Fashion stakes are high at Royal Ascot but we’re not placing our bets on Kristina Rihanoff

The stars are out for Royal Ascot. Strictly Come Dancing's Kristina Rihanoff was pictured wearing a blue and white flapper style dress made out of betting slips, which she teamed with a big red hat and nude heels.

The Russian dancer was clearly excited about showcasing the creative ensemble as she took to Twitter this morning to say: "On my way to @RoyalAscot !! Wearing a fantastic creation by @bendelisi !!"

But her excitement at showcasing her outfit by American fashion designer Ben de Lisi was cut short when security asked her to change her dress. They promptly covered her in a black blazer and she was ushered away.

Spaghetti straps and hemlines high above the knee are not permitted – which is probably why the 36-year-old was escorted to a changing room.
