If the Queen had chanced to glance across the parade ground as she entered in her Royal carriage this afternoon, she would have been met by a most unlikely sight.

A group of six deeply tanned women were spotted at the entrance of the royal race course, posing for photographs wearing skintight blue all-in-ones that looked for all the world like futuristic smurf suits. 

If that wasn’t enough to make the Queen blanch, the sextet were handing fliers and stickers to local strip club Tantric Blue to bemused racegoers as they entered the grounds.

Thankfully for the delicate constitution of the more genteel guests (but no doubt to the disappointment of others), the lycra-clad women were quickly dispatched by officials who disapproved of the scantily clad women promoting the so-called gentleman’s club outside the event.

Tantric Blue, which claims to be the largest club of its kind outside central London, is based in Heathrow, on the borders of Surrey, Berkshire and London, and boasts of its ‘upscale adult entertainment’.

A spokesman today said the girls were ‘made up’ at being able to join in the fun today.

‘They made their blue catsuits two weeks ago to get ready,’ they told MailOnline. ‘They looked really striking – I’m not surprised they caused a stir.’

‘We have a love-hate relationship
with Ascot,’ said Tantric Blue manager Annmarie Harris. ‘We love them,
but they don’t like us! They have a certain dress code and our dress
code doesn’t meet the criteria.

‘But we really don’t mean to offend
anyone. We come every year for a bit of fun. We have great banter with
the security when we are there. They understand it’s great titillation
for the crowds – it’s all harmless.

‘We didn’t realise when we had our
catsuits made that the dress code has been changed and ladies were no
longer allowed to show their shoulders. They must have thought “Jesus
Christ!” when they saw us coming up the road.’

‘But we all love going to Ascot and
meeting everyone. It’s really nice place to be. We are very blingy this
year – we’ve had lots of comments from everyone, but they’ve all been
really flattering. We were interviewed by the racing reporters to go on
television too, which was really exciting.’

What happens when the smurfs are your style icon

Giving racegoers the blues: The girls, who were doling out the risque promotional material to Ascot racegoers outside the grounds, were drastically underdressed for the genteel occasion

Inside the course, an
immaculate team of 60 young women (with a few young men thrown in) in
uniforms of purple linen dresses and jackets from High Street store
Hobbs, along with Ilda Di Vico hats, enforced the new dress code for race goers.

The
fashion officers – who preferred to be called ‘dress code assistants’ –
prowled the entrances carrying baskets packed with colourful
fascinators, pashminas and ties. Guests who fell short of the dress code
for the grandstand were given appropriate attire for free. 

Meanwhile,
anyone heading for the royal enclosure who had failed to bring a hat
was ushered discreetly to an office in which there was a huge array to
choose from for a £50 deposit. However, as no identification was taken,
one assistant admitted she was ‘not that hopeful’ of getting them all
back.

Despite the kerfuffle outside the course, Ascot’s head of communications, Nick Smith, declared himself ‘delighted
with the standard of dress’.

He said: ‘We always said that we would adopt the new rules sensitively,
using common sense and discretion, especially in the first year, and
that is what we are doing.

‘The most important thing is that people have an enjoyable time.’

‘Just as people did on the opening day of Royal Ascot, everyone seemed to really enjoy dressing to their best and were treated to a great day’s racing,’ he said.

‘We didn’t quite have a Royal winner, but it was fantastic for everyone here celebrating the Diamond Jubilee to see The Queen’s Carlton House run a tremendous second in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes. She has another chance tomorrow with Momentary who will be ridden by crowd favourite Hayley Turner.’

Cream of the crop: Prince Harry’s former flames Florence Brudenell …

She’s been pictured numerous times wearing nothing but underwear, but today Prince Harry’s former flame Florence Brudenell-Bruce channelled her more demure side as she attended day two of Royal Ascot.

Wearing a buttoned-up cream jacket, below-the-knee Missoni dress and cut-out heels, the 26-year-old lingerie model struck an elegant pose as she stopped for pictures at the gates of the Berkshire race course. She topped her classic ensemble with a striking feather headpiece by Jane Taylor, one of the Royals’ favourite milliners, which featured a black plume of feathers bold bloom.

Once inside the grounds she joined a number of celebrity guests which included her ex-boyfriend Jenson Button. She dated the Formula 1 racing driver for 18 months before before their split in 2008. But the two kept a clear distance, and Button was seen wandering around hand in hand with long-term girlfriend Jessica Michibata.

The Japanese fashion model was easily visible in a bright blood orange shift, and feminine netted hat.

Although outrageous hats have become
synonymous with the annual horse racing event – this year the designs
have proved particularly modest.

With a strict new dress code enforced it seems many racegoers have been more cautious with their choice of attire.

And although some
racegoers in rule-breaking wares have apparently slipped through the net,
Ascot’s head of communications, Nick Smith, declared himself ‘delighted
with the standard of dress’.

He
added: ‘We always said that we would adopt the new rules sensitively,
using common sense and discretion, especially in the first year, and
that is what we are doing. The most important thing is that people have an enjoyable time.’

Some of the most flamboyant racegoers spotted so far include model Anneka Tanaka-Svenska who opted for £3,000 bird-cage outfit created by milliner Louis Mariett.

Simon Cowell’s ex-girlfriend Jackie St Clair has also sported some wacky headwear. For the first day of Ascot she opted for an over-sized Union Flag bow to top off her bright blue ensemble and today she confidently wore a larger than life floral hat.

Royal Ascot’s Ladies’ Day, held this year on Thursday, will no doubt see the most outlandish outfits.

Explaining the new dress code Charles Barnett, chief executive of Ascot, added: ‘Ascot is Europe’s flagship race meeting and one of the world’s greatest sporting and social events. We have tried to provide an appropriate dress code that is clear, workable and in line with the wishes of racegoers.

‘Over the last few months, a huge amount of planning has gone in to making sure that the implementation of the new code goes as smoothly as possible. During the meeting itself, our team of special dress code assistants will help people with any queries that they may have.

Meanwhile,
anyone heading for the royal enclosure who had failed to bring a hat
was ushered discreetly to an office in which there was a huge array to
choose from for a £50 deposit.
