It's Ladies Day! All smiles as these friends pose for a photo.

Thousands of people have flocked to Perth Races to enjoy the return of Ladies’ Day.

The sold-out event was back on the calendar on Thursday after a two-year hiatus.

And revellers soaked up the sunshine as they donned glamorous outfits and fancy hats, in one of the biggest occasions on the Perth social calendar.

Our photographer Steve MacDougall was there to bring you the best pictures from the day.

An amazing array of hats and fascinators to be seen as guests arrive.

Women arrive, excited for the day ahead as they spot their friends in the crowds.

Photo ops aplenty, this guest stops to take a pic next to the beautiful flower arch.
