bell hat worn by Nicole Kidman in "desert queen"

Dear all,

My wife and I watched the movie "desert queen" quite a while ago. My wife instantly fell in love with the hat worn by Nicole Kidman, playing Gertrude Bell. Since then, we keep searching all local hat stores in Vienna but with no sucess so far.

Also, our online research failed so far. I would like to get her the very exact hat shape. If not the exact same hat, it should be at least a light summer hat. Only the exact same shape is mandatory.

I am sure some of you can offer good hints and tips, maybe even some good advise where to look.

What a coincidence! I just watched Queen of the Desert last night, and posted about it in The Moving Picture forum this morning.

But alas, I can't help with the hat...

ah, good to know. It would be my advantage if I follow up the other boards more carefully before posting.
It is said people who read do have an advantage
