The Prix de Diane is famous for its old-fashioned atmosphere on race day, everyone comes dressed as if we were still in the Victorian era.
A competition is held to decide who will be this year’s "Diane" with the main criteria being the beauty and complexity of the hat. Hats are the main focus of the event.
Men also dress elegantly, often attending either to enjoy the horse races or to accompany their ladies participating in the elegance competition.
I chose black and white to try to recreate the look of a bygone era, as if this event could almost not be placed in modern time.
