The twin sisters stunned in baby pink dresses as they attended Ladies Day on Thursday.  Amelia and Eliza, both 33, were pictured at the famous horse racing event together wearing Holland Cooper with matching white shoes and handbags.  One wore a white hat while the other wore a pink one, matching her dress.  The twins were among other members of the Royal Family and celebrities to have appeared at the racecourse.  Their appearance on Ladies Day comes after the sisters made a striking entrance at this year's Royal Academy Summer Exhibition preview party last week.  Amelia and Eliza wore daring black and red ensembles, with Amelia opting for a black mini dress featuring long sleeves and a ruched skirt.   Eliza, meanwhile, wore a full-length scarlet gown with a fitted silhouette, open back and high back slit as she stepped out at the glamorous occasion at Burlington House.
