Revellers looked resplendent in a melange of bright colours and sophisticated headwear as the sun shone down on the course in Chichester - and their efforts didn't go unnoticed by some rather giddy security guards.
Two sartorially clued-up women caught the eye of some armed policemen as they entered the course on day one of the racing extravaganza.
The Qatar Goodwood Festival is touted as the sporting and social highlight of the racing calendar with five thrilling days of world-class horseracing and elegant fashion - and men and women certainly didn't disappoint in the style stakes.
Elegant ladies donned figure-hugging bandage dresses in an array of bold shades and offset with feathered fascinators and designer accessories.
Security was tight as armed police patrolled the grounds - with some even posing alongside high-spirited revellers.
A feast of top quality racing attracts the best equine athletes in the world accompanied by the biggest names in the sport.
The Tuesday highlight is the newest Group 1, the Qatar Goodwood Cup worth £500,000 with Big Orange hoping to win the race for a third year running.
