Stephanie Beacham and Mary Jane Atkinson-Willes

Actress Stephanie Beacham is currently in Lady Windermere's Fan at the Chichester Festival Theatre but she'll still find time for Ascot. "I'm so thrilled to have discovered Sarah Spencer. The shapes are classical and fabrics so soft that if I wear an outfit together with a pair of tried and tested shoes, I know I will be comfortable - which makes for a great day out. The secret is to look as good at the end of the day as at the start. Sarah's bright fresh colours sum up that feeling."

Mary Jane, designer at Sarah Spencer, says: "I think Stephanie has great style and always carries herself wonderfully. We also dress Clare Balding who is the BBC Ascot commentator. This year we've added quirky details such as double buttons, mandarin collars and split skirts and we've sold far more colour than usual, particularly blue."
