Royal Hat Retrospective

The Royal Wedding wasn’t just about the D&D of Cambridge. It was about hats, hats and more hats.

If I was Camilla Parker-Bowles, I would definitely stash a granola bar or two up in that brim. Weddings can go on a looong time.

Is the hat holding down her hair or is the hair holding up her hat? Some things we’ll never know.

That thing on Princess Beatrice’s head looks like a screaming emoticon with tears streaming down its face. Which, coincidentally, was the same face I was making while looking at it. :-0

When the Cabbage Patch doll emerges from the hat on the left it can climb into the banana boat hat on the right and sail away to safety.

I’m glad to see someone has found a purpose for recycling old woks. Environment first.

If Judy Jetson grew up to be a hat designer, this would be her catalog.

This hat may be proof that aliens do exist, their spaceships are very tiny and the government is covering up their existence by making their UFO’s into hats.

If the neck ruff gets any higher or that hat gets any lower she’s going to need some X-ray glasses.

I think she took a wrong turn en route to the Kentucky Derby. Hang a left at New York. LEFT!

Mother of the Bride wins on her width. Father of the Bride on his heigth. Yay for hat wars!

Hmmm, I actually kind of approve of the well matched outfits. No playful banter here!

Is it just me or if you stare very hard at the left hat and squint, do you kind of see an evil parrot?

I can never figure out to do with my walnut shells after I am done. Thanks for the idea!

When I look at this hat, I want a donut.

Craft tips: If you’ve forgotten a hat on the day of the big wedding, cut some tulle off the bottom of your slip and bobby pin it into a fashionable shape. Ta-Da!

The sea turtle she stole that shell from is very sad.

I think she may be wearing a Venus Fly Trap and he’s saying “Feed me Seymore!”

How is that staying on? Did Posh hot glue it to her forehead?!

So the Queen and the Mad Hatter were both invited to a clothing swap…….

The British do several things better than I can. These include (but are not limited to): making tea, playing soccer, waving, saying “holiday,” and wearing big ol’ crazy hats. Since I stayed up through the night to watch the actual Royal Wedding live (uh, it’s job related?), I had thought my sleep deprivation was instigating my hat giggling. Nope, turns out they really are that entertaining after a solid night of slumber too. Let’s head to the slide show for a full breakdown.

THE Wedding Dress

The most talked about wedding dress ever is finally revealed.

Happy Princess Day! There’s a lot of royal wedding naysayers out there, but I am always down for a good celebration and this one had fancy hats to boot. After months of fashion speculation Kate Middleton’s dress was finally revealed this morning and it was stunning. The designer was the appropriately chosen Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. A McQueen to dress a future queen. I like the symmetry.

People magazine says, "The dress was made by hand, using French Chantilly lace and English Cluny lace throughout the bodice, skirt and underskirt. The skirt, made of ivory and white satin gazar, was designed to emulate an opening flower: padded at the hips, it flowed out to the floor. The back of the dress was finished with 58 gazar and organza covered buttons fastened by Rouleau loops.”

She looks modern and iconic all at once, and gets 3 snaps in a Z formation. Congratulations to the new Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
