And, oh me oh my, I was not disappointed. The guests brought out their headtopping best and craziest for the event. I've said it before and I'll say it again, we really need to bring back wearing hats to American weddings. It would be SO fun. Also, who is this Philip Treacy character? Because almost everyone wore hats by him. I want one!
And without further ado, I give you the Royal Wedding's most fascinating fascinators, with some EWP grades.
Zara Phillips, William's cousin, is the next royal to be getting married. She was a vision in a black hat by Philip Treacy. A
I have no idea who these women are, but apparently they're sisters. And they go all out when it comes to hats (and nose jobs. Seriously, I can't take my eyes off the blue woman's nose. Palmer-Tomkinson is the nosey one in blue, topping her Deborah Milner off-the-shoulder dress and matching Nicholas Kirkwood shoes with a rosette-topped fascinator by Philip Treacy, while her sister matches her multi-color Stephen Jones fascinator to her purple sheath dress and fur stole. And seriously, that Palmer-Tomkinson character brought it. There was no forgetting that crazy blue boat. B- for the purple, A- for the blue
Prince William's cousins – Amelia, Eliza and Kitty Spencer. These were my second favorite hats of the night. Seriously, these fascinators are to die for. I want them all! A+
Lady Frederick Windsor, born Sophie Winkleman, the daughter-in-law of the Duke and Duchess of Kent. This structural masterpiece has me swooning. A
Sophie Countess of Wessex, Prince Edward's wife, stayed neutral in a beige Bruce Oldfield dress and coat with a rosette spray from Jane Taylor perched on the side of her blonde hair. A-
Sally Bercow, the wife of the House of Commons Speaker John Bercow. This lady is very unfortunate looking, with her bad eyeshadow choice and washed out lip. And her dull hair does nothing for this funny little fascinator. C
Queen Sofia of Spain. B
Queen Margrethe II of Denmark. This lady looks like so much fun, doesn't she? Look at that grin! B-
Grandmother to the groom, Queen Elizabeth II in a design by her personal assistant Angela Kelly. One does not grade the Queen, lest she yell to off my head.
Princess Victoria donned a sweet peach straw hat. She looks absolutely lovely and understated. I, however, would want people to remember that I was the last royal wedding and that I looked darn good at it too and probably would've worn the most ridiculous fascinator I could find. This is why I'm not the Princess of Sweden. C
Princess Michael of Kent. I'm seriously digging the swath of teal fabric on the big white hat. B+
Princess Mathilde of Belgium in a Philip Treacy hat. C-
Princess Anne. Love this very homely woman. I thank her for breaking out a print and a fun color. B+
Miriam Gonzalez, wife of the Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg. The Spanish beauty definitely had a feel of her home country in this headpiece, but it was just a little too Carmen Miranda for me. C
Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece. The fixture on international best-dressed lists wore a pewter Philip Treacy hat with sprays of roses. A
Lorna Brooking. I have no idea who she is but she gets points for bright purple. B-
Justine Thornton. Also don't know who this woman is, but the hat is so sweet and soft looking. B+
Frances Osborne, the wife of the Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne. D
Duchess of Kent - The wife of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, accents her Catherine Walker pink dress with a feather-bedecked fascinator from Philip Treacy. C-
Claudia Bradby - wife of some random journalist. B-
Prince Harry's date, pig-faced Chelsy Davy, donned beige netting-topped fascinator that I would actually love to wear in real life. A-
Mother of the bride Carole Middleton donned a sky blue hat byBerkshire based milliner Jane Corbett. It was just so lovely. A-
Royal stepmother to the Prince, Camilla Duchess of Cornwall also in a Philip Treacy hat. B
The Beckhams both donned Philip Treacy headgear. Love Posh Spice for wearing not only 9 inch heels while preggers but also that crazy hat. Heart. A
Sisters and cousins to the groom, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie of Kent wore hands down my favest hats of the wedding, both by Philip Treacy. I mean, look at Beatrice's, it's a ribboned toilet seat!!! I love these girls. I would love to go party with them. And by I, I mean 24 year old EWP. Twenty-nine-year-old-with-a-baby EWP is tired just thinking about partying with these two. A++
What did you think? Who was your favorite? Least favorite? Wish you could wear fascinators to weddings too?
