Aishwarya Rai is so beautiful that sometimes it's hard to believe that she's real. Here she at Royal Ascot opening (earlier today), making me wish for an event that justifies such a hat. The dress is also adorable, and Aishwarya always sports the perfect makeup.
Bollywood actress and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai Bachchan looked stunning in a black and white lace dress on day one of the Royal Ascot horse race meeting in Berkshire, west of London.
The gorgeous actress has been a regular at the race meeting since 2009, representing watch brand Longines for which she is the brand "Ambassador of Elegance" over the last 10 years. Longines is said to be the official timekeeper of Royal Ascot.
Aishwarya, who has shed oodles of post-baby weight, looked dashing in her dress and wore a pretty black and white floral hat.
The Royal ascot meeting is held annually, since 1711, at the famous Berkshire course. It is one of the prestigious sporting events in the world. More than 300,000 visitors are expected to attend the event which is held for five days.
The first day meeting commences on a Tuesday and at the beginning of each race day there will be a royal procession, wherein the Queen and the various members of the British royal family will arrive in horse-drawn carriages.
On the first day of this year's meeting, Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall arrived at the Ascot race course. But, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, was missing as he had been recovering from abdominal surgery. He is expected to convalesce at the hospital for at least a week. The Prince is said to have cancelled his royal commitments for two months to take rest, reported UK website Mirror.
The other members of the royal family including Princess Eugenie, Prince Andrew, Sophie (Countess of Wessex) and Princesses Beatrice as well as British singer Katherine Jenkins attended the first day of the race meeting.
Prince William and Kate Middleton have skipped the meeting as they are preparing for the arrival of their baby in July.
