When you've mismatched a teal top with a hat made of green palm fronds, you might as well throw in an iPad: at least then you look current. This daring geek-chic hat is perhaps the only one at Ascot that can be powered on and off. And with 3G access, it allows you to look up the latest betting odds with just a few easy clicks. Before you call the fashion police on this poor woman, please note that she is not actually a racing fan: she's a model promoting an Irish betting agency's new iPad application.
