Aishwarya, who has lost oodles of weight post baby a year and a half ago, was chic in her dress but plumped for low key black and white combo. Still playing it safe, is she?

She complimented her stunning monochrome dress with a chic Wilbur & Gussie 'Nugget' box clutch. The fashionable clutch is available to buy at www.wilburandgussie.com.

The 39-year-old Indian actress was in the presence of such royalty as Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Beatrice, and Princess Eugenie at the event where legendary horse trainer Henry Cecil was honored after losing his battle to cancer last week.

The Queen cut a fashionable figure on day one of Royal Ascot as she appeared in a fondant pink suit - joined by Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, but without the Duke of Edinburgh.

Ash, who is the brand ambassador of Longines, wore an elegant black and white knee length lace dress.

Aishwarya wore her fascinator well while attending day one of the Royal Ascot held at the Ascot Racecourse on Tuesday (June 18) in Ascot, England.

Hemlines will be policed by Royal Ascot's dress code assistants who will ensure sartorial standards are met. Rules include knee length skirts, straps of at least 2.5 inches wide and big hats, particularly in Royal Enclosure.

One unfortunate racegoer, a man in a floral headpiece, was ejected by Ascot's fashion police.
