Glam racegoers dress to the nines for the Grand National in sky high fascinators as the sun shines o |

IT'S the final day of the Grand National and stylish racegoers are pulling out all the stops to get ahead in the style stakes.

Hundreds of glamorous fillies descended on Aintree Racecourse for the world famous steeple chase on Saturday.

Big hats were naturally the order of the day with heads atop with fancy feathers, ribbons and even a dart board.

But it wasn't just hats that were sporting feathers with several female guests adorned with feather cuffs.

And while the millinery was sky high it was no match for some of the hemlines, with ladies eager to top up their tans in the spring sunshine.

The world famous event had also attracted a few famous faces with Hollyoaks' Jorgie Porter wowing crowds in Liverpool today.

The soap star stunned in a nude ruffle mini dress and a striking khaki cape.

Following yesterday's downpour in Liverpool guests were keen to make the most of the good weather with bottles being popped at early doors.

Groups of giggling guests could be seen enjoying a tipple or two before the clocks hit midday as they prepared for an afternoon of frivolity.

And as the day wore on some of the guests abandoned their heels to take a much needed break on the tarmac, where they continued to enjoy a drink.

With the historic race sure to be viewed across the world, the female attendees appeared to stop at nothing to get themselves noticed.

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 this 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.
