Over the top at the royal wedding

[4spurs]

Saw photos on CNN of some pretty odd hats on the heads of women at Will & Kate's wedding: one woman looked like she had been hit in the head with a shoe that didn't bounce off; Victoria Beckham wore a pillbox at an angle that was so extreme it could have only remained on her head through the application of glue to her forehead.

Another woman had something on her head that resembled a turkey that had been run over on the highway and plopped down on her noggin.

Queen Elizabeth wore a yellow hat that looked fine, a style that I've grown used to on her; I call it Clint Eastwood's "Pale Rider Through the Looking Glass." [I do think she would look smashing in a Stetson Gus, 7" crown with a 4.5" brim; come to think of it, she could probably pull off a Montanna Peak too if it was pushed back far enough on her head.]

Queen Margrethe of Denmark wore a modest blue hat that if unadorned would have been tasteful, but it had two or more antennae reminiscent of the rabbit ears from my old TV sticking up in the air, no doubt her reception was superb....

Sorry if I've offended anyone's monarchical sensibilities, but some hats are just over the top.

As I watched the clips this morning, I was struck by the staggeringly ugly and ungainly hats on the women, including Her Majesty. I understand she wears them like that so she'll be unmistakably visible, but oy.
I think the real hit of the day, however, was little Grace Van Cutsem. She didn't want anything to do with the whole affair.

I saw a still photo and some video of David Beckham. He had a very nice top hat, but it was in his hands the entire time, not on his head (and I'm not talking about inside the church).

Was he afraid to mess up his hair? What gives?

I think he was just not used to wearing it and felt self conscious about it. His morning dress was very good though apart from not wearing his hat.

I was interested in the morning suits worn by most of the men. My impression was that a gray or silver tie of some sort was traditional. But shades of red were most common. And no wing collars, only turn downs.

Beckham was wearing a wing collar.

Lady Fredrick of Windsor's hat looked like the roof atop the Fashion Show Mall on Las Vegas Boulevard. I don't know how to load pic's so that they automatically appear here, but below are the links so you can see that I am not kidding.

I quite like that hat!

I think the winner for silliest hat goes to Beatrice (although I love her dress).

Okay, I couldn't help myself, but I believe that Princess Eugenie is secretly employed by NASA in their search for extraterrestrial life. Click on the link for proof:

I have to say... hat in his hands or not .... he was drop dead gorgeous and I never thought much of him before. It just goes to show that when a man dresses well it makes a big difference.

Even if he wasn't actually wearing the top hat, there's something about carrying a hat that can look very stylish. See some of the photographs of President Kennedy, for example; he carried a fedora more than he wore one, but something about that still exhibited style.

Are we really sure it all wasn't just a Monty Python 'Silly Hats' routine?

 

[Mr. Bingley]

Beatrice's hat looks like the back of a chair.

As an aside, one thing I found very amusing was during the church service when they all sang "God Save The Queen" dear Elizabeth didn't sing.

I mean, she couldn't rightly sing "God Save Me" now, could she?

Scruffy old Becks was unshaven, again!, & Posh put her unborn Baby at risk with those treacherous heels, looking as if she was attending a funeral, dressed in black with a the look of a depressed French Poodle on her face

 

[Effingham]

My God, those shoes Posh is wearing are the most ridiculous things I've ever seen...
