FEATURE STYLE
We caught up with two seasoned Cheltenham Festival goers, the ultra-stylish TV presenters, Rosie Tapner and Frankie Foster, to get their top Festival fashion tips Festival fashion W hen it comes to Festival trends, there’s a lot to consider – the perfect hat, the right shoes… the list goes on. Here is what Rosie and Frankie think are ‘Festival staples’:

Last but not least, Rosie’s top three is finished off with the perfect accessory. “A good handbag! This is actually quite underrated. But a good bag that’s not too big to carry your essentials like your phone, your race card and extra layers.
