Maura Higgins Wore Sabina Bilenko Couture To Royal Ascot 2026

Maura Higgins’ style is usually defined by high-impact glamour, body-conscious silhouettes and looks that know exactly how to command attention. For Day 3 of Royal Ascot, however, we saw a side of her style I don’t think we’ve seen before.

The Irish reality star wore a custom Sabina Bilenko Couture look that fully embraced the art of occasion dressing.

The ivory dress, with its sculpted bodice, puff sleeves and sweeping skirt, already carried plenty of presence, but it was the dramatic wide-brimmed hat and opera gloves that elevated the look from elegant to unforgettable.

What surprised me most is how naturally this look sits on her. If you had told me a year ago that Maura Higgins would be one of the standout dressers at Royal Ascot in a full-skirted couture gown and dramatic hat, I’m not sure I would have believed you.

The proportions, styling and confidence all come together to create a look that feels authentic.

Royal Ascot is one of the few events where fashion can still embrace this level of ceremony, and Maura fully understood that. Against the backdrop of Berkshire sunshine, immaculate lawns and grandstand elegance, the look felt entirely at home.

Many attendees arrive beautifully dressed. Few create a fashion moment that feels so intrinsically linked to the event itself. This was one of them.
