Royal Ascot,â Maura elegantly captioned a social media gallery displaying her race-day attire.
Of course, no Royal Ascot ensemble is complete without show-stopping headwear. Maura finalized her look with an imposing, bespoke wide-brimmed hat courtesy of the acclaimed London-based Jane Taylor Milliner, capturing the very essence of aristocratic refinement.
Fans Explode Online: “Get This Girl Her Crown!”
The internet instantly went into a frenzy over the transformation, with thousands of fans rushing to the comments section to praise her impeccably classy pivot away from standard reality TV glam.

“An actual princess!!!! Get this girl her crown,” one fan enthusiastically demanded.

Another mesmerized follower chimed in: “She is officially in her princess era.”

True Bloodline Royalty Graces the Event
While Maura dominated the celebrity fashion charts, actual British royalty was out in full force throughout the high-profile week.

Meanwhile, the dynamic shifted on Wednesday for day two of the races, where the Princess of Wales spectacularly stole the show, radiating pure sunshine in a vibrant yellow ensemble that similarly left fashion critics breathless.
