The cookie was in honor of Subway's new footlong cookie

Vicky Pattison kicked off Royal Ascot in sensational fashion with a footlong fascinator that certainly turned heads.

The Geordie Shore star swapped her I’m a Celebrity crown for an impressive fascinator with a giant cookie at the centre, created by celebrated milliner Victoria Grant. Grant's designs have been worn by Beyonce, Lady Gaga, and Madonna.

Vicky, threw her hat into the ring to win the top prize for style on the opening day of the week of races, which is known as much for its fashion as it is for its racing. Dubbed the ‘footlong fascinator,’ the incredible headpiece was created to celebrate Subway’s new Footlong Cookie.

Former Geordie Shore star Vicky, said: 'I’ve always loved the creative and unique hats that you see at the races every year. And I thought it was such a fun idea to turn this "piéce de résistance" of a giant footlong Subway cookie into a piece of art.

‘And the best part, I’ve even got a snack to share with my pals while we watch the racing action! Victoria nailed the design. It certainly “takes the biscuit”!’

The bespoke hat, with its hand-dyed and sculpted plumes, signature crystal detail, and silk pleated bow surrounding the ‘crowning glory’, the footlong cookie, took weeks to design and create. The cookie, which is now available in the UK, joins Subway’s Footlong Sidekicks range, which includes a Footlong Cinnabon Churro and Footlong Dippers.

The Queen Anne Stakes began off Royal Ascot, the crown jewel of the UK racing calendar, on Tuesday and will continue until Saturday. On Tuesday at 2:30 p.m., the meeting's opening race will begin. On Sunday, the week's last race is slated to begin at 6:15 p.m.

Queen Camilla and King Charles III will probably join the gamblers at the renowned racetrack and solidify their status as racing champions. Over the course of the following five days, Charles and Camilla entered a series of horses, taking on the thoroughbreds owned by the late Queen.
