Who wore what? Galloping elegance race in Gazi

The famous names who showed off their styles in the race where not only thoroughbreds but also fashion galloped, stole the show from the jockeys. The guests who showed up at the event which was a sports organization as well as a tribute to the 'Hat Revolution' carried out by Atatürk, also caught the fashion designers' radar. Pınar Kerimoğlu evaluated the chic and tacky who shared the excitement of the race from the private box of İstanbul Veliefendi Hipodrom.com for Milliyet readers.

EXTRAORDINARY TOUCH

Aybüke Yılmaz evokes the 50s American pin-up aesthetic with her white polka dot, deep V-neck and mini skirt dress. Although she is 'too mini' for a classic and traditional event, she is young, energetic and striking. She told her own story by adding an unusual touch to her style with her black and white minimal hat and transparent gloves.

LADY OF THE RACE

Tülin Şahin's look is a true Gazi Race classic... Noble, refined and completed with a hat show. Her dress, which offers a modern elegance, offers a true 'Horse Race Lady' line. The star of the visual is definitely her dramatic hat. It is large but not unbalanced, it is in place. It is the kind that makes you say, "The outfit doesn't talk, the stance does."

CLASSIC LADY

Nurgul Yeşilcay's combination is a perfect example of 'Classic lady elegance'. Her baby blue, satiny, lavender toned dress is perfectly in line with the aristocratic atmosphere of the Gazi Race. The knee length and slit length are just right. The large leaf shaped hat in blue-green tones is eye-catching with both its color transitions and its forms. The tulle and feather details add a dignified air to the hat.

FUNCTIONAL AND STYLISH

Aslı Bekiroğlu looks like she stepped out of an old romantic movie. Her wide-collared, button-down top adds a nostalgic air. Her wide-brimmed straw hat is finished with a bow detail in the same tones. It is both functional (sun protection) and stylish. It has a literary air that you would expect to see on the page of a book, not in front of a camera.

DOSE OF ELEGANCE

Merve Dizdar's style is a modern reflection of 'retro elegance'. Cream-colored, short-sleeved, above-the-knee dress; both feminine and simple. Her mini hat, adorned with tulle details in burgundy and purple tones, balances the simplicity of the dress. Perfectly in line with the traditional elegance theme of the Gazi Race.
