HALSTON
Roy Halston Frowick was prairie-bred Iowan with a penchant for hats. He studied at the Chicago Institute, and shortly after opened his first millinery salon in a Chicago hotel in 1953. His hats won favor from actresses like Gloria Swanson and Deborah Kerr. Five years later, he moved to New York to join Lily Dache. Halston's defining design was a beige felt “pillbox” for Jacqueline Kennedy, copied widely for American women. Jackie “O” wore many Halston pillbox hats with dresses designed by Oleg Cassini. Known for his jet-set evening wear, Halston popularized turtlenecks and halter-neck dresses. His signature perfume, Halston, was sold in a bottle designed by Elsa Peretti, and joined other fragrances like Catalyst, Halston 1-12, Sheer, Unbound and Z. | {

4bf65003-c75d-5a61-a039-daf2077db4e2_1 | During the nineteenth century, as in earlier eras, it was common for women of all classes to wear some form of head covering indoors and out, and their hats communicated a great deal of information about them. By looking back on these items through the lens of history, we can use them to understand the times in which they were made. In the 1850s, the growth of machine-manufactured fabrics and trimmings led to an increase in decoration on headwear. We get a sense of these new and exuberant decorative possibilities in the bonnet in Edmonds’s painting, which is trimmed with frothy white lace and blue ribbon around the brim, with matching blue ribbon ties. The bonnet itself is probably made of straw, but this seemingly humble material was often imported from Leghorn, Italy, which produced an especially desirable variety. The richness of the materials that appeared on American bonnets of the 1850s can be seen in an example from Met’s collection:
Above: Bonnet (Poke Bonnet), 1856. American. straw; Height: 12 in. (30.5 cm); Length: 9 1/2 in. (24.1 cm). The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Gift of Mrs. Richard T. Auchtmuty, 1917 (17.15.7). See the Collection Database to learn more about this work.
The bonnet, like the one in Edmonds’s painting, displays a distinctive curved shape at its base, and is made of Leghorn straw, silk lace, taffeta, and sprays of flowers. The fine and varied trimmings on this hat speak to the material abundance of the era, but also to the means of the person who wore it. Headwear indicated status, and we see this fact clearly in Edmonds’s work. The young woman he depicts has purchased a fancy bonnet, in contrast to her mother’s simple white cap and clearly distinct from the shawl that the delivery girl uses to cover her head. Perhaps she is hoping to project an air of affluence and attract the attention of a specific class of men. | {

f1f8c0b9-a3d1-5db0-87b0-8bc123fd867f_0 | .
I’m joining in with the Beatrix hat love. Agree also about how difficult it must be for the non royals, whose milliners don’t usually offer hats in the same fabrics as the ensemble.
Lovely to see these photos again.
Oh Beatrix just looks phenomenal. The hat is very much her, but the colors and combination of textures make it just swoon worthy. Really an all-time favorite.
I like Laurentien’s as well. It has the same larger-than-we-would-see now crown proportions that seemed common in that era (see Martha Louise’s hat and many of the CoW), but is very flattering. I love the color and the translucent brim.
Yes, this is definitely one of my favorite hats ever for Beatrix! Did she ever repeat it? I don’t recall ever seeing it again, which is most unfortunate.
While I’m certain most people are not fans of Laurentien’s ensemble, I personally thought it was quite fun! Being monochrome helped tone this look down, and considering the many oversized hats and interesting outfits she wore in the 2000s, this one was quite elegant. I also like unique and high collars like this one (blame my sci-fi love), and I agree the sinamay brim helped lighten this look.
While Margriet looks lovely in crimson, I don’t find this fur hat very flattering for her.
Mariléne’s hat colorwise was a bit boring, but the unique angular design saved it. This is a hat I would like to see again today.
Camilla should take a cue from Irene and incorporate this cobalt blue color into her wardrobe; the ostrich feathers reminds me of Camilla’s hats, and overall this was a good choice for Irene. Unfortunately, Christina’s hat and outfit looks like it stepped straight out of the 1980s (although violet is a good color for her).
Máxima’s family did well for the hat choices considering. While none of them were particularly exciting, they all suited their wearers very well (especially as they probably didn’t wear them again) and were great for the occasion. Delores’ pillbox would fit right in today, and María’s hat looks like some of Fabienne Delvigne’s designs we’ve seen on Mathilde.
This may be the best hat ever for Queen Beatrix. Perfection! | {

f1f8c0b9-a3d1-5db0-87b0-8bc123fd867f_1 | Beatrix looks smashing! My quibble with Laurentien’s hat is that it doesn’t really work with the collar of her coat. Either the collar should gave been lower or perhaps not even there, or the brim of the hat should have been absent or smaller. The gold colour is lovely on her. I like Irene’s and Christina’s hats, but I am not sure about the red fuzzy brim on Margriet’s hat. There is a Muppet-like effect here for me. But what fun to see these hats again and to remember that wedding. Thanks Hat Queen.
You’re welcome. I think a few of us need a winter pick-me-up.
It’s also fascinating to look back and see which hats have aged well and which ones have not!
Princess Laurentien’s jacket looks ill fitting, not only the collar, but the whole jacket. Rather as if her silhouette changed quicker than expected (due to her pregnancy) and there was no time to adapt her clothes. The colours and the mix of materials are beautiful but the whole outfit … well, yes, clunky is the right word!
Interesting to see the hats selected for this grand occasion. I agree, Beatrix’s hat is really wonderful! It’s not dissimilar in its general lines and construction to the very many layered “cake hats” she’s worn in the years since, but the different crown shape and asymmetric brim give quite a different impression from her later, squarer style, and the colour variations in this are super! | {

a470030a-c4be-5260-ad96-a2d95b60ad02_0 | Fascinators — the delicate, whimsical pieces of headwear favoured by the young and posh in Britain and beyond — have been banned from the royal enclosure at Royal Ascot, one of the most exclusive events in Britain's social calendar.
Organizers said Wednesday that those hoping to rub shoulders with the queen at the horse racing meet would have to stick to hats, no fascinators.
It's the latest in a series of rules aimed at tightening the dress code at Ascot, where organizers have tried to push back against the proliferation of provocative outfits, outrageous accessories and revealing tops.
Other rules introduced or reinforced Wednesday include the requirement that women at the royal enclosure wear dresses that fall below the knee and that the men accompanying them must wear a top hat (grey or black).
The queen can wear whatever she wants, but the guidelines affect the royal enclosure, which usually includes a few hundred invited guests, not just the royal family.
Some of the rules — no bare midriffs or strapless dresses for example — fall in line with organizers' attempts to roll back the nouveau-riche nightclub look, but fascinators are favoured by the highest reaches of the upper-crust.
Kate Middleton, now known as the Duchess of Cambridge, is a fan. So, too, are princesses Beatrice and Eugenie and other fashion-forward royals.
Nick Smith, Ascot's head of communication, acknowledged that "there is an argument that some fascinators are formal."
"But the very fact that there is that argument" was reason enough to ban them from the royal enclosure — where the queen gathers with the cream of British aristocracy to watch the races.
"Some fascinators have become so small that they're nothing more than a hairband and a feather," he added.
So did Elizabeth call up to say: "Off with their fascinators!"
Smith laughed.
"No, that doesn't happen," he said. "We set the rules."
Still, he noted that organizers were in touch with the queen's staff and he said it would be "unlikely that we'd put something in place that she'd be uncomfortable with."
The next Ascot takes place in June.

a9a3a9b0-f973-5bff-b9cb-74de43b93a5c_1 | Having said that, there are hats where there’s a lot going on (as an example, the wonderful butterfly hat by Philip Treacy) that work wonderfully (or so I think). I think making a complex hat look becoming and in a way “simple” is an even more difficult task.
There, I said it. That’s what I think of the proliferation of fascinators in the market. I have nothing against the fascinator as long as it’s well made (no glue thank you) and it’s becoming. I also encourage the people that only make fascinators to branch out and learn more, because there’s so much more to learn and there is a lot of joy involved in becoming a milliner… and that is why I write this blog, to share what I know. | {

Needless to say, she theorizes it has a certain "royal wedding" connection. [The Feast NY]

cda8e382-68b1-5b47-8d45-dda98d682ede_1 | I like Maxima's outfit. Well put together and cute hat. Beige with black and grey is interesting.
Ms. Awada looks elegant but it seems a bit early in the year to be wearing all white.
I like more Juliana Awada´s style here. Maxima´s skirt does not flatter her.
Beautiful outfits for both ladies
Another ugly and ridiculous hat.
The flower applique has me wondering. Why don't ladies and gentlemen wear fresh flowers any more? A small corsage or boutonniere, or a simple bloom on a hat, or pinned to a handbag... Fresh flowers are so elegant and affordable. No one needs a prom-night rose or a "flower crown" (shudder) - there are simple stunning options from the many beautiful specimens available for modern tastes. Standing in the wind or heat for hours I can understand opting for an applique or jewelry, but even at weddings most guests do not wear flowers. Prince Charles, bless his heart, still plucks a bloom from his own garden once in awhile and cares nothing if it wilts a little. That is true class. There are (were, perhaps) many lovely keepers for flowers that are added to a buttonhole or discreetly pinned that provide support and moisture for a fresh blossom or nosegay. I can understand why people opt for semiprecious or crystal jewelry instead of precious designer jewelry but a fresh flower holds its own with the best of them.

Beautiful! Love the whole ensemble and her hair looks fab too.
I understand Argentina is going thru some bad times politically speaking, so maybe that's why there were not a lot of laughs. However a few weeks ago they went to Spain and Juliana and Letizia were like 2 school girls laughing and acting like best friends. Maybe there's not as much closeness with Maxima. I don't care so much for their outfits, especially Maxima's hat, so unnecessary! Her hair is good for a change. | {

e8da943a-b79e-5b74-b8fc-5f1fb97b40a0_0 | I'm totally obsessed with these hats. I need them. Should I sell a kidney on the black market so I can don Beowulf-esque head gear? I mean, probably, I should. As ridiculous as it may seem, I actually love the medieval reference in the chainmail hat. I think it's somehow totally glamourous and elegant, in a completely unorthodox way. As for the other hats-- I mean who can argue with a precious little straw boater? And the red one is like a Stones groupie meets Godard. The collection may lack cohesion but the hats in all their impeccable quirk and joyfulness, make up for! | {

141670f2-5d81-54d8-adc3-3e162103b1aa_0 | The Calash Bonnet: Its History in the 18th Century
The calash bonnet (known in France as the thérèse or caleche) was a popular and intriguing millinery item in the mid-1700s and was worn through the early 1800s. It came about because it protected the towering hairstyles from inclement weather and allowed for decency. Because it tied under the chin, it was considered more of bonnet than a hat..”[1]
Large calash of 1770s, with fan-shaped pleating and ribbons on either side. Courtesy of liveauctioneers.com.
Another person describing the calash bonnet wrote:
“How shall I describe the immense bonnet, or immenser calash, or the space required to enable the wearer to take a sidelong observation! The ribbon lines by which the calash was turned right or left, as the case required, seemed to my unpracticed eye like the reins by which horses were guided, and in my innocent greenness I supposed that they were only worn by those who were too poor to have horses, and were used to obtain an insight into the science of land navigation.”[2]
The unusual looking bonnet became popular because it offered certain advantages that other millinery did not. For instance, it could easily collapse or raise as the wearer required. Another advantage was that it provided good protection in inclement weather so that if a woman encounter wind, rain, or sun, the calash bonnet could be raised to protect her hairstyle and face.
The colors, shape, and popularity of the calash changed over time. At first it was only made from green silk and usually lined with red or pink silk, supposedly to improve a person’s complexion. Later, it came in many different colors, which historian Elisabeth McClellan noted:
“[It] was usually formed of green silk, it was worn abroad covering the head, but when in rooms it could fall back in folds like the springs of a calash or gigtop; to keep it over the head it was drawn up by a cord always held in the hands of the wearer. When the calash was at the height of popularity however, it appeared in many varieties of material and colour.”[3]
The eighteenth-century calash bonnet was tall and almost oval in shape but as hairstyles changed, later versions of it (those in the nineteenth century) were rounder and shorter to match the nineteenth century hairstyles. Its popularity also steadily decreased after the eighteenth century as hairstyles fell. However, it did enjoy a short resurgence in popularity between the 1830s to the 1850s. | {

The biggest challenge for this design was getting the shade of teal just right without a fabric swatch for matching, but with Phoebe's help we were able to brilliantly complement her dress (which is really a more blue teal than what you see in the photo above), black patent-leather shoes, and gold jewelry. We are both so very happy with the outcome.
Let us know if we can be of help in topping off your next special occasion!

The model also wore a Carolina Herrera Resort 2018 dress which was supremely elegant, but it was the hat that really drew my focus.
While these style of hats/fascinators are usually reserved for Kentucky Day or Royal Ascot, it was intriguing to see how the look gave the model such a glowing regal air that didn’t feel forced or pretentious.

Love this! She looks divine. The fascinator totally works with this.
I love this look, she totally owns it in such an effortless way.
I think Nieves looks fantastic and I don’t think the hat is too much. She looks impeccably chic in my opinion.
I seem to be in the minority, but I think she’s killing it. She is a queen and can sell me almost any look.
Love the dress on her, but the hat is a big no.
She can pull off almost anything and she cuts a striking figure here in the hat.
I adore this but I feel the fascinator is a little overkill.
+1
I like the dress — it looks great on Nieves — and the like the hat but not together. They just do not go together IMO.

bff082e2-f7f6-5db2-8eed-7452b697bd87_2 | It is only our smutty minds that assume he was talking about doing the horizontal tango. Perhaps - like a couple of my acquaintance - he spent the night holding back Sam Cam's hair while she vomited in the basin. Cameron's desperation to seem "up on life, down with the kids" is grating, but shouldn't we applaud anyone who seems quite so keen on their spouse? Far better that his most memorable night was that of his wedding than a booze-fuelled Bullingdon Club brawl.
A hat that fails to fascinate
There can be few things less appropriately named than the fascinator. A twee doodle on the head, it usually has more than a passing resemblance to a mangled bird. And it seems the dress code police at Ascot agree, banning the hat's anaemic cousin from the royal enclosure.
I've never been to the races, but the pictures that emerge each year suggest it is pretty much the anti-London Fashion Week, like a toff wedding but with less taste. So I'm hoping its expulsion - even from a style Siberia - might mark the death of the fascinator. Milliner Stephen Jones said it beautifully when he applied a line of Edith Sitwell's advice to our headgear: "If one is a greyhound, why try to look like a Pekinese?"

d86c29e9-0a76-5d5d-9660-1d045bc0efc3_1 | Did Princess Beatrice start this hat off as a cocoon farm and just waited until they all hatched before presenting this to the world? I heard that butterflies are attracted to dead things. It makes me wonder what is under all those butterflies and sitting on top of her head. Maybe Beatrice is under attack from a swarm. I think I can recreate this hat. I just have to go down to the dollar store and get some fridge magnets.
She decided to do even better at her cousin's wedding. Now she's trying out for the role of the mirror in a Disney production of Snow White. Did she not know this was a wedding and she isn't supposed to upstage the bride? Somebody show this girl her grandmother's hat closet. I'm sure she could find something with a butterfly or a ribbon. Sarah Ferguson, talk to your daughter, an intervention must be done immediately.
This is called a fascinator (I guess because they're fascinating) and they are considered an acceptable alternative to a hat. I think her five year old made this in kindergarten from leftover brooms.
Someone left a cake out in the rain. And I don't think I can take it, cause it took so long to bake it, and I'll never have that recipe again...
Looks like she brought her own snack and enough for the rest of the class.
Some people have compared this to a part of a woman's anatomy, but I won't go there. It does make me think of a tippy canoe.
By the way, when did hats start being worn on the forehead? Is it to cover up wrinkles and acne?
I swear that thing is going to slide right into her face.
Isn't this that ride at the carnival where you step inside, they strap you spread eagled and they spin you around? Or maybe I saw motorcycles spin around in these things. Or maybe it was the rotational paths of the planets.
I don't think Carrie Bradshow oops sorry, Sarah Jessica Parker, was invited to anything royal, but she certainly follows their fashion sense. Now the butterflies are a little more tasteful. Two or three is enough, but I'm wondering if it hurt to have that tree planted in her head, and I did notice that the pinecone is causing her problems staying where it's supposed to be. | {

f074edfc-a900-571a-abae-492f0b454b80_1 | Fascinators are old hat. (Couldn’t resist…) No, but seriously, they are. They have been about for years, and suddenly The Telegraph and Charon have discovered them. You just don’t move in the right circles.
Abigail: You are right!
But… it would be rather worrying if I did know about “fascinators”… would it not?
🙂
Very Kate, very Charon. Suits you sir…! | {

5b01bbe5-0d48-5a1a-8fbc-8ef98476d11a_1 | I don’t like the Bond bottles, either. The shape seems awkward and forced. I’ve never held one, but I’m wondering if the shape makes them easier to handle?
That price doesn’t attract me at all!
When I saw the CK pocket sprays, I thought of the containers for electronic cigarettes by Blu (they’ve been playing the commercial a lot lately). Then I thought of a mint tin (cute) and then I thought of a breath spray.
The pocket sprays look surprisingly great, in the pictures. | {

3dea33b1-96ce-54e0-a40a-beae81b9693d_1 | I didn’t mind Serena’s fascinator, especially with her short hair, but it just doesn’t have the wow factor I expected for this event. Lady Sarah, on the other hand, looked stunning in all dove grey, something I normally wouldn’t expect when dressing in only this color. I also love Birgitte’s hat and was glad to see it at Ascot one year, but want to see if repeated more often. Davina and Rose were rather underwhelming, but luckily nothing was as bad as their sister-in-law’s wannabe headpiece; Claire, it’s so small and blends in with your hair! Bring back the fascinator you wore to Rose’s wedding!
Serena- Sort of a space-age futuristic royal hat. It’s super cool and I love it.
Sarah- I thought it was boring until I watched the video. A girl who puts diamonds on her hat gets 2 thumbs up from me.
Countess of Ulster- she’s wearing a hat? I don’t believe you
Duchess of Glouwhatever- OK. The hat’s great but the coat is 1980s BAD.
Lady Grey Pinwheel- cute. Her dress needed something interesting and this does the trick.
Lady Navy in Front Pink in the Back- LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. Love the shape. LOVE the unexpected hit of pink. LOVE.
I agree with what Janae says: April 30, 2015 at 1:05 pm, though I wish Serena’s hat was a bit larger.
A lovely selection. I particularly like the Duchess’s more dramatic hat, a nice change for her. I think Serena’s hat would have been better if everything about it was about twenty per cent bigger. In contrast to the last post, there isn’t much more to say, really!
I also love Brigitte’s hat. 2 tone hats don’t always look good but hers is lovely.
I don’t usually like modern, abstract hats but there’s something about Serena’s hat that’s really beautiful. Sarah’s hat is also a perfect classic.
All lovely. Lady Sarah is so graceful. Serena Linley looked wonderful and I don’t usually like little hat-type things stuck randomly on one’s head. But on her, it worked. Duchess of Gloucester wore a perfectly good hat with that dated looking dress. Those stand up ruffles must go! I can barely see The Countess of Ulster’s black hat, so have no opinion other than it blended in well with the back jacket photographed behind it.
We have seen the Duchess of Gloucester’s dress many many times, usually with her little “gumnut cap” – so it is a treat to see her pair it with a new, proper hat!! | {

39e0054e-065c-599e-8fde-29d0a35da58b_0 | Kate Middleton debuted a, shall we say, fresh fascinator this morning at a service to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of WWI in Belgium, and we're intrigued.
There's no question that we're huge fans of Kate's style—we can't get enough of those perfectly tailored shift dresses, chic blazers, and the endless array of tasteful pumps. However, if we're being honest, we're still somewhat mystified by the whole concept of the fascinator. Perhaps it's a fear that we'll never be royal enough to pull one off, or maybe we just haven't found one that would pair nicely with a maxidress. Either way, we still enjoy looking at those artful tiny hats… on Kate.
Though the fascinator might be one of the only Kate looks we're not quite ready to steal, she can clearly work just about any style—even floppy berets that appear to defy the laws of gravity. And who knows? Maybe one day we'll be able to muster the courage.

26edaa57-6e8d-518d-a2fc-00890070cf9a_0 | Well, the races are soon (tomorrow in fact) and many of you out there have had to redeck your old hats and fascinators yourselves to save money, so here's a few tips (:
1. Less is more - you don't want an overcrowded look, because a hat or fascinator is meant as a decoration. Keep it simple.
2. Position the feathers/flowers/assorted other thingies at contrasting angles; don't have them all facing the same way, to avoid the 'matted' look. Don't even think about going there. >] "Spray" it out.
3. For variety between feather types, you can shorten/strip/cut feathers. Also, try grouping different lengths together for dynamics.
4. Keep to a strict colour theme, eg. the colour of your dress + black.
5. If using mesh/net, keep it above the mouth, otherwise it will inhibit eating, speaking etc. Not good.
>>> An awesome example of a simple yet effective, classy fascinator. Notice the little colour use, the spray effect, and the lack of stuff. very yummy ;) (from)
<<< Another great spray effect example. This one is also monochromatic, but doesn't it just look awesommmme? (from) | {

Fascinator Styles
Did hats and fascinators did make a big of a show at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal wedding ? We at alistbeauty feel that the answer is “YES”. We especially looked forward to the wedding guest fashion extravaganza and when it comes to royal wedding guest attire, fascinators are de rigeuer.
Hats and fascinators are a high-society staple across the pond, but with an American as our bride, and many American wedding guests, will the accessory still reign supreme?
Why does one wear a fascinator? What does it symbolize?
For some women it represents a status symbol or honoring tradition, for others it’s pure fun. Depending on the event, there’s often an unspoken competition for best fascinator or headpiece, and that’s where the fun ensues. Some of my customers wear them as a form of self expression, especially the more elaborate and artistic pieces. A great headpiece is like a fab pair of Louboutins. It completes an ensemble and adds a sexy-chic sophistication to the overall look. “encouraged” wear. Most importantly, find your comfort zone and don’t go out on a limb.
Something Old Something New!
“Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a silver sixpence in her shoe.” Now what in the hell does any of that have to do with a long and happy marriage!?
Let’s dive in to where and when this rhyme came about. It dates back to Victorian England, and it seems to signify the simultaneous hope for continuity and a fresh beginning. “Something old…signifies the desire that the best of the couple’s previous lives…remain with them in the new life to come,” writes wedding historian Susan Waggoner. Meanwhile “something new” is all about the new life the couple will start together. “Something borrowed” is a bit more superstitious, pointing to the idea that borrowing items from a happily married woman will transfer that woman’s good luck onto the new bride. And the color blue is representative of “fidelity and love’s purity”; it was also a popular color to wear prior to the white wedding dress trend. And that sixpence? Well even the Victorians knew that marriage is a heck of a lot easier with ample money. | {

b3ead221-096a-5c95-975a-223de2f7df76_0 | In the race between these two Philip Treacy moulded picture hats with butterfly bows (both worn at the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding in 2011), I thought the outcome might be close. Was I wrong! Sometimes, a hat is only as beautiful as the outfit it is paired with and you, dear readers, are not fans of shiny teal suits. The clear winner in this race is:
Lady Frederick Windsor in Philip Treacy, April 29, 2011
Stay tuned early next week for the next poll.
Photos from Carl de Sousa and Chris Jackson via Getty
For me there is a placement problem with Sophie’s hat. The brim is asymmetrical, wich is lovely, but the crown should rest on the top of the head. Here it seems to be floating, which screams “I’m stand on a headband”, something only the milliner and the owner should know
I had the same thoughts. The material looked straight out of 1998. But both hats are beautiful as are the women wearing them!
I did have to give Mathilde points for sneaking a tiara into a non- tiara event.
Agreed! Jumpy claps for the tiara sneak!
While I liked Marhilde’s hat better, I couldn’t vote for her because of the hideous teal suit. I didn’t care for Sophie’s hat, but just felt she looked better over all.
Often, a hat on its own is wonderful. Like all fashion accessories, it still needs to work with the whole outfit. | {

55827b6a-82a6-5da4-b31d-52f62f952f2c_1 | I love Mathilde and her family, and I love the blue color of the hat and her outfit. She looks great in the hat, but the overall effect with the total package is lacking. Sophie hit a home run with her outfit. Easy, effortless, and chic. I voted for Sophie Windsor.
agreed
Interesting note about the seamless design of these hats. I never noticed that before. I also didn’t notice how similar these 2 hats are, worn at the same event no less! Love the Treacy butterfly bow.
I choose Lady Frederick’s hat. Somehow the oval shape seems to counter balance the multi-looped bow. I love it:) | {

f27b0ec1-8088-5e31-8375-e2339441f2b6_0 | The sweatband bow is found on the inside of men’s hats. Attached to the inside, back seam of the sweatband.
Easy for men to tell which is the back of the hat when putting it on quickly.
Rumor has it that the inside sweatband bow resembles skull and crossbones. Making it is a nod to past milliners who were stricken with mercury poisoning by prolonged exposure to mercury vapors during the felting process.

220cd041-b231-529c-88de-6f722b1b3664_1 | The royals sure do love their fascinators—especially at major events like royal weddings, the Queen's annual birthday parade (known as Trouping the Colour), and holidays like Christmas and Easter. It's a tradition that has transformed itself into a major staple—similar to big hats at the Kentucky Derby. Kate wears them often (particularly at weddings), which is why we'll likely see her in one again come May. Her fascinators typically match her dress, though she isn't afraid to make a bold statement.
The Handbag: A Clutch
This one is a no-brainer. Kate Middleton hasn't been spotted with any bag but a clutch since, basically, ever. She typically goes for a narrow envelope clutch like this one in the same color scheme as her outfit (but rarely matching the exact tone). If she doesn't choose a clutch, she'll probably go hands-free.
Until May 19... | {

b2287916-3eb4-5b9b-898f-5cfee58b8544_0 | Your love towards the feather fascinator is indescribable, then what pull you back, just pick the one that you love most. If you want to store in numbers, then that is also possible. All you need to just check different styles and the one you like most, start doing shopping. What happened? You don’t have the clear conception how you pick the best deal as per your requirements, then research only show you the path. Want to know more about it, then read this article for the information that you want to.
It may be possible that you want the same for the mother of the bride, then the style you need that will not similar for you. So, it is highly important that you make a list of requirements and the style and after that start your findings. Don’t forget to specify the style and design you want to adopt. It may be possible that you want the ascot fascinator, then specify the same and then see the options you have.
You need to be sure about the one the will match with your personality. It can be possible that you like the feather fascinator but when you wear the same it doesn’t go with your personality, then purchasing will not give you satisfaction. So, take a call about that and also consult with the experts who will rightly guide you about all and after the same, when you get your best one, just go for it.
Cost is also an important thing to consider. It can be possible that you love the one for the mother of the bride and own that. But, after paying the cost if you find that the same quality and design you get in the lower price from another site, then how you feel. Obviously, it will be frustrating. So, this is highly important that after shortlisting the best ascot fascinator, see the different deals and which one you find more perfect, just go for it and make the right choice in every prospect.
Regardless, these steps will be something that you need to follow and after the same you own the best one. What more, just wear it and see how your look gets the right direction and you are not able to hold the appreciation. Don’t forget to capture those moments and store it for your memory lane.

271efe05-7ccf-59f0-8509-893348fbe4f3_0 | Her inspiration often comes from landscapes or still lifes, which seem to blossom along the brim of each hat.
"The butterflies move when you walk," she said.
Satya makes all of her hats at her New York City apartment. Those made of cotton or Swiss braid are particularly popular at this time of year.
"They breathe, block the sun, and they are a good option for summer," Satya said.
Way more sophisticated than a baseball hat, she even makes visors which travel well.
"You can literally roll it up and go to the beach," she said.
And these days, there's a growing fascination with fascinators. Just a few months ago, hardly anyone had heard of them. But thanks to the Royal Wedding, fascinators are now appearing more and more on people's heads here in the States.
Satya says there's a hat for every head. It's just about finding the one that works.
So go ahead, try one on and step out in style this summer.
"Every single person looks great in a hat," she said. "Men, women, children, everybody."
Satya only launched her business seven months ago. She's already selling at ABC Carpet & Home, Treasure & Bond and at Bendel's, where she has an upcoming event.

e60d769e-ab5b-5556-b6ad-46c0ad50eef2_1 | Thanks for this nice post! 🙂 Benedikte looks so regal, love the look. Mrs. Haukio isn’t famous about her clothes, atleast on a positive way. She tends to dress a bit old for her age. Or dull. This time I don’t think it was neither but you’re right about the “fascinator”. That’s simply not enough. Not big enough, not hat enough, not enough for her outfit, her status or compared to the royal ladies.
There’s also a small correction to make: the president is called Niinistö, Sauli Niinistö. Väinämö is his second name and for some reason they use the whole name at the website. Google translate gets the names mixed up.
Yes- I loved Benedikte’s hat, too. And thanks so much for the correction. I GREATLY appreciate it!
I assure you, I really am not here to pinpoint any mistakes, I really enjoy your blog! 🙂 You always have nice and beautiful photos and the information you provide is very interesting.
No no- I was just meaning that I hope I will stop making errors so you don’t need to correct me! I’m so glad you enjoy the blog. And I really do appreciate your corrections!
Regal- such an excellent word to describe this hat. And yes, thank you for this post. I really enjoy this blog.
The blue hat is beautiful. I really like the shape and it looks very flattering on Benedikte.
That blue fedora is a FASHION MOMENT! Ahhhh- a breath of fresh fashion. Fabulousness all around.
Really? On the group photo, I think she looks like a giant turquoise duckbill platypus.
No no. Mary’s hat is perfect. So stylish. She can keep wearing it many times!
Yes. The hat of Princesse Mary is chic. It is not old.
Stylish? I don’t think so. That hat makes Mary look like a cartoon character. | {

It all started with my obsession for pillbox and fascinator hats during my wedding preps. For more than 2 weeks, I searched and searched and saved photos of my pegs until Google led me to Fabrichild's online shop. My heart raced as I browsed the custom made hats and I mumbled to myself, "I found her!" (click here for the story).

10c8602a-3790-5b16-9323-078b34802a27_0 | Coveted Item of the Week: Ella Gajewska Hats and Fascinators!
Remember back when I was saying that I had a fascination with fascinators? Of course, the entire world seems to have a fascination with them after the Royal Wedding. But that is beside the point. The point is that my wonderful Cousin Bea Ann happens to to be a milliner - someone who creates hats! She picked up my fascination on Facebook and pointed me to another milliner: Ella Gajewska. I have been stalking her Facebook page and her website ever since.
Facebook page is worth following just for the shots of the things that don't always end up on her website.
Oh I really want to! But how to choose? Do I go for something totally fanciful that I probably can't wear anywhere, or do I go for something a little closer to normal? I just don't know. If the one with the chain and spikes around were still available (and in a color other than blue) I think it would be mine (go visit her site and see what I'm talking about).
You can purchase Ella Gajewska's art from her website.

18666c84-3156-5ea1-8292-d9fce7e07d73_4 | I, too, like #5–its main problem as a hat for a public occasion, I would guess, is obscuring the duchess’s face from the right side. I quite like the aqua or turquoise hat as well. 1 and the 2009 pale wedding hat (especially that one!), which depart most from the pattern, do nothing, however, for me–or for the duchess, in my opinion. | {

66c022ca-17b6-560c-bea7-650796c1c5d4_2 | Alexandra’s hat is definitely less fussy than Camilla’s, and Birgitte’s even moreso, but they are both still appropriate for the occasion; because these two hats are much plainer, Camilla’s seems more over-the-top, but I don’t think it is.
I’m glad to see all three of these ladies out again so soon. Looks like a busy late spring/early summer for the British royals! | {

d0f11d35-a6e7-55d7-bdee-ab6887f4ede8_2 | I agree Melly, this hat shape is hard to pull off but it does work on Princess Eugenie and the color is pretty and ideally suited to her coloring. She rarely seems to get her look right. I can’t forget the atrocious hats that she and Princess Beatrice wore to William and Kate’s wedding!
Ugh. More than 2 years have passed since the wedding and Bea and Eugenie have totally stepped up their fashion game. I don’t understand why people keep bringing up those hats. Get over them.
What a fun and insightful post! I would have called this style of hat “The Claw” but having a proper name is much better!
I love most of them. The feathery ones are a bit hit and miss, but the ones like Mary’s are very pretty.
HRH Elentari (@HRH_Elentari), I agree. The feathery ones look to me like a bird crash-landed on your head. Mary’s is the best of a rather ugly hat bunch.
I LIKE ’em!!
They are SO fun! Never heard of a casque but thanks for making the introduction. Love this blog!
OMG, the one the Queen Mum is wearing is wild! What a hoot!
In my opinion efrompdx, the Queen Mum is the only person who could have got away with wearing this hat and not have faced widespread criticism. It’s big, it’s loud and it’s awful, but somehow she just seemed to be able to wear these kinds of over-the-top looks.
Such fun!
That is the nicest that I have seen Princess Eugenie
I agree Jane, this hat shape works on Princess Eugenie and the color is pretty and suits her coloring too.
I think this kind of hat works well with the shorter hairdos of the 1950s, or maybe with hair that’s pulled back in a chignon. It’s less flattering with hair worn down, like Crown Princess Mary’s is in the photo. So much of how nice a hat looks depends on how your hair is styled.
I completely agree that hairstyles can make or break a hat. The grey casque Princess Mary wore yesterday looked very nice with her hairstyle, but it was even better the last time she wore it with her hair up. I think this style of hat is probably hard to pull off with hair longer than chin length.
I agree that they are not generally flattering, but I do think the one Princess Margaret is wearing is lovely! | {

52a36ab2-be71-5bcc-a68d-0c0be1c4e1cd_0 | If she is to be believed, Pylones’s Ma Dame is “a proper lady.” And why is she so? “If anything gets too close to my skirt,” she tells us on her web page, “it gets shredded.”
That skirt! Looking at Ma Dame and her outfit, I was thinking of Gaultier. Weren’t his conical bras, made famous by Madonna, a marriage of fashion and weaponry too? (The idea would be, years later, adopted by Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, both shooting from the tits.) And it is rather Gaultier to fashion perforated metal into a skirt. Ma Dame’s top, too, is characteristically JPG: sheer polka-dotted shoulders and gold bodice with Japanese flowers! Just imagine the rubber trim of the conical skirt to be mink, and you’ll have a grater worthy of a couture-wearing cook.
I am not inclined to make recommendations for holiday gifts, but if you want one that will make the grate… 😛
Ma Dame grater, SGD38, is available at Pylones, B1 Wheelock Place | {

9d0f6b30-9bd5-5e36-bb90-eb05dd4ec304_2 | What a handsome and elegant pair the imperial couple remain! The empress’s saucers become her in general, but I am not fond of the large rimmed saucer with the blue bow–it looks too much like a real saucer–and it’s just too large for its forward position. That said, all the empress’s hats go so beautifully with her attire. However, not everyone would have the elegance of carriage to wear these hats! | {

dafb2a22-5603-5b3b-a9df-37d50eb06c3d_1 | Okay people, I am very aware that most of the photos that were taken through the years of Mathilde, and family, was on formal events, and for family portraits. But, I just LLOOVVVE, Leonore in denim, boots/sneakers, and a sweater, or jersey! It is such a treat, and cheer me up, to see this little girl, in casuals. I repeat, I understand, she must wear dresses, to formal events. So Leonore, and big brother, and mum, are the cherry on the cake! For this day!

72ac8d4c-ad36-5761-8b11-8ea806296a01_1 | The first lady made an effort with the fascinator and she not only looks comfortable with it, it also looks very polished with her butterfly dress, kudos
I think both Sofia and Victoria look appropriate considering they don’t want to outshine the Queen. I love Sylvia’s cobalt blue wrap with the hat. It accentuates the blue color. The number of Royal events lately has been heartwarming. Is this what normal is? I think there are some catch-up state visits going on that were cancelled due to the pandemic that are adding extra to the schedule right now, but I am loving it!
I like Queen Sylvia’s royal blue hat. I think it suits her and the colour works well with the suit.
The First Lady looks very pretty. The ecru fascinator is perfect with the butterflies and flowers of her dress.
Princess Sofia looks very chic but Crown Princess Victoria’s look is a little underwhelming.
Silvia suits saturated colors, and this is no exception; this skirt suit wouldn’t have been my first choice for this hat, but it works quite well, especially with the cobalt blue wrap.
First Lady Jenni Haukio looked quite lovely in her fascinator and butterfly-patterned outfit; this definitely bests multiple royal ensembles I’ve seen over the years. Brava!
No surprises from Victoria and Sofia; Victoria’s overall look was the most disappointing of these for me, and while I like Sofia’s outfit and headband and she looks chic in them, it doesn’t make a statement. | {

Michelle writes: Just last year, my lovely mother-in-law was so excited to give me this present. I opened it up, and *bam*. I pulled out a black fascinator clip with a veil, but thought it would be much more, erm, visually arresting, shall we say, to show you this DeathGlam Coyote Fascinator ($95). Now, I see these things all over the place this season, and my fellow editors have written up quite a few, but for a gal who is almost 30 years old, I was quite mystified as to why on earth my mother-in-law was giving me what essentially looked like a hat for a funeral.
I'd love to hear from our Outblush readers on this one. Got any tips for me to incorporate the real (not the coyote skull one) fascinator into my wardrobe without looking like a massive doofus?

I am maybe not the person to ask, because I would wear the coyote one to Thanksgiving without blinking.
Erm. But! I also have several fascinators of a less frightening nature. My advice is to wear them with something you feel comfortable in, and pretend you don't have them on; otherwise, you will end up feeling self-conscious and costumey.
So, my usual stay-at-home-mom wardrobe is jeans, a plainish top, and a cardigan...and sometimes a giant flower in my hair. If you treat it as a normal part of your style, most people around you will simply find it pleasingly quirky. | {

48bb1742-9cca-5893-b3b1-43f1c1b6d63f_1 | I am curious why the Prime Minister’s wife didn’t wear a hat, I mean I don’t think you absolutely have to, but aside from the women of different cultures, I didn’t see any woman without a hat but her. What’s up with that?
Peggyo, I think you should go for it. Nothing says “special” to a woman like hats. I belong to a traditional Baptist church, and some of the hats I’ve seen and worn are great!
Why are the little hats call “fascinators”? Beside the obvious that they are fascinating.
It’s kind of funny, but back when Louisa May Alcott was writing Little Women, the term fascinator was used for a fancy shawl. I loved Mrs. Middleton’s outfit and I really liked Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxemborg. She looked very sweet and I was especially happy that she wore kitten heels. I loathe extremely high heels and those ghastly ones that Victoria Beckham wore were especially ugly. Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden looked lovely too. All these ladies wore hats and I’ll admit to liking real hats better than fascinators.
Princess Beatrice of York took the prize for the most ugly hat. It looked like H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu settled down on her head.
From Wikipedia:
“A fascinator is a headpiece, a style of millinery. The word originally referred to a fine, lacy head covering akin to a shawl and made from wool or lace. The term had fallen almost into disuse by the 1970s..”
Ellen AAR- when I saw Victoria Beckhams shoes, I was impressed. The woman is 7 months pregnant, and she’s wearing heels that have to be 5 inches tall. I do like the look of high heels; I just wish I could wear them.

0a6e920c-ef06-5669-a09f-62dcb8aa7b62_0 | Milan’s Triennale Puts Hats on the Big Screen
- triennale.org
- Il cinema con il cappello. Borsalino e altre storie
What would Charlie Chaplin have been without his bowler, or Indiana Jones sans trilby?
Fred Astaire, Mary Poppins, Zorro – so many characters in film, real and fictional, have been defined by their hats. For those of us lucky enough to be in Milan for fashion week, it’s worth making a pitstop to the Triennale Design Museum, where there is a very moving Borsalino exhibit that focuses on hats in film.
Borsalino has had a long history in film, having started using film to promote its hats all the way back in the early 20th century, using documentaries as well as Hollywood to get the word out.
By the time the Italian gangster films “Borsalino” and “Borsalino & Co.” came out in the 1970s, Borsalino was inventing product placement.
The Triennale exhibit takes visitors into a series of rooms, where film clips explore the role of hats in film…and in life.
There are rooms on eccentric hates, gangsters and hats, funny hats, disturbing hats (horror!), erotic hats, and iconic hats like Fred Astaire’s toppers.
A film on “flying hats’ — hats being blown away by wind (or a bullet, from atop Clint Eastwood’s head) – had me thinking about what a potent metaphor a hat is: it speaks to who we are, and where we are going. As Susan Sarandon and Gina Davis hit the accelerator in the final scene of “Thelma and Louise,” their hats fly away from their heads with wild abandon.

Thanks for looking at the Pretty Cool blog
Fascinator and hat season is upon us, with Ladies Day at Ascot in full flow today and the wedding season peaking.
If you have bought a fascinator or hat this year and have had it a while before the occasion it might just need a little lift. If it is made with sinamay which is the straw mesh type material this is easily moulded back into shape by applying a little steam and the sinamay can then be manipulated or straightened if you should wish to.
Like many people you may being wearing a fascinator or hat from a previous occasion and the above would also apply to this. Some of the feathers may be looking a little drab, if so and if there are plenty on there why not just snip them off at the base, you would never notice and you could even reinvent it by buying some odd feathers and adding another colour to coordinate with a different outfit. A classic Hat or fascinator will never go out of fashion so why not make use of it.
We still have plenty of fascinators and hats for sale at Pretty Cool and as always can give advice on styles via email [email protected] or by telephone 01438 545 181.
Whatever occasion you're attending, we all hope you have an amazing day and would love to have some photographs of our stunning customers to add to our Facebook page.
Once thought to be a thing of the past, ornate head wear for ladies is turning many heads these days. In 2011, the Duchess of Cambridge revealed a stunning red headpiece when she arrived in Canada. Her fascinator was perfect for the Canada Day Celebrations as it contained a beautiful red maple leaf.
At the recent royal wedding, fascinators were very popular. In fact, many guests showed up with them and perhaps the most talked about was the headpiece worn by Princess Beatrice. This highly unusual hat was in the shape of a pretzel and received worldwide recognition. Eventually, it sold at an online auction for over £81,000.
Now, that word fascinators should send Philip Treacy into a bull like rage at a Spanish bull fight. In last months Grazia magazine it was published that 'Philip Treacy declares fascinators are over: They are no more than headbands with a feather stuck on!'. | {

a0568213-7bb1-53e2-b71e-a21f84ac28fe_1 | The really strange thing is, he's said the same words and declarations so many times. In May 2012 Grazia Daily published an article saying 'Philip Treacy on shopping with Sarah Burton, hating Fascinators, and his JFK grudge'. Watching the Royal Ascot coverage is another real joke, with snobbish remarks from male so-called fashion experts commenting on how hats are more stylish when most of the ones they show are in fact a large fascinator or headpiece, because they don't like the term 'Fascinator'. The so-called fashion experts also love to feature the same designer styles, costing many hundreds of pounds and really can't grasp that the vast majority of ladies visiting Ascot are very normal, middle income, and want to look fab on a realistic budget.
Why can't these designers realise that We Love Fascinators? They feel comfortable and can be easily removed or changed without your hair being left flat on your head. We know this is true, as year on year we at Pretty Cool sell more fascinators every year in the £20 - £30 bracket, and guess what - every year they get bolder and more vivid in colour, proving ladies really want to make a statement and look fantastic at the races, or a wedding, or any other excuse to look and feel great!.
Wow, what a beautiful wedding, Kate looked stunning and so did many of their guests. An article in the Telegraph comments on the "Death of the Fascinator", I don't think so, they were there at the wedding worn by many guests including the royals.
Ok, this isn't one of the royals wearing our fascinators but they should have worn one of ours, this is our daughter wearing this obviously her invite was lost in the post as she looks every bit as good as those at the wedding. Perhaps Kate will choose one of ours for her next engagement.
What snobbery is involved with the wearing of fascinators by those who deem to be experts on what is tasteful and what is not. Surely if the royals and top celebrities are wearing fascinators how can they not be tasteful. The telegraph changes the description of the fascinators to suit themselves. When the so called hat resembles a fascinator they call it a headpiece, especially when worn by one of the royals. How convenient for them to change the term when it suits them.

fbee3f46-e6b2-5a26-b300-aa4d9e9f93e1_0 | Queen Mathilde was at the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel in Waterloo today to present awards to laureates of this year’s prestigious Queen Elisabeth Piano Competition. She used this event to début a new calot headpiece made of what looks to be black textured silk. The design features numerous cut-outs across the back that give it a light and summery feel that works beautifully with Mathilde’s leaf printed silk dress.
Designer: likely Fabienne Delvigne
Previously Worn: This hat is new
Previously Worn: This hat is new
Some other reports suggest today’s hat is the same as the one Mathilde wore during her and the King’s inaugural visit to England on March 13, 2014 (below left) or on her visit to Ypres last summer (below right). You’ll note that both of these designs are in fact, different.
The design worn by the Belgian Queen today has a much lighter feel than her other black headpieces, making it a great one for summer. While we didn’t have the best view of it today, what are your initial impressions?
Here is a much better view of this headpiece- a view, I’m afraid, that greatly decreases my like for it. It looks like a sinister hand on Queen Mathilde’s head- pretty creepy.
I love it and agree it is a perfect match for her dress! She looks lovely.
The texture and shapes really make this hat. It’s less formal than the other two and a good match to her dress and the occasion. Would love to get a closer view.
I like these small calot style hats on the back of the head. They add that touch of formality which is Queen Mathilde’s style without hiding her hair or face. These hats fit well with her hairstyles and blend in with her outfits. In other words they don’t take the attention away from her face. But they do have a prettiness or interesting construction of their own, which I think the people attending these events would be able to appreciate when they see her in person.
Nice for summer and nice paired with this dress.
This is the problem with calots: because they’re worn on the back of the head, we can’t really see them and appreciate any of the work that went into creating them. Honestly, I find this disappointing. Mathilde looks lovely, but for me, she might as well not even wear a hat at this rate if she’s gonna still with calots we can hardly ever see. | {

ea0d8d99-b4ab-5958-b4c1-9bce8979d2e6_0 | Ladies' Hat Styles for January 1913
A Stunning Afternoon Hat of Tagal and Paradise Germaine Model; Photographed in Paris for The Illustrated Milliner, January 1913. GGA Image ID # 161b9ded94
Georgette , Suzanne Talbot and Germaine are more difficult to approach than ever ; one has to have a very plausible reason for being admitted to the respective sanctums, and is sadly disappointed in not being shown the expected Spring models, but merely a very few stray Riviera hats Madame happens to have on hand.
Impressive as all Parisians are, the Balkan war, with all the complications it might entail, seems to influence the designers greatly ; the anxiety and suspense is general, hence the scarcity in innovations and the designers' reticence in displaying the few novelties they doing me was a very large Louis XV shape of brass-colored have.
One new design I coaxed Mine, Georgette into show tagal, faced with printed chiffon showing a Byzantine pattern in many vivid tints. The crown, which originally must have been straight and low, was draped like an East Indian turban, looking very massive and a bit cumbersome under its thick torsade of printed mousseline and plain silk crepe.
The effect produced by this crown was exactly that of the original East Indian turban introduced more than a hundred years ago by Mme. de Staël , and the contrast'. with the soft, graceful contours of the brim most effective.
From a few casual remarks I overheard, large and very large shapes will be the favorites at the Salon Georgette next season and heron and osprey will be selected in preference to ostrich in the feather garnitures; flowers, too, will be employed by Georgette, and in greater quantities and more fantastic arrangements than in previous seasons.
Many ultra-chic novelties in plumes dyed in two-toned effect and curled and bent in new lines are making their appearance in advance Spring millinery. Reboux , as usual, manifests her preference in employing ostrich and aigrette trimming almost to the exclusion of all other garnitures, with the possible exception of wide, supple ribbons and ornaments of jet. Both these latter trimming materials, however, are featured solely in conjunction with plumage.
Maria Guy's new models are similar to Reboux', perhaps not quite as conservative in outline and design, but equally faultless in taste.
This designer is partial to dull grays and browns, also to vague neutral tones of blue and bronze, and she achieves the best results in simple afternoon chapeaux, in which most depends upon the judicial arrangement of the garniture. | {

d44e6149-1bc4-5009-9a42-0c13d40742d6_1 | Princess Mako does the sweetest little head bow to the cameraperson shooting the video — 0:44 to 1:00 –so gracious! I wonder if the rest of the Imperial Family do this too.
Queen Mathilde has lately given us a run of contrasting, mid-to-dark-coloured small hats and matching accessories paired with a lighter-coloured dress. I’m not convinced by this styling strategy, particularly in today’s case, where the inclusion of many small contrasting accessories encircling an already dramatic dress has resulted in a helluvalotta focal points. (Another shot of Mathilde indoors, without the gloves [or hat, apparently], shows a much less busy look.) Following Camilla’s lead with her recent black-on-white Garter Day outfit, I’d substitute gloves and clutch in a neutral nude or metallic, and carry the focus upward with a more visible hat — a large plain black, or plain white with a small black accent.
HQ, my fave of the lovely hats you picked is the black-and- white of Murley and Co.
Wonderful poster of the Duchess of Cambridge in her many hats! This demonstrates more variety than we give her credit for.
Love the use of texture in the two natural straw hats.
I wonder whether Catherine Amalia raided her mom’s closet for that dress?
Those Duchess of Cambridge hat drawings would make great emojis!
Queen Mathilde’s hat looks a bit too small maybe enhanced by the placement ,I wish it was slightly bigger, she looks wonderful very polished look.I like Meghan’s hat, I want one,
Really like Louise McDonald’s hat but in a different color perhaps white or blue
Duchess of Sussex looks wonderful. | {

2bdfae99-3af2-5b8b-a878-a9af1529a022_0 | Belgian Royal Family attend the concert Prelude to the National Day
Author Hellen Electra At Thursday, July 21, pretty, Mathilde
I agree
The dress is too long and to dark for the summer. Astrid s skirt is not nice, its siuts herr not. This picture is not to remember.
Princess Astrid, the proportions are all wrong; and the shoes? She doesn't look at all comfortable
Princess Astrid, the proportions are all wrong; and the shoes? She doesn't look at all comfortable
A bit too early 80s to my taste. Her hair is a hit however (don't know why, it's almost always the same style but some days it turns out a lot better). And this is an interesting outfit on Astrid. Maybe a wee bit girlish with the bell skirt and off the shoulder top but it's a nice colour combo, the black and marigold on white. Hm. Interesting, to say the least.
Oh Mathilde why so frumpy. You are still a young woman!
Not my cup of tea. Agree with ZL too 80s, to glittery and to much like a winterdress at high summer and Astrid...I take the fifth ;)
Wouldn't it be helpful if, after you have tried on an outfit, to take a photo of you in the clothes? With instant pictures now, you can quickly see what might be embarrassing or wrong for your body. Those stripes on the skirt are not good. They make Princess Astrid look like she is pregnant. The bow draws even more attention. And it all could be so much better with more thought put into the design. I like the colors and the shape of the skirt. It looks fun. Unfortunate choice, otherwise.
Granny style this time. | {

It’s a tie between Tessy’s dove grey/navy saucer fascinator and 13 on Maria Teresa for my favorite of the Luxembourg ladies. Number 5 on Claire also looked great. My personal favorite has to be Maria Teresa’s green fascinator; I’m biased because green is my favorite color and I love this hat, but I didn’t like it with her outfit. She should’ve paired it with a grey (or possibly navy) outfit, then it would’ve been perfect.
I love Grand Duchess Maria Theresa’s green cocktail hat! Love it! She gets point for color and creativity all year long!
Princess Tessy’s saucer is lovely.
I’m a little tired of the pillboxes!
I agree with your choices! The green cocktail hat and Princess Tessy’s saucer hat.
Love Princess Tessy’s grey and navy saucer! I want it! I also like Grand Duchess Maria Teresa’s black pillbox with a white bow at the back. Very lovely and occasion appropriate.
My favorite is Grand Duchess Maria Teresa’s green cocktail hat she wore to meet the Dutch. Fabulous shade on her and a very interesting detail on the hat.
Grand Duchess Maria Teresa’s leaf green straw cocktail hat is simply divine! I LOVE it! (green is my favorite color)
I love the swirly green one, and the gray saucer with navy trim, and the wavy navy picture hat.
Princess Tessy’s saucer and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa’s black pillbox and pink brimmed hats take the prize for me. I think the beige-y hat with the huge flower is the big loser. | {

80d6f666-66d3-5b74-8580-975e587e4dbe_2 | Sofia’s go-to hairstyle won’t support a hat well. It’s too poofy. She’ll need to let a hairdresser fool around with her hair to figure out the best approach at some point. And as much as I hope to see her embrace real hats one day, I know I sure wouldn’t have been up for messing around and trying something new when I was two weeks postpartum, so I certainly don’t mind seeing her stick to the tried and true now. Shoot, at two weeks in, she gets points from me just for standing in heels at all!
I’m not sure I like the queen’s hat on her up close, something about the fit and proportion look wrong for her face and hair, but it makes a very striking silhouette from a distance and is certainly easy for folks in the crowd to pick out. So, for this event, I like it. And maybe I’d like it up close had she worn her hair up. The color is certainly lovely on her.
Wow! These are great choices. I like the way Queen Silvia’s picture hat balances out the flared coat. The black patent leather trim on CP Victoria’s white hat is unexpected. The minimalist look is perfect with the dramatic striped dress, although, as others have noted, not a good match with the cream coat. While Princess Madeline’s is pretty, I prefer the simplicity of the others.
It was such a pleasure to see several “real” hats, even complete with brims, at this occasion – we’ve had so many where fascinators, cocktail hats and other small headpieces predominate, that this was a lovely change! (I don’t mean just in Sweden, I mean at all sorts of royal occasions). I like all three of the proper hats worn here, and Silvia’s was particularly attractive as a statement change from many of her usual hats.
I’m so glad to see Silvia back is a wide-brimmed hat! I had grown tired of all the calots and pillboxes, and this is a great one for her. My only minor complaint is I wish the hat color was a bit more saturated to better match her coat color, but beyond that, I love it! Definitely one to repeat. | {

0ac6c67b-6aad-535e-86be-0317bd03147b_0 | Today, we come to our third and final post in our 75th Birthday Celebration for Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands. We’ve already looked at her early hats and her funny hats– today we conclude with the majestic hats. These are hats fit for a Queen, and hats that I think show Queen Beatrix at her millinery best. Like the funny hats, these fit into several distinct categories.
The Upturned Brims. I suspect at the top of a Queen’s job description is to make sure she is seen by her people. Hats can make this difficult sometimes but Queen Beatrix is a master at finding large hats that do not restrict her visibility to the masses. One of her secrets? Many hats with upturned brims.

The Large-Brimmed Flat Tops. While we tend to associate Queen Beatrix with her Hat Cakes (and multi-tiered Hat Cakes), the majority of her hats over the past 20 years have had a brim and a flat crown. These large beauties exude a regal presence and make Beatrix look very queenly, indeed.

0ac6c67b-6aad-535e-86be-0317bd03147b_2 | After 154 hats in this marvellous journey of Beatrix’s finest millinery moments, I know I have to choose a favourite. While there are so many here (and in the previous two posts) I love, none quite compare to this one, #155, worn on September 22, 2012 to re-open the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. This hat has all the criteria of a majestic and perfect hat. Jaunty asymmetrical shape? Check. Large slightly upturned brim? Check. Ombre bands around the crown? Check. Something spectacular to look at on the back? Check? Gorgeous colour? Check. For me, this one is the unquestionable winner.
We’ve now seen 155 of Beatrix’s hats. Which one is your favourite?!
Photos from Corbis, Zimbio, Dutch Photo Press and Viva Maxima Blog
My favorite is the purple one with leaves wrapped around it #154.
#144-155 are the best!
Dear HatQueen, first of all let me thank you for this effort to gather and post 155 stunning pictures!
I liked them all. I didn’t know so many shades of colours and so many shapes exists in the world.
My favourites are #102,128,132,135 and 155. Hard to coose 🙂
You are most welcome! It is very hard to choose but you have picked some beauties. I still can’t believe her reign is nearly over.
No clear favorite, but I will say Bea looks fabulous in bright colors. She looks absolutely smashing in red #108 AND pink #155!
I thought I had replied but YES she looks wonderful in that red hat!
I love #132 the hat she wore for Princess Amalia’s baptism. It was sweet- after having three boys, she finally had a granddaughter. The pink hat was so sweet and I loved the flowers on the side.
It was very sweet indeed. Although- Amalia was her second granddaughter (after Eloise). No matter- Beatrix was probably thrilled to have some daughters born into the family!
Queen Beatrix changed from her signature hat style in the early 90’s, then came back to it in the late 90’s. In between there are some very fun looking fantastical hats. How did this come about? Was there a different designer or consultant during this period?
Great question- and one I don’t have an answer to. Maybe another reader here knows who designed these hats?
UPDATE: Gottfried, I’ve done some digging and wrote a post for you to answer this question. Here it is! | {

c79bbe37-5cce-573c-bd2f-3026e059e707_0 | Fascinators and small hats have become very popular in recent years. Due to their size they are a lot more flexible and allow you to wear them in less formal settings than just a wedding or the races!:

f5078333-532c-5d6b-a979-c843f14aee96_1 | A formal men's summer hat made of straw, also known as a Skimmer. These hats became popular in the late 1800's as a warm weather alternative to formal wool fedoras or derby hats, and were worn often by sailors. Women sometimes wore lighter straw versions of the Boater. The hats became part of the uniform for boys' schools (and in places like Australia and South Africa it is still common) as well as unofficial uniform hats for the FBI! Straw Hat Day became a tradition in many cities - a holiday when all the men would switch to their straw hats for summer. In Philadelphia, May 15th is still the official day to switch from wool to straw. A straw boater would cost about four dollars in the 1920's.
The headband has been worn in some form for centuries, but the flappers favored the look because it was simple and flattered their new short hair. Headbands were made of anything from ribbon to rhinestone. Daisy's headband in the Great Gatsby film is platinum and diamond with pearls and a detachable brooch. Made by Tiffany and Co, it costs $200,000!
The fascinator is a small headpiece either fixed on a headband or attached to a comb or clip. Versions of the fascinator have existed for centuries, but the term was only coined in the mid-20th century! Often featuring feathers, beads, or fabric flowers, these small head pieces are an elegant choice for ladies looking for a smaller style than a full hat. Veiled versions are often worn for weddings and funerals.

You can keep your hat on!
Tomorrow I'll fly to Munich - to visit Son and lovely Daughter-in-Law.
AND to go to Ina Böckler.
Ina Böckler is one of the few Grande Dames of milliners in Germany. She made hats for the stars and starlets. And one for me.
It looks much prettier as in the photo above (and I hope me too - I pout - not very becoming at all, not becoming for the chin).
But I had a reason.
There are times when one should try to conform oneself a tiny weeny little bit to one's age. No danger that I will exaggerate that (if - then more into the other direction:-).
Above I am in the pouts because Son had used an example that convinced even me:
"Mama", he said, "per se it is a lovely hat. But if I drive a Pontiac Firebird (which he did at that time - the apple never fells far from the tree) I do not paint it pink as an extra."
Home truth. Now - I think very highly of his advice. So I put the hat in its beautiful blue hatbox. Away. Grinding my teeth.
And then last summer in Munich I saw that Ina Böckler's hat-atelier was sold to a new milliner. And they do alterations. So yesterday I telephoned.
And will bring her the hat to change the pink fox ("We'll make a nice collar of it!" she chirped) for a silver-grey fox (my idea).
I'm really curious if it will work out.
But I "see it".
And to be forearmed I will read a book on the flight which arrived yesterday:
"Going Gray. How To Embrace Your Authentic Self With Grace And Style" by Anne Kreamer.
Ha - never any problem with that.
So: the fox will be silver - but the remainder of the hat will stay -
PINK!
Well, I like it pink - but why not have a change?
I have embraced grey and haven't looked back. My hair colour was nearly black and I believe it is foolish to try to retain colour like that. I rather enjoy my 'highlights'. I hope you'll show off the newly-trimmed hat.
Dear Pondside,
especially black-haired women get a wonderful grey. I keep the colour of my hair as it grows - so it shines and is soft to the skincolour.
Can't wait to see the result! x
Me too - I brought it there yesterday. | {

0749835a-27cf-5af2-aa6f-323c42abffc4_0 | King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium continued their inaugural tour of their country with a visit to Namur, the capital of Wallonia and Namur provinces today. Queen Mathilde sported another new hat, this one in an autumnal pumpkin orange wool. This “New Look” (from Dior’s 1947 collection that took fashion in an entirely new direction) inspired hat hat featured a unified, curved crown and brim trimmed with a large ribbon motif. The brim raised at the back to reveal a flat bow against Mathilde’s head. While I’m still on the fence about the shape of this hat (it seems a little awkward to me) I really like the colour on Mathilde. What do you think of this hat?
Designer: Fabienne Delvigne
Photos from Getty as indicated
Wow Mathilde looks great! Love the suit as well, great Fall colors.
It is a modern version of a thirties/fourtees look…..and I like it.
Love the hat, love the dress, love the tie, love the suit, love the queen, love the king. LOVE.
I love this hat!! It gives her a edgy look. And I love how Philippe accessorize his tie to his wife’s hat! They both look great!
I love absolutely everything about this ensemble, especially the hat! Orange is Mathilde’s go-to color and she looks great in it. I love those earrings too. The suit is crazy flattering for her and suitably autumnal.
I think she looks fabulous in this hat too!
I have to say – since Phillipe became king he doesn’t look so stiff and uncomfortable – he looks happy and more relaxed. He is lucky to have such a lovely queen too 🙂
Fabulous! Mathilde – and Phillipe – how to do orange right!
I. want. this. hat! Unfortunately, Delvigne is not in my budget. 😦 I will have to content myself with photos of Mathilde. Hoping we see this one again!
Love it:)
Absolutely. Fabienne Delvigne is creating some amazing hats for Mathilde and Maxima these days. I also love Philippe’s matching tie. Too adorable!
I love this hat! She looks wonderful here. She got everything right! I also love how her husband’s tie always compliments her outfits! (“No Philippe, please don’t wear that tie wear this lovely orange one instead! LOL 🙂 )
Great hat. Looks wonderful on her and I would love to see the back. Thank-you.
I love, love, love this hat! The color is gorgeous and perfect for Mathilde. The shape is unusual, but the seamless flow works well with mathilde’s face and her hair-do. | {

About JCN Fascinators & Little Hats
I started producing my collection in 2014. I mainly use recycled fabrics and accessories, with the idea of giving a new life to old designer clothing, precious fabric leftovers and samples, vintage costume jewelry, buttons and accessories of all kinds. Almost all of my hats have feathers, natural or dyed. I never make hats I wouldn't wear myself!
When I create a hat, I focus on the proportions, on the harmony of colors and materials and very much on the little details.
I called my brand JCN because I wanted to dedicate it to my late mother Jutta and grandmother (Oma) Nina.
They are my inspiration. I inherited from them a sense of creativity and a passion for elegance. Since I was very little, my mother taught me to sew and to recycle any kind of materials for creative purposes; with Oma Nina, a ceramist, I used to attend during summers the ceramic schools in Worpswede, cradle of the German Expressionism. From her I learned the art of taking care of my appearance. My paternal grandmother Olga, Countess della Frattina, passed away when I was still a child but thanks to her I keep the strong persuasion that a woman doesn’t board a cruise ship without white gloves!
My logo is designed by my father Andrea della Frattina.
I try to make hats that are easy and comfortable to wear, never over the top but still with a strong sense of frivolity. I believe a hat must inspire, make you joyful, be a topic of conversation, and this is never achieved by staying too much on the safe side!
So far I've had very encouraging feedback from people.
My Vertigo inspired hat was selected for the 2016 London Hat Week!
An Italian fashion blogger wrote a very nice article about my hats (
),
I had a Honorable Mention in the Mad Hatters Society contest "Outside of the Hatbox" (
),
a very successfull exhibition in Arezzo, Tuscany in May 2015 (
)
and in Rome at Mercato Monti in September 2014 and November 2016.
Quotes about hats that inspired me:
"Wearing a hat versus not wearing a hat is the difference between looking adequate and looking your best" (Martha Sliter) | {

Really special unusual - a piece of Art. Looks fabulous with our new jacket. Have added a lovely vintage 1930s brooch to it too. This would steal the show at Royal Ascot without being ott. Very scupltural.

2285c523-10c0-5da8-aa42-e958eece32c6_2 | The famous movie bang bang, the hat cowboy is also very popular at parties sertanejas around Brazil. He usually has a high and large cup elongated flaps, which are facing up the sides.
The tip of the mirela Lacerda to hit at the time of use: C As his name says, let him to beat around the bush.
PORK PIE
Much like the bowler hat, the pork pie also has flaps are short and rounded up. The difference is that, instead of being curved like a cup, coco, she is flat like a pie(that is, pie, in English). The model was much used by jazz musicians in the 1930s and today makes any look more moderninho.
The tip of the mirela Lacerda to hit at the time of use: if you want to make a hipster look, he is the right choice!
THE VISOR
A kind of hat without the top, the visors have a fever in the 1990s and have gained attention recently in swimwear. As the name says, its main function is to To protect your eyes from the sunBut, unlike the caps, they buried the head.
The tip of the mirela Lacerda to hit at the time of use: for use at the beach, in the pool, outdoor sports, and only! In the asphalt does not work very well, right?
CAP
The classic of parties of royalty, the cap was created in the mid twentieth century during the era of post- war. He is nothing more than a small hat, which is generally placed on the side of the head.
The tip of the mirela Lacerda to hit at the time of use: for impact at weddings and feasts of the gala is the perfect accessory.
FASCINATOR
The more glamorous between the hats, the fascinators are as small as the shields and are generally made with feathers. Only decorative, they serve to adorn a look that will be used in important events. Often the Fascinator is accompanied by the voilette, a kind of veil that was used to protect the skin of the face.
The tip of the mirela Lacerda to hit at the time of use: case of the cap. It takes attitude and be confident to use both. The hair also has to be with a style that enhances the accessory. | {

f2777cfe-cb85-5ec4-b29c-c7b5d15a556b_1 | Yes, all the skirts she has worn these days are hideous but specially the light one... horrible with those granny boots.
They are there to work and share ideas. Hope it is a good week for all!
I think Queen Mathilde looks quite elegant. I would love to see her jacket more clearly. It looks very pretty. I find when she is at this sort of event rather than doing her "Queen" work, she looks quite stylish. Queen Rania is extremely intelligent and very pretty, but she does choose some strange things to wear. The Argentinian first lady is always elegant and I think Crown Princess Mette-Marit looks lovely. Queen Maxima looks okay,definitely not the place to be flamboyant. She looks seriously working.
Willem Alexander wasn't there. Juist Máxima. | {

0bd90e23-fd8f-53bb-9588-d8b0d189c922_3 | You need your eyes checked. The royal blue hat with the net (and matching sunglasses) is boring? The beatiful straw hat Princess Sibilla is wearing is boring? Not on your life. I’d hate to see what you consider “exciting”. True Royals are elegant. They don’t need fireworks shooting off the side of their hat to be noticed.
Amen, sister!
I’ll take one of those “boring” hats over the ones you think “rock” any day.
Um…hello? Am I the only person who sees that pink and orange TRAIN WRECK?
THANK YOU. I was starting to wonder if I was reading the same page as everyone else.That hat (and hideous matching oufit) should be labeled a federal offense.
And what about that pink feathered thing?
SOOOO high fashion. LOVE the pink hat, hate the dress
You can’t be serious? That pink feathered hat is almost as terrible as the dress worn with it. No woman should wear Pepto-Bismal pink ANYTHING after the age of 32.
Hush now. Us older gals can wear pretty pink whenever we like! I am fixin to wear pink like this to my grandnephew’s wedding this summer. That’s a load of hogwash saying older ladies can’t wear pink. Shame on you.
I am very sorry but this colore pink is for little girls, not for a woman
The gray and yellow flowered head thingy her daughter is wearing is also terrible. And that gray and yellow dress is a shapeless potatoe sack.
I was thinking paper-bag-princess for the gray and yellow sack. Its not even ironed. The mother of the groom (Archduchess Marie-Astrid of Austria) had the best hat in my estimation. It had a good American flair for an American wedding.
I agree with Gottfried. Archduchess Marie-Astrid looks so elegant. Not too dressy and not too formal. Just right.
I really like this orange and pink hat! It is so fresh and like spring time. And it makes this princess look young! | {

11059da7-5fc5-5347-8f83-1ef0639156a5_1 | Number 1 is a glorious confection, perfect for the Ascot gavotte. I hate fascinators (a misnomer if there ever was one) but even number 3 is quite fetching. A nice set of hats. She carries off a big hat every bit as well as the QM.
Boy, there isn’t a bad one in the bunch! No. 1 is spectacular….. No. 3 is beautiful and spectacular. Camilla’s confidence shines through in all hats she wears.
I would wear the brimmed hats at 1,2,4 and 6. My favorite is 1, because the color is so good, and it looks like leaves are raining down onto your hat. I think 3 is OK for her, but it’s not my taste. Hat 5, I think is just too busy. if it was smaller, or even if it didn’t have the extra flowers, it could have worked. I just think those mauve flowers are way too much on an already complex hat.
These are all great! Lots of volume, great shapes, very dramatic. #5 is very special, something we don’t see everyday.
The Duchess really loves Philip Treacy, doesn’t she? And, don’t we all!?!
I think every one of these hats is a success. Even the fascinator! (I think the fascinator works because it has a lot of visual mass, it’s not just a fuzzy doo-dad hanging off the side of her head.)
I think I like #2 and #6 the best. I love the big ascot hats and the one she wore to Zara’s wedding — although, it looks like the edge of meadow that didn’t get mowed. Still pretty, though!
2 and 5 are my favorites- Just glorious. She’s definitely one of my favorite royals- great hats great jewels I usually love her styles too.
I love 1 – it’s so Ascot!
#3 ..she looks full of mischief in that picture..sort of cute.
I really like hat #2, although I’ve always thought that the color doesn’t go well enough with the jacket. Changer the jacket; keep the hat.
Hats #1. #3 and #5 are typical for the Duchess’s over-the-top style and look fabulous on her. #3 is surprisingly flattering as well.
At first my thought was that hat number 1 was sooooo big…but then I really like the way the feathers seem to be floating around the hat.
I can’t decide, but I did notice they all look fabulous!
I love them all, although I’d like to see #5 from a different angle. Probably 4 and 6 are my favorites. | {

ee21e8c0-44c8-540e-9ffb-cc0697e4f84f_0 | Queen Máxima was in Nijmegen today to officially open three state of the art operation rooms in the Medical Innovation and Technology Expert Center (MITEC) of Radbout University. She used the occasion to début a new fuzzy brown calot hat.
In theory, the mix of brown accessories with Máxima’s pink dress is a great success. In reality, however, this hat looks looks more like a well worn thrift shop find than the couture millinery it actually is. While the calot shape is a great one for Máxima (especially at such less formal engagements), I think the material used for this hat is all sorts of wrong.
Designer: Fabienne Delvigne
Previously Worn: This hat is new
Photos from Patrick van Katwijk/dpa/Corbis, Patrick van Katwijk/dpa/Corbis and Patrick van Katwijk/dpa/Corbis
Queen Máxima must have split a coconut in half and turned it upside down on her head! This hat is hideous in texture and colour and looks wintery, so all wrong with this spring or summer dress. I like the pink colour of the dress on her, and the gathering at the neckline is flattering to her.
Two things.
1. I think the hat asks for a different hairstyle.
2. The hat looks fit for mid-winter while the dress looks fit for early spring or autumn. They go together in colour, but most definitely not in season.
Sorry, but I can’t even BEGIN to wrap my head around this one! (drum roll!)
The one redeeming quality of this hat – it doesn’t hide her most beautiful smile.
I love this! It’s not a shape we’re used to, specially with the hair completely tucked in looking like a pixie, but this is why I follow the blog! I only falter on the color/shade of the fur, if the white fuzz weren’t there it would look less thrift shop. I would love to see it in a darker version and with a substantial winter coat, yum!
I”m totally on the fence about the hat. On the one hand, the texture/material is strange, on the other hand, I like it a little anyway. It’s unconventional so not boring, I guess. She looks very nice overall. | {

b641bd55-d2f7-5766-bdda-cf05215912fa_2 | The black and white dress code is a throw back to Swedish Court Dress which was the norm for many years and stopped in the 1970’s I believe, There are some lovely photos of the current King’s mother and sisters wearing such garb. I also agree that Silvia’s hat is too summery for the rest of her ensemble. I also wonder – or perhaps fear is the more appropriate word – if some of the younger royals such as the Bernadotte sisters and Mette-Marit are not – gasp – hat lovers and will only rarely wear hats in the future. Say it isn’t so!
All these women are most attractive. Queen Silvia is at least wearing a hat, and a nice one at that. It would be good if her daughters followed suit.
Victoria could have gone for a beautiful monochrome cartwheel hat and that suit could have looked amazing. I like it as it is, it just missing something. Madeleine’s bow is equally fine, just meh.
At least Silv had a go. I’d like this hat a bit bigger, but let’s take what we can… | {

06976ada-dcbd-5134-b5fc-032e2fb068f0_2 | I greatly admire Queen Maxima’s creativity and verve, in which she rightly places a lot of confidence. Unfortunately, once in a great while these traits lead her astray–and this is one of those times. I do love the colors in this outfit, but that’s it. It appears, though it may just be due to the photography, that the belt clashes badly with the other greens. The dress makes her legs look awkward, an effect probably enhanced by the green shoes, which visually shorten the leg. The hat is rather pretty from the front, but not from the back, as mentioned. The total effect is clunky. Not her best day, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I get where she’s going…. but she should have known when to stop. One, okay maybe three too many green accessories here. The dress with one and neutrals would have been much better. And that hat is a bit messy I’ll give you that. Not one her best, still I love her commitment to a look and the fact she’s always having the BEST time!
I agree with Hat Queen that a nicer hairdo, such as a full chignon, would have filled the void in the back and set this headpiece off to better advantage. I like the vibrant green and don’t mind the whole outfit; it’s one that Maxima can get away with when no one else could. She makes me smile and sometimes laugh– and how great is that!?
And oh those earrings! And oh those shoes! She is truly the Queen of accessories.
I’m not a fan of the outfit but I am fascinated by the luminous color. Banana leaf! Who’d’a thunk it?
A definite no from me on this sea monster kind of grippy thing on her head. Well, after the wonderful outfits in Italy we can’t have it all.
This seems quite messy for Fabienne Delvigne! I don’t recall ever seeing the base before and the straw looks clumsily put together. Maybe the summer intern did this hat and Max wanted to give him or her a boost in confidence.
I don’t mind the green with the black & white, that’s different. But there’s way too much going on with the focus-pulling pattern on the dress, the focus-pulling shoes, the fringe on the shawl, the big earrings, etc. Pare it down to the green hat and belt and leave everything else black and then it would be so much better. | {

40491ade-e48c-53d8-9fb8-7f84dd198446_1 | Also fascinators. I kind of have an issue with fascinators because they feel so played out now, and they’re surprisingly harder to wear than you might think. A fascinator typically wants a heart-shaped face and dramatic eyes because you’re competing for attention with a very localized object. Then there’s the eyebrow grooming situation. Good hats require good brows. And “done” (usually up) hair. That’s a lot of commitment for a hat.
I think fashion historians will back me up when I say the immaculately tailored strong eyebrow of the forties and fifties was a direct result of the hats that were en vogue. Without a good brow, all the attention goes to your hat and not to your face, which makes the whole look go top-heavy-in-a-bad-way. I swear I’ll get to doing that eyebrow tutorial. Someday.
Judy Garland (I know I said Jesus, but I don’t have any youtube of Jesus):
Easter is about Judy Garland because of Easter Parade.
Next year I swear I’m going to do an homage to Hannah Brown (Judy Garland)’s Easter outfit. True, the high pink gloves might be a bit more Miss Piggy than Miss Garland on me, but that doesn’t make it any less fabulous.
Comments, questions, thoughts o’ the day? Put ’em in the comments and let’s see where this takes us!
My friend (who is mid-30’s) wore the HELL out of a vintage Easter Hat yesterday. Though maybe it helped that it wasn’t actually an Easter hat – it was the hat her Mom wore when she left her wedding reception, some 50 years ago. It was fairly simple and not too large, but she was still unique in wearing a hat at all. She did go modern with the rest of her outfit: a form fitting yellow sweater, gray pencil skirt, and stilettos.
I would also like to register my complaint that none of the left over, on sale easter candy is jelly beans. I’ve tried two stores, and no dice. I’m not even picky – I’d take any type of bean. :(
Jen, I bought Starburst jellybeans for my rental childrens’ baskets. Meh. Give me the old disgusting Brach’s any day of the week.
Also I want to be clear that I don’t object to vintage hats, it’s just they’re rarely well-deployed. Your friend sounds like she did it Just Right, and thus gets the much sought-after Plumcake Seal of Approval (not made of actual seals). | {

606f15de-a576-53ee-8a0f-e990139515a0_1 | Here’s a lovely hat worn on Remembrance Day 2001. It dates from at least the mid-1990’s when it was worn while in mourning for the Princess of Wales.
Last but not least, we can’t leave out this dramatic feathered creation worn to Lord Brabourne’s memorial service in November 2005. I suspect it wasn’t new then but this is the only time I’ve ever seen it worn. It is quite a unique look for HM!
that feathered one made me go “whoa!”
That feathered hat is amazing. I don’t recall ever having seen it. Thank you for your 3 sets of pictures.
Thanks, Baxter! I’ll update the post as soon as I can.
I am very fond of 1, 5, 7 and 9. There is a lot about 6 that I like but wish they had done something different with the hatband. My favorite is 8. And I am not typically a big fan of this shape but the proportions and embellishments for me are spot on. This is a hat blog and not a brooch blog but the brooch in 6 is gorgeous. The look on HM’s face in 6 makes me chuckle. Thank you for putting this together.
I knew we wouldn’t have nearly as many as 25, but I’m surprised there are only 10, and 6 of them are similar in overall design. I had not seen #2 and #4 before, but I’m glad #4 has been retired as it is not flattering for HM in my opinion; #2 is, however, quite flattering in a way I would not expect. #6 is my favorite of this group, followed closely by #8 and then #3. What I’m most disappointed in is the lack of wider brimmed black hats; any she still wears all are small cloche-styles.
November 10, 2002×594
I believe #4 was for a meeting with the Pope at the Vatican. You can just see the colors of the Swiss guards uniform through the veil. One of my favorite black hats.
I too particularly like hat #1 and always have wished it would be repeated.
Hats #6 through #10 all bear a certain similarity. I greatly prefer #9, the brim and fabric of which I really like. I believe that hats #9 and #10 obviously were made to match the coats (fabric and button match), whereas the other black hats and black coats switched around.
#3 always have made me think it looks crushed or bent by accident. It does make the Queen look a little like a Dr. Seuss character. | {

d3d66794-d46f-50dc-83c5-619a063088d4_3 | I agree with you, love the Valentino but Bea's hat is too much for her. Not helped by the heavily applied black eyeliner and unaturally white teeth. Poor Eugenie has it wrong on every count.
Tara was definitely trying to hide her nose. Apparently she's having it done again.
Hope you're well and enjoying sun, long may it stay! xx

98bb4bd0-f54c-5522-89f9-cb1d36d75832_1 | The ladies looked very elegant for evening, which made up for (imo) too much frou-frou in the day looks.
I except that Mathilde repeats lilac gown from Armani which she wore during celebration of 70's birthday of King of Sweden. It 's simply beautiful.Also dress with flowers is pretty but image destroys hat :)
Mathilde is 2x prachtig.
Lovely lady, always nice to see her fashion choices. I think her day dress could have done without the fascinator, but beautiful nonetheless.
Mathilde est une belle femme et une grande reine! J'aime bien sa robe "rouge" avec des fleurs...
Nice outfits on the Governor General's wife. Mathilde's gown is beautiful and coordinates with her sash. The tiara goes well with the butterfly pin she is wearing to hold the sash; matched scale.
La tiara es toda de grandes brillantes regaló de la Reina Fabiola
Love both dresses and the red hat too. It gives her a raffish air. All the other accessoires are well chosen too. It is kind of her not to wear the big gems but to keep it simple. | {

Where, by the way, alcohol (including my afternoon martini) is prohibited:
Probably my favorite of all Mary Tobin’s cute hats came from my sister-in-law Courtney, who is a closet online shopping fiend. I call it the frenchie hat since it looks vaguely French sailor to me. When she wears it I can’t stop taking iPhone pics.
My view at the bottom of the slide (don’t worry, MT fans, it’s a mini-slide and I spot her the whole time!):
Wooooaahhh!!
Standing tall:
Do you love it or what? Or do you think she looks like a pirate? Or like Katherine Hepburn or Jo March wearing an old-timey slouchy hat?
Wish I could pull off hats with such panache. . .
I couldn’t find the Frenchie hat online—the brand is Bubele— but here are some similar styles.
And I’m linking up with thescribblepad‘s Little Days.
I love her frenchie hat…and basically everything MT wears. She is totally going to be styling us in 20 years. | {

4ad9b10c-1911-5538-90b9-2113f0a578de_1 | Five years ago, Treacy himself declared the fascinator “dead”, thanks to the proliferation of glue-gunned high street headbands. “The word fascinator sounds like a dodgy sex toy,” he added.
Indeed, to gaze out over the congregation of many a modern wedding is the sartorial equivalent of the music hall turn. That joke isn’t funny any more.
So, let us applaud Lillian Smith and her bath puff for rekindling some of the verve and the wit of the fascinator – or, indeed, for drawing its wearisome reign to a close. Either way, Isabella Blow would surely be proud. | {

1d09b293-0e44-5620-b6a5-8e07553f9120_0 | I have been having so much fun designing for next year's fall line. I gave myself the challenge of coming up with a fleece fascinator. The thing is that fleece is so practical and fascinators have nothing at all to do with practicality. So, this is what I came up with. I have taken some liberties with the word fascinator. I guess it's really more a tuque or cloche, but it's mostly about the giant flower, so I think it's legal. I have put these two up for sale in my etsy shop. There are a lot more colours on the way.

Hi Anna -
I love the big rose, and I don't mind that it's more of a touque than a cloche! By the way, I just wrote a nice fat post about you on my blog. I love your work.

Duchess Kate corresponds to the traditional image of women and Ds.

Kasha is also available in navy, red, black and natural hues.
Do not wear it in the rain, as this hat is made of natural straw.

37312257-f4a0-5af0-b15d-e1c15be75f31_1 | “I think our success will be the morning of the Calgary Stampede parade to see hundreds of people wearing cowboy hat fascinators as a little tribute to her, and hopefully have lots of people even with their own homemade ones, or whatever style that looks like,” she said.
“I think that would just be a lot of fun.”
Cherniwchan described Kate's Canada Day maple leaf fascinator as “absolutely beautiful and elegant.”
“Let's face it: she's absolutely a stunning woman; she's very classy and carries it well,” she said.
“So hopefully we've got lots of people in Calgary here that will wear their own Stampede Fascinators in just the same light: classy and with elegance.”
Cherniwchan said they'll be doing their own “market research” during the Stampede to see if there's broader interest in the specialized fascinators.
“I guess I sort of see a lot of maybe younger girls wanting to wear it in future years,” she said.
“But if it's a one-hit wonder and it's just because all the worlds collided with the royal wedding, the Calgary Stampede and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge coming to Calgary this year, then you know what? It's been a fun ride.” | {

c75296d9-ac0d-5d8b-9d51-02a3e4201cce_0 | Grand Ducal Family of Luxembourg attended 2018 Pontifical Mass
Author Hellen Electra At 5/06/2018
Label: CROWN PRINCESS STEPHANIE, LUXEMBOURG ROYAL, MARIA TERASA,ia Teresa looks wonderful. The rest...
GD Maria Teresa looks fantastic, that suit the color and everything with it great. She always has a smile. I don't know about the headband on Stephany not great, the rest of her is OK. Alexandra don't know what to say.
María Teresa looks lovely. She's been looking very good and happy lately. Her clothes have been perfect, like this dress (new stylist?)
The others don't look so good. I don't know what that thing is on Stephanie's head but it needs to go away immediately. She looks like she has a head wound. The jacket is not attractive either. It doesn't flatter her figure. Princess Alexandra is dressed like someone twenty years older than she is. The hat is not appropriate--it looks more suitable for a day at the beach. But there is María Teresa like a feast for the eyes. Beautiful dress and hat and a lovely smile.
Totally agree. My goodness that headband is just atrocious.
Maria Teresas look is so WOW...⚘
Is it possible that MT is wearing a Varela? The tailoring, fabric, and bracelet length sleeves....She looks great.
oh no Stephanie!
OMG Stephanie looks...I'm not gonna say what she looks like. But I just don't understand how she could wear that handband or the rest of her outfit. Doesn't she have any taste? She really needs a good stylist. Especially because her mother in law is always so stylish...she could learn from Maria Teresa.
Two women are wearing headpieces, one looks terrific and one looks terrible. This shows fashion is not that easy. It is not enough to order something online and plant it on your head. You got to know what you are doing.
I just don't understand this family. With the exception of MT, they all look so unstylish and frumpy. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Luxembourg is one of the richest royal families. So they have more than enough money to hire a proper stylist. They don't have to be a clothes horse, but at least put a bit more effort into looking good for the country that you're representing.
Very wonderful royal family of Luxembourg.
Royalty fan 7 May 2018
But where are Felix and Claire, I want so much to see their two children, also. And stil no pregnancy announcement from Stephanie?

3963fbce-edf4-51d7-aa6c-8d7321f28605_1 | Mathilde looks lovely here. I like the dress - the colours are pretty,and it looks cool, crisp and fresh for Oman's warm climate; Mathilde's minimal hat and clutch are perfect in this regard as well. I'm also liking the rich colours and fabrics of the Omani mens and womens robes.
I wonder if there will be some sort of a State dinner for this visit.
- Anon 9:13
Thank you for adding photo's with the Sultana of Oman (or Princess ?) don't know how we should call her. Both dresses are beautiful the green reminds us of emerald gems. The burgundy and read dress looks like the colour of rubys.
Anonymous 2/2/22 20:53 must not be afraid Queen Mathilde is insulting the Sultana now that she is wearing a very western dress !!!
What an ugly dress! It does nothing for her.

La Princesse Mathilde est charmante dans cet ensemble rose poudré, la jupe a une très jolie coupe, mais la ceinture n'est pas indispensable.
MARIMAR
This dress has the signature Natan giant belt and buckle, a horrible mistake for Mathilde. Being short waisted, the belt and buckle are sitting right under her breasts. I like the wrap effect of the bodice. It is more elegant than buttons. Natan has a love of stiff fabrics, and taffeta is stiff. Maybe it is tissue taffeta, which isn't too bad. I don't like seeing Mathilde's skirts standing out, which emphasizes her hips. Softer fabrics are better on her. The hi-low hem isn't necessary. ~d
Queen Mathilde looks good but she can do better . I like the color and print of her dress . The Sultanah of Oman looks fabulous .
The Queen looks beautiful, I love her choice of accessories. I do feel the dress is a problem with either the cut of the dress or fit. The fabric does not seem to be very pliable.
An outfit with so much potential which falls sadly short. I like the 50s vibe with the wide skirt, short sleeves and the neat hat, gloves and clutch. The bodice of the dress is badly fitted and the huge belt buckle and dangling end just spoil the whole look. If it was a plain top with a neat belt and the pattern only on the hem, how much better this would look! | {

3963fbce-edf4-51d7-aa6c-8d7321f28605_2 | Yikes!!! Natan strikes again! That belt is...awful. The dress is sadly ill-fitted to Mathilde and is not doing her any favors. There is a lot about this dress that would work if there was less of it. I do like the pattern on the skirt. Somehow Mathilde still manages to look lovely and her accessories are wonderful.
The lady Sultana of Oman looks beautiful, poised and elegant in her traditional garb. The emerald green veil under the deep green caftán looks wonderful and the peek of purple colour provides an exquisite touch.
I like the idea of this dress, it is just executed so poorly. The shirtdress in theory is so classic and classy, but this is a disaster. Doesn't fit correctly at all. Plus, that belt needs to go in the dumpster. I'm also not a fan of the color of the accessories.
Chel
Lovely outfit!!
The Queen looks lovely, however, the dark color of the hat, does not go well with the light colors in the dress, even though it matches the bag and shoed. Another lighter color would have been more enhancing.

ed7e577c-5af0-52a9-bc78-18ca0dffb9b2_2 | We watched a hatmaker in Paris in a tiny shop. Not monstrous hats like these, but daintier ones with beautiful feathers. She made beautiful art. Of course these 1920’s hats served functional purposes to protect from elements, but they are charming nonetheless.
So charming! That would be fun! So the Paris hatmaker made more like “jewelry” for the head, huh?
Exactly. I SO wanted to bring one home but my ‘seasoned traveler’ side reminded me how carried away I can get buying cultural fashions that I never wear once I’m back in Colorado-casual land!!
An expert better than I will have to be consulted. All I can say is, it should be from the 20’s since it still has a crank.
Ah see, I didn’t know that about a crank. (Note to self–look up cranks!) Thank you so much!
Good luck! | {

f31fe1b9-96a1-512a-8cd6-4ef91eb49f72_1 | More royal hats. I don’t tend to give much attention to hats, because they always (lie, 90% should do) look hideous, most royals who use hats, like to use diferent, unusual and unique hats, but for me 90% is disaster. Well, I think it’s because of my taste, I tend to love hats that are traditional, so most of the non-tradional hats are absolutely horrendous to me. So this time as well, I can’t even mention how awful the hats of all the women in this grand Ducal family were.
I agree. Very few Royal women wear hats successfully. Maxima, Mary and Kate are exceptions.
I think Queen Maria Theresa looks just beautiful in her bright pink flower hat and her dress and jacket are just beautiful. I don’t much care for those butterfly wings her daughter plonked on her head but I reckon it’s not the ugliest hat we seen today so that’s allright. LOL!
love Tessy’s purple hat. so light and beautiful.
I agree about M-T’s outfit. The color is too bold for a mother of the groom dress, and the overall shine and matching thing with the hat, dress and shoes is just too much. I thought Claire’s mother looked perfect. She was elegant and stylish but her outfit didn’t scream “look at me.”
I agree that she doesn’t fit in with the other colors at this wedding. But the lace work on her jacket is gorgeous and I think her hat is spunky and cute.
Sigh…ok here is my opinion. Grand Duchess Maria Teresa looks lovely except for the shiny material, but the cut and detail of her dress and hat are beautiful. Hereditary Grand Duchess Stephanie looks like she stuck a square of cloth on her head and secured it with two chopsticks. Princess Tessy has a giant butterfly on her head (it needs to fly away). The hatless Princess Alexandra was very lovely. However my vote goes to the non-royal hat of the mother of the bride. Gabriele Lademacher was quite elegant. I love her hat. I was not overwhelmed with any of the choices.
I am afraid that none of these hats really appeal to me. I suppose the white straw hat that the mother-of-the-bride wore is my pick of this lot. | {

a8189363-c6be-5dfa-a206-6124ba6597bf_0 | Few collections will evoke a stronger sense of wanderlust this season than Jacquemus. Last night, Simon Porte Jacquemus took over the Musée Picasso with 48 looks inspired by his “shy, sexy” mother and his childhood memories of her on the beach in the South of France. Everything about it felt warm and glow-y: the models’ flushed skin, the barely-there dresses, the sandy palette, the sarongs, and, of course, the sun hats. You can’t go to la plage without a wide-brim straw hat, can you? And Jacquemus blew them up into surreal, super-sized proportions; they were so big that you wondered how they didn’t topple off the models’ heads. One of those hats would certainly protect your face (and shoulders) from UV rays, and a giant sun hat generally works as a great disguise, especially if you’re a Jacquemus-loving It girl being trailed by paparazzi. Kendall Jenner wore his flat-brimmed hat in Cannes earlier this year, but it didn’t exactly deter the cameras—in fact, it did more to highlight her million-dollar visage than to hide it.
Similarly, Jacquemus’s hats for Spring ’18 actually curved away from the face, so flying under the radar might not be the point. Quite the opposite, really. We saw similarly huge, attention-grabbing hats in Milan at Missoni and in New York at Vaquera; they were more like frames for your face than incognito shields. It’s a curious paradox adjacent to this summer’s It-girls-in-tiny-sunglasses trend: Like enormous, face-obscuring sunnies, which have been replaced by look-at-me mini lenses, giant hats were once used for camouflage, for blending in, and for trying to disappear. In 2017, perhaps that just isn’t realistic—especially if you have 80 million Instagram followers and taking selfies is practically in your job description. Why bother trying (and probably failing) to go unnoticed when a supersize hat can put the power back in your hands? It’s so unmistakable that it almost makes a joke of the whole thing. Want to take my photo? Here I am! Celebrities aren’t even trying to hide from the paps anymore. If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. | {

Her Majesty has worn a surprising number of turquoise hats over the past six years and this group includes the greatest diversity of shape we have seen so far. Here are these hats, in the order they were introduced into service:

Introduced: July 24, 2017; August 26, 2018
I usually love the Queen in blue but turquoise? Not so much. Many shades here are so vibrant that they cast a harsh, almost neon glow onto her Majesty which is less than flattering. Quibbles about colour aside, the shapes here are so interesting. The indented crowns(#5 and #12), marshmallow bubbles (#1), unusually tall stovepipes (#6) and exaggerated angles (#3 and #9) show just how adventurous Queen Elizabeth is when it comes to trying new hat shapes. That alone is something to be greatly admired.
What do you think about the Queen’s turquoise hats?

7c34b1e7-c4e1-5397-a640-577e21ada63f_0 | Glorious sunshine for the second day of the Boodles May Festival at Chester racecourse meant the brollies could stay at home and instead racegoers were free to show off their best head-turning hats.
With no danger of strong winds which last year left ladies struggling to hang on to their headwear in between downpours, it was an opportunity not to be missed to pop on sunglasses and take a chance on a wide-brimmed show-stopper or an elegant fascinator.
Along with the array of fabulous fashions, there were plenty of great hats on display around Chester racecourse for Boodles Ladies Day, and several racegoers had clearly opted for the ‘bigger is better’ motto!
Here are seven winners which caught our photographer’s eye ...
You know what we said about bigger being better? It really is!
Planned ahead and nailed the monochrome pairing ...
Stop to admire the lady in red
When black is the new black
Florals don't have to just be for frocks
A perfect match of sunnies and fascinator? We'll drink to that ... | {

9dd56d39-2d21-52b8-a03e-1a4404256924_0 | Queen Beatrix is one of the most prolific hat wearers in the royal world today. With the announcement this week of her upcoming abdication and the celebration of her 75th birthday today, I thought we should look back at the many hats she has worn during her public life. There are so many to share (more than 300 at my last count) that I’m breaking this retrospective into three posts. Today, we’ll look at all the hats worn while she was princess, as well as the first decade of her tenure as Queen. The second and third post will look at the hats worn during the final 23 years of her reign.
Before becoming queen, Princess Beatrix’s hats reflected the fashion of the times. During the 1960 and early 1970s, there were lots of pillboxes but as the 1970s passed, brims became bigger.
#1-2 More interested in toys than hats 1939 & 1940
#3 Visiting the United States in September 1959

#12-15 Public engagements in early 1970, mid 1970, 1971 and 1972
#16-18 much larger brims for public engagements in 1976
#19-21 Public engagements in 1977, 1978, and 1979
#22-24 Engagements in 1979
#25 Visiting Spain in 1980 just before ascending the throne
After Beatrix became Queen in 1980, there was a flurry of engagements (as to be expected for a new Queen) and with them, came a lot of flowered hats.
#26-31 Public engagements in 1980, the first year of her reign
As the decade progressed, Beatrix’s hats grew a little larger and more colourful (as did everything else during the 1980s!).
