Coleen raises the fashion stakes at Aintree

Coleen was first past the post in the fashion stakes on Ladies Day at the Aintree races with a dramatic burnt orange Grecian gown.

Flanked by friends and family as she enjoyed a day at the world famous race course, Coleen pulled out all the stops by hiring a stretched limo and a fleet of cars for her entourage.

But Wayne Rooney's favourite girl was not the only fine filly to set hearts racing.

Coleen's fellow WAG Alex Curran made sure she frilled onlookers with a multi-layered cream number that showed plenty of leg.

A fine array of spectacular outfits bedazzled onlookers on a gloriously sunny day in Liverpool.

Some were thoroughbreds in the art of haute couture, others proved to be mere fashion foals with a lot to learn.

Here's a lorra lorra leg!

In the now traditional Ladies Day the glamour stakes were high, and the odds of seeing a famous face or two were always going to be good to firm.

Tomorrow sees the biggest race in the British sporting calender at Aintree - the Grand National - where millions make their once-a-year bet, only to invariably see their pick fall at the first fence.

And judging by the rather stern expression on Coleen's face as she made her way around the enclosure today she hadn't managed to back any winners this time.
