Grand National 2024: 19 incredible outfits, dresses and hats worn at the Aintree races in recent years

The Randox Grand National is fast approaching, with just a week to go until thousands of excited racegoers descend on Aintree Racecourse. Running from April 11 to 13, the main race will take place on the final day, but the highly-anticipated event is more than just horse racing. Known for being one the biggest occasions in the social calendar, the three-day extravaganza sees attendees don their finest garments, with many outfits planned months and months in advance.

Surprisingly, The Grand National doesn't have a dress code, with Its website stating: "There’s no official dress code at The Grand National. We encourage you to come dressed to feel your best! Aintree is a spectacle of colour for all three days of the festival, with many using their trip as an opportunity to showcase their favourite raceday looks.” Do keep in mind though that inappropriate or offensive outfits are not allowed and attendees should avoid wearing team colours and sports kits.
