The Virginia Gold Cup is supposed to be about horse racing, but the real competition is the hat contest. Here are some of the stand out entries from 2019. (Amanda Andrade-Rhoades/DC Refined)<p></p>
First of all, this woman handmade this gorgeous hat and she didn't win! No offense to the other competitors, but she was robbed. We are officially team ostrich-and-orchid hat. (Amanda Andrade-Rhoades/DC Refined)<p></p>
This was another entry that didn't make it through. Again, a robbery. (Amanda Andrade-Rhoades/DC Refined)
Okay, now that we're (mostly) done being salty, we loved this entry. It's fitting that Gold Cup was held on May 4th this year. May the fourth be with you. (Amanda Andrade-Rhoades/DC Refined)<p></p>
