John Lewis is selling the bright pink, white and brown silk fascinator for a whopping £225.

The titfer – made by Bundle MacLaren Millinery – has a “hand-carved foam lolly” which is covered in “Orissa silk”

The luxury hat maker says it is “perfect” for horseracing.

Royal Ascot is set to welcome back up to 10,000 spectators per day for next month’s, five-day prestigious meeting.

Some shoppers were left perplexed with one saying: “Fascinates me. (WTF)”

But another said: “I own an ice cream shop, this is now compulsory uniform for all staff.”

A third added: “I have to say this, I think it’s Fab.”

John Lewis says in its product description: “If you’re looking for a truly unconventional headpiece, then this Fab lolly fascinator by Bundle MacLaren Millinery is what you need.

“The design creates a deliciously attractive look with its multi-coloured silk lolly.

“The tip of the lolly is covered in sequins and beads lending a more realistic appeal to the look. The design is set on a comfortable headband.”

Royal Ascot – famed for its Ladies Day of posh frocks and hats – was cancelled last year due to Covid-19.

The race meeting in the Berkshire town attracts up to 300,000 punters a year.
