Wacky wardrobe: Nancy in purple at Royal Ascot with what looked like an Interflora bouquet "

Battier than a belfry and never knowingly understated, Nancy Dell’Olio is a woman who has never once stood in front of a mirror and asked herself: ‘Is this outfit a bit over the top?’
This was proved on Wednesday when she turned up at Royal Ascot with what looked like an Interflora bouquet on her shoulder (right). But that’s just Nancy.
Why wear a simple, little black dress when you can wear a leather one that’s short enough to show your thighs and see-through enough to reveal your Wonderbra?
She’s someone for whom all fashion rules go out the window. Can’t flash cleavage and leg? Who says so? Shouldn’t wear more than two colours at a time? How about 16?
Poster girl for the mutton-dressed-as-lamb brigade, Nancy can show Carol Vorderman and Ivana Trump a thing or two about dressing inappropriately for their age — whatever that age may be. Educated guesses place her somewhere in her early 50s, although the lady herself still likes to insist she’s in her 40s and hasn’t ruled out having children.
Coco Chanel famously said: ‘Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman.’ However, she never made her views known on what people remember about a woman dressed like someone who’s won a trolley dash around Romford Market and is wearing more make-up than Ronald McDonald.
But I can’t imagine that anyone who meets Nancy would ever forget the encounter.
First regarded as something of a joke, the tangerine-coloured Italian former lawyer is fast becoming something of an (inter)national treasure. Here, Claudia Connell takes a peek inside Nancy’s very unique wardrobe.

Red hot? Who else would choose a scarlet, cleavage flashing catsuit to attend a formal function at 10 Downing Street   the one with red on the top" and, in a black leather and lace mini skirted monstrosity"

Lemon fool: Nancy takes the idea of colour co-ordination a trifle too far and looks like an explosion in a custard factory"

On a roll: A loo roll, that is. This sequined evening gown is just like something your grandma would stick on top of the Andrex"

Cruella: No puppies died during the making of this dress - a few fashion editors felt like throwing up, though"

Who's sari now: Nancy tried to curry favour at the Asian Women of Achievement Awards in this gaudy silver sari"

Feathered friend: Brave Nancy teamed her hotpants with a feathery corset for that added touch of class"

Boho (not so chic): Take a set of festoon blinds, kilt and an old cardi and, hey presto, an outfit even a gypsy bride would reject"

Ruched job: Nancy is nicely kitted out for a night (behind the bar) at the Red Lion"

The velveteen bunny-boiler: Is it a kimono? Pyjamas? No matter - it's an absolute horror"

Snake charmer: She dated one, she's as mad as one, so it follows that Nancy should dress like one, too"
