Amy Childs Does Royal Ascot And Keeps It Classy In Optical Illusion Dress (PICS)

Amy Does Ascot

Amy Childs better not be going all high brow on us.

Not only did she pay a visit to those politicians at the House Of Commons yesterday, the former TOWIE star has now rocked up at Royal Ascot, and looking rather classy too may we add.

The star was sporting a verrry on-trend white optical illusion dress as she braved the rain at Ladies Day.

Not that her hair stood a chance of getting wet with the size of that hat.

Her dress - aimed to help emphasise a curvy silhouette - is similar to those worn in the past by the likes of Kim Kardashian and Kate Winslet.

Amy has recently been defending her fellow Essex star Mark Wright and his highly criticised ITV2 series Mark Wright's Hollywood Nights.

Writing in her new! magazine column, she hailed the show as "brilliant". On your own love.

"I don't know why Mark Wright got so much bad press over his show," she said. "I think it is brilliant.

"Ok, so some bits in the first episode were a little cheesy, but it's filmed in Hollywood, so it's to be expected."
