The royal couple has captured the attention of millions and the bride is at the center of it all. All eyes are on Kate Middleton to see what she wears. It’s always amazing to see the rise of a fashion icon and it appears as though Kate is becoming just that. Her love of hats and fascinators has had a spectacular influence on headwear, not only it’s design but also it’s popularity. This is all the more amazing when combined with the understanding that in a break with tradition, Kate does not have a royal dresser dictating her style and outfits but has rather struck out on her own, and with fantastic results!
So complete is her love of hats, that it has been requested of all female guests at the wedding, to wear a hat.
So complete is her love of hats, that it has been requested of all female guests at the wedding, to wear a hat. This request was in a 22-page guide, delivered to all invited guests, on etiquette and dress for this royal event. Instructions for gentlemen choosing morning dress as their attire are as follows, “A grey top hat can be worn when outside, or carried under the arm when indoors. Top hats should be removed for official photographs.” Royal dresser step aside, Kate’s personal style is refreshing and trend setting!
We here at BeauChapeau are excited about this new royal era in hat wear. Whether spectacular saucers with tulles, rosettes and flowers or feathery cocktail hats and fascinators, classic pillboxes or embellished 50’s inspired shallow crown broad brims, our Kate inspired creations are royal worthy.
