Grand National 2019: Guests risk wardrobe malfunctions as they battle strong wind at races

Today is the start of the Grand National 2019 and guests have already been making their way to the event to kick off celebrations. The Grand National main event will take place on Saturday, but a number of stylish guests are already celebrating ahead of the weekend races. The races will take place on Saturday, but some people are much more interested in what the guests are wearing and many have put on their glad rags to go to Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. Not put off by the cold and damp weather, some guests even appear to have left their coats at home.

Some guest have prioritised looking stylish over being warm today as many have chosen to wear sleeveless dresses.

One woman was dressed to the nines a bold red dress and strappy heels.

The sleeveless dress nipped in at the waist and featured a slit up the front, leaving both her legs and arms exposed to the freezing conditions.

Another woman opted for a similar look and bared her arms in a fit-and-flare floral dress and pink headpiece.

Other guests chose to wear a more conservative outfit as they headed to the racecourse.

Wearing a black pleated midi-skirt, one woman paired this with a long camel coat that cut off just above the ankle.

Another guest covered up a knee-length red wrap dress with a thick cream cardigan.

Despite wearing layers, this was not enough to help her battle the weather and she looked windswept in the intense weather conditions.

Another fashionable attendee turned up for the event dressed for spring in a light blue body con dress.

With lace sleeves, she appeared to have left her jacket at home.
