Queen Elizabeth wore a pale periwinkle ensemble for this event, one familiar from the new portrait released of her this week.

The outfit’s matching hat, impeccably covered in the same fabric, features a shallow crown and open halo brim. Both the coat and hat are trimmed with the most exquisite platinum beaded scroll braid.

The placement of the platinum trim around edge of the brim is a brilliant one, encircling Her Majesty’s face in a highlight of subtle sparkle.

Previously Worn: This hat is new

Purple and platinum, on paper, feel like obvious colour choices for today but these softer shades make this such a fresh and flattering choice for Her Majesty. What do you think of her new hat today?!

Platinum Jubilee Countdown: 1

Today, on the eve of Trooping the Colour tomorrow, we return back one year to this event in 2021, in the Quadrangle of Windsor Castle. Queen Elizabeth wore a grey hat with flared crown covered in the same silk cloque fabric as her coat. The design’s mushroom shaped straw brim is overlaid in pleated crin and the hat is finished with a grey goose feather mount and vine of gold silk flowers that wrap around the front that echo the floral applique around the neckline of her coat. Worn to Ascot, the opening of Parliament and Trooping the Colour, it felt like a fitting hat to end bridge our 70 day journey through Her Majesty’s history of hats to what she will wear for this celebration. Any predictions?!
