Queen Elizabeth spent February 6, 1954, the third anniversary of her ascension, in Sydney. For visits to Bondi Beach and Randwick Racecourse, she wore a pale wheat coloured silk dress with ruffled collar topped with a curved calot hat covered in feathers of the same hue.

Royal Hats 
The color looks more like a lovely pale yellow, rather than wheat–at least, on my laptop.
The color of wheat doesn’t excite me, but I love the overlapping feathers on the hat! It shows movement like a gentle breeze!
So true about the movement! It’s such a pretty ensemble, even though the color is bland.
It must have been a fun break for HM to see the races.
