From feathers to flowers, the fascinators were fabulous at the Belmont Stakes.

The only thing that could possibly take attention away from the eventual Triple Crown winner, Justify, was the phenomenal fashion on display in the grandstands.

Some ladies had obviously worked hard to make sure their hats matched their outfits perfectly.

Feathers were definitely the overarching theme of the fashionistas at Belmont Park.

Of course, men had some phenomenal hats themselves. But a few decided to dress more whimsically.
