Royal Hats 
Love the pairing of this hat with the emerald outfit! I don’t care for the really tall crown on this hat (makes it looks slightly cowboyish when viewed from the front), but overall an excellently simple and chic choice.
Stunning hat and I love her gloves (thanks to the link for the full view) – I wish the current bunch of royal ladies still wore gloves like this. I love the shape of the hat and it looks exceedingly stylish. I’d wear it today if I had it.
Stunning! This style isn’t so far removed from Max’s slice hats, is it?
Outstanding.
I have been away, doing missionary work in the darkest corner of Ohio, Put-In-Bay, in Lake Erie, in the middle of their annual “Christmas in July” celebrations. Unfortunately, all attempts at teaching sobriety and abstinence went unheeded, Maybe my lessons will reach a more receptive congregation next week, as I battle the evil demons in Florida. Nonie, you are correct about the color scheme. There are several excellent Pinterest pictures, which I assume are verboten here. Here is a link from Royal Forums, though.

Thanks for not posting pinterest photos. Here’s a link to a full length photo of the green dress and cream hat.
The photo of Princess Grace where you can see the gown in full length is absolutely stunning.
Beautiful lady, beautiful straw, beautiful hat! I wonder who made the hat, the shape is simple yet elegant. I know Jean Barthet made a certain number of hats for her in her first years in Monaco, but she also went to other milliners. The 70´s style at its best. (Of course, it helps being Grace Kelly!)
Evil demons, Jimbo? I thought you were coming to Florida for vacation!
Doing the Lord’s work is 24/7, my friend! I will seek out every drinking establishment down there! If you can’t beat them, join them!
In that case, may the work continue!
The song “Isn’t she lovely” comes to mind when I see this photograph ! I believe the hat was white and her outfit emerald green and I remember coveting those emerald earrings and brooch !! 😉 funny how certain things stick in your memory … she was stunning wasn’t she ?
That’s a blackamoor brooch, isn’t it?
I did’t realize it but yes, it is. Thankfully, social acceptance for such things in the 1970s no longer continues today. While once an acceptable style niche of jewelry, I think we can all agree it is no longer appropriate.
I remember as a child saving up all the Robertson’s jam labels so I could send away for a “Gollywog” brooch (which I still have ! ) I’m so sorry that people are shamed for it now – when I wore it to school so proudly 😕
