Maura Higgins gushed that her 'vision was brought to life' with the My Fair Lady-inspired outfit she wore for Royal Ascot Ladies Day on Thursday.

The former Love Island star, 35, cut a glamorous figure in a custom white Sabina Bilenko Couture dress and a matching wide-brimmed hat and gloves as she posed for snaps at the racecourse.

She later shared images from the day to Instagram and penned in the caption: 'A vision brought to life for Royal Ascot.' 

Maura played the classic song to the 1964 film starring Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle over the top of her post. 

She joined the likes of Holly Willoughby - who also wore a stunning white ensemble -, Stanley Tucci and Georgia Toffolo at the star-studded event. 

Some of the celeb attendees would have joined society names in the Royal Enclosure - the most exclusive area of the racecourse, which has its own strict dress code. 

While no dress code rules apply in the Windsor Enclosure, although the majority of guests choose to dress up regardless, a strict dress code operates across the Royal and Queen Anne Enclosures. 

Ladies must wear 'a dress or skirt falling just above the knee or longer' and 'shoulder straps that are a minimum width of 1 inch / 2.5cm,' along with 'a hat or headpiece with a solid base of four inches in diameter.'

'Fascinators are not permitted. Novelty hats (i.e. ones which are excessively oversized, or are promoting or marketing any product or brand) are not permitted.'

Strapless, off-the-shoulder and one-shoulder items are also banned in the Royal and Queen Anne Enclosures. 

Shorts of any kind are not permitted. But having been included in the dress code since 1971, trouser suits remain a popular choice - although they mustn't be mismatched.

The event's official look book this year was curated by menswear specialist Daniel Fletcher, who has previously designed for the likes of Louis Vuitton, JW Anderson and Victoria Beckham.

The guide outlines the dos and don'ts of dressing for the annual event, and for the first time ever, it's also determined the colour of the year - bright tomato.

Racegoers were joined in the Thursday sunshine by several senior members of the Royal Family, who made their appearance at 2pm for the carriage procession. 

It comes after earlier this month it was reported that Maura is set to step into the role of the late Cilla Black to host a reboot of dating show Blind Date.

Maura, who is taking part in this year's series of Dancing With The Stars in America, is due to sign with Disney+ for the dating show with filming scheduled for later this year. 

After hosting the Love Island Games and Love Island USA: Aftersun, last year she gained an even bigger traction when she made it to the final of The Traitors US. 

So it is no surprise TV bosses are eyeing her up. 

'Discussions are at an advanced stage, with the show's producers convinced Maura's the perfect choice for the job.

'Not only did she shoot to fame on a TV dating contest, she is now an internationally famous face which is what a global service like Disney need for one of their shows,' a source told The Sun. 

They added: 'Maura also has an unquestionable glamour combined with cheeky charm which has echoes of Blind Date's most famous host.'

The Daily Mail contacted Maura's representatives for comment. 

Cilla Black hosted Blind Date from its debut in 1985 until the show was axed in 2003 after failing to hit the heights of its 18 million viewers-a-show heyday.

The show was later revived in 2017 on Channel 5 with the late Paul O'Grady as the host, but the reboot only lasted two years. 

Last June it was revealed the show would be making a sensational comeback with Claudia Winkleman, Holly Willoughby and Davina McCall all rumoured as hosts.
