Most likely the hats worn then at Ascot are like what you would see on women who go say to the Kentucky Derby each year in other words, a lot more simple.

The hats were covered in feathers, ribbons and big silk flowers but tastefully so. However there have been hairdos and hats in history that were ridiculous.

Like this pic. It is historically accurate. They used to put bird cages and ships in their hair when it was built that high, right in the middle of the "beehive". But not at Ascot. :-)
