Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko arrived in India on Saturday for their first visit in over 50 years. Empress Michiko unveled a new hat and outfit for her arrival; the hat was one of her regular petite saucers, this time in cream, with a cream and beige hounds tooth check flat bow. Her hat coordinated perfectly with her outfit and she looked very smart.
Tomorrow we’ll look at the first two hats worn by Empress Michiko on this tour.
Royal Hats 
She looks lovely. They look so cute together, but I can’t get onboard with that style of hat. all the time.
She is a beautiful lady, and she always looks elegant in whatever she is wearing. However, I cannot warm up to this style of hat. Her hat looks nice with her outfit, but I think it blocks too much of her lovely face. I would have loved to have seen this outfit paired with a cream pillbox or calot.
Wow it is a busy morning here on the royal hats blog! there are a lot of hat’s to catch up on.
It’s interesting how some royals (like Queen Maxima and Countess Sophie) change the shape and style of their hats a lot. The Empress of Japan has the same style all the time. I really like this hat with her suit and I’m starting to really like the cape jackets she always wears.
