In 1993, Queen Elizabeth wore this turquoise hat with swirled brim on visits to Hungary and Scotland as well as Trooping the Colour.

From memory at the time this hat is modelled on a traditional Hungarian hat shape; it’s certainly quite a show stopper!
HM held on to this hat and coat for another outing in Scotland 2 years later. The dress is slightly more visible this time.

Thanks so much for posting this picture – it’s such a beautiful outfit. Lovely to see her wearing heels as well.
Catherine D, I agree with everything you say! Here’s a different hat with the same coat the following year in 1994.

Yes, this is a lovely if slightly unusual hat for Queen Elizabeth. The colour is gorgeous and the coat, dress and accessories make the overall look very chic.
I do like this hat, the colour is lovely and once again the coat tailoring is beautiful – particularly the border around the hem and front. I so often wish we saw more than a peek of the dress underneath.
