Harriet Phillips attended the final day of Royal Ascot with her new husband, Peter Phillips, but the star looked like she might have been about to marry the businessman again.
Harriet, 45, looked beautiful in a bridal chic outfit, consisting of a white Beulah dress with a semi-sheer section and a netted hat from Jane Taylor. The NHS nurse finished her look off with jewellery from Pragnell, shoes from Manolo Blahnik x Emilia Wickstead and a STOW London bag.
The jewellery also had a subtle hint to her wedding, with the brand designing Harriet's trilogy engagement ring, just as they had done for the late Queen Elizabeth II in 1946.
Harriet's husband also wouldn't have looked out of place at a wedding, wearing a sharp suit, completed with a top hat.

The pair weren't the only royals to have headed to Ascot to mark its final day, with King Charles and Queen Camilla leading the carriage procession, while the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester were also in attendance. It was a special moment for the Duchess, who is marking her 80th birthday.
Harriet's wedding dress
For her big day, Harriet stunned in an Emilia Wickstead gown featuring a high square neckline, long lace sleeves and a sweeping veil, teamed with matching white Jimmy Choo heels. She paired her beautiful bridal ensemble with a vintage diamond and pearl tiara loaned by Pragnell.
The bespoke column dress took 140 hours to make with gorgeous white lace hand-applied throughout.
Designer Emilia Wickstead shared special details behind the design, revealing the custom wedding gown was "developed from initial sketch to final creation, fitted in our private salon on Sloane Street and crafted entirely by our in-house team at our West London atelier."
"An intentional dialogue between tradition and modernity runs throughout the design," the designer explained on Instagram, sharing that the incredible three-metre train was inspired by the early 19th century.

The lace is meticulously hand-applied throughout."
The designer continued: "Its heritage traces back to the early 1900s, following the invention and patenting of the revolutionary Leavers loom in Britain. Scalloped lace appliqué enhances the gown’s architectural, sculptural lines, extending across the neckline and cuffs.
