to 1928 and what might be Queen Elizabeth’s first official engagement in a hat. It’s a sweet bonnet that our favourite royal hat wearer (who celebrates her 91st birthday today) wears, beautifully. Thanks to the British Monarchy for sharing this photo today.

While the pale blue and copper feather trim on this piece is obviously meant to coordinate with the plaid in Her Majesty’s bouclé, I’ve always thought they brought little to this hat. There’s something about the lightness of these feathers that just doesn’t work here, I think

For this event, Queen Máxima repeated her brown mohair calot hat. This was the hat’s third outing and interestingly, each wearing has been paired with this pink dress (two of the three outings have also included this patterned Natan coat). Máxima often mixes and matches pieces and it’s interesting to see this particular hat worn with the same clothes each time we see it. While not my favourite combination, it makes for a serviceable working ensemble.
