The Royal Wedding: Hats All, Folks!

Princess Beatrice Royal Wedding Atrocity I mean Hat

Princess Beatrice's Royal Wedding Atrocity I mean Hat

Salutations and greetings to the internet’s newest phenomenon: the royal wedding hat of Princess Beatrice. The world of amateur photoshoppers have hailed it as “the new cat” and, indeed, must be just about as irritating to try to see through (I pity the poor guests who had to sit behind this and look through the fallopian loops.

From the Toronto Star:

Beatrice is wearing what appears to be a mushroom-coloured silk doorknocker surrounded by an octopus in strangely Fallopian death throes. It might just as easily be an ancient birth control device known as a Dutch cap — they were still making them that beige colour in the mid-1970s — or a still-rolled condom combined with a snake metaphor, stuck for reasons best known to Beatrice on the top half of her face rather than her actual head.

But judge for yourself.

    Although this hat is definitely bizarre, somewhere out there is the manufacturer and designer of this hat. It did not emerge, fully formed on Beatrice’s head this morning.

    At least she didn’t wear the Lady Gaga purple sparkley lobster hat (which, again, was not actually made by Lady Gaga).

    It is Phillip Treacy who should be brought to task about this hat.

    Beatrice is old enough to take responsibility for her fashion choices. This? Was it comedy or tragedy?

    According to the commentariat, it’s comedy:

    Like a cushioned toilet seat with a big ribbon. and, as i said elsewhere, Posh’s looked like she’d done a head-plant on a Maynard’s Wine Gum and forgotten to pull off the loose twigs. Having said that, sans twigs, it would have been nice. And I happen to like Maynard’s Wine Gums.

    It looked as if she was wearing a small sea animal on her head. NOT a fan of this hat.

    Lol, I thought off that too, especially when her and her sister are together, they really look like the step sisters. Oh, I think the hat was inspired by one of Gaga’s hats, If I’m not mistaken, Gaga’s hat was a scorpian.
