I'm a royal fashion expert and these are the outfits I'm wearing to Henley Regatta
Henley Royal Regatta is the most prestigious rowing event in the world - the crown jewel of both the summer sporting calendar and the UK's social season. Attracting over 300,000 visitors each year, it hosts more than 400 races across six days of elite competition. The event also boasts a long-standing royal connection, having been granted the title 'Royal' in 1851 when Prince Albert became its first royal patron. Since then, every reigning monarch has upheld this tradition. The Regatta has also welcomed numerous royal visitors over the years, including the Princess Royal in 2010. Style is a key part of the experience, with two main enclosures offering differing dress codes. In the exclusive Stewards' Enclosure, a formal dress code is in place: women are expected to wear dresses or skirts below the knee, tailored jackets with trousers or trouser suits. While not mandatory, hats are typically worn. The Regatta Enclosure offers a more relaxed atmosphere, where attendees often embrace classic nautical looks, summer tailoring and elegant dresses. With this in mind, I've pulled together six outfits that are stylish, event-appropriate and guaranteed to turn heads - whatever your personal taste. Outfit one This fashion-forward ensemble features a striking burnt orange jumpsuit from Reiss. The cinched waist and dramatic wide leg create a flattering silhouette, enhanced by the sporty side stripe. Rich chocolate and gold accessories add a refined, polished finish. Outfit two Channel timeless nautical style with this striped shirt dress from Crew Clothing - a nod to their official partnership with the Henley Royal Regatta. I've styled it with a minimal straw bag, classic boater hat and tan knot-detail sandals to keep the look fresh and on-theme. Outfit three Polka dots are a perennial summer favourite, and this Sézane dress offers an elegant spin with its square neckline and skimming fit. I've paired it with complementary heels, a playful visor and a colour pop bag for a touch of vibrance. Outfit four This tonal look is built around Jigsaw's powder pink collarless linen suit, currently on sale. Burgundy accessories from Mango add depth and contrast, while a chic floral headband from Karen Millen finishes the outfit with a modern twist. Outfit five Effortless and easy to wear, this look is perfect for those who are short on time. The Boden dress features an elaborate blue and white floral print, supportive wide straps and a flattering tie waist. Comfortable espadrille wedges, a mini basket bag and bucket hat complete the laid-back vibe. Outfit six Take a cue from the Princess of Wales and wear a single colour from head to toe. I've chosen a sophisticated puff sleeve midi dress from Phase Eight, paired with Tabitha Simmons x Next slingbacks and a wide-brimmed hat from John Lewis for added drama. I couldn't resist the ME+EM bag - the pearl handle detail is stunning.

Calgary Rowing Club headed to England for Henley Royal Regatta
The Calgary Rowing Club will be heading across the pond to England, as they gear up for the 2025 Henley Royal Regatta set for the first week in July. Article content The Henley Royal first started in 1839, and is an annual rowing event that takes place on the River Thames by the town Henley-on-Thames in England. Article content Article content The annual four-day rowing event is always held on the first week of July. This year it will run (or row) from July 1 to 6. Article content Article content Although water around the city freezes for over half of the year, the Calgary Rowing Club is the second largest rowing club in all of Canada. Article content Article content 'We're sending a total of 22 athletes, which is really exciting,' Davis said. 'The last time we, the Calgary Rowing Club, sent any boats to the Henley Royal was in 2017, where they sent a women's eight, and before that, I believe it was in 1992 we sent our last boat. And last year, they sent the men's four, who's also going again this year.' Article content Although the men's team that competed last year lost to the eventual champions in the third round, Davis said their performance at the event is still a huge accomplishment. Article content Davis said many of their members who participated in the Henley Royal eventually moved on to represent Canada in varying capacities. Article content Article content 'Two of which were Olympic gold and silver medalists in the last two Olympics, we had a Pan Am medalist who competed in that, and they all competed for Team Canada,' Davis said. 'So, I view this as sort of a stepping stone.' Article content The regatta serves as a peak event for athletes before they begin entering national team prospects, including World Cups, World Championships, and even the Olympics. Article content A regatta itself is a series of races. Over the summer season, rowing is raced over a distance of 2,000 metres. The Henley Royal, however, has a distance of 2,112 metres. Article content As a unique dual-style race, Davis said each race is done by one boat at a time in a knock-out style format.
