Chic boutique at John Lewis Oxford Street showcases stunning head pieces to top off your race outfit

QueenMee Accessories, the Marlow-based boutique accessories company, is popping up in John Lewis Oxford Street to mark Royal Ascot.

Until 22^nd June QueenMee will be showcasing sparkling headband designs in the iconic store’s first floor Accessories department.

Acclaimed British designer Daniel Fletcher returns as Creative Director of Royal Ascot 2025. Having captivated audiences last year with a fresh approach to the revered dress codes; this year he is inviting racegoers to view dressing up not just as tradition, but as an act of personal expression.

This year’s Ascot lookbook elevates the very essence of what it means to dress for a moment. “I wanted to push the creative boundaries even further,” Fletcher says. “To celebrate individuality, honour tradition, and encourage people to feel seen in what they wear.”

QueenMee Founder, Amanda Waterstone Carthy says: “QueenMee’s brand ethos is about personal expression, aligning beautifully with Daniel Fletcher’s vision for Royal Ascot 2025. The collection includes an eclectic range of colours and motifs. I design with my customers’ self-expression in mind, enabling her to choose an accessory that celebrates her signature style, and step into the most radiant and authentic version of herself.

“I’m delighted to be showcasing my collection at John Lewis Oxford Street for Royal Ascot, and I look forward to helping John Lewis customers choose a headpiece that celebrates their individuality and vibrancy.

“I grew up a stone’s throw from this iconic department store and loved browsing the womenswear collections in the store and dreaming of becoming a designer when I was a child. Showcasing my collection here is certainly a childhood dream come true.”
