Eugenie and Beatrice, Princesses of York
There's not enough OMG in the world.
OK, Eugenie's hat is...weird, but at least it fall somewhere within the bounds of British hat tradition. Beatrice's hat, on the other hand...We can't stop talking about Beatrice's hat, which is awful, not to mention at least 82 times crazier than even Aretha Franklin's bow hat from Obama's inauguration.
What is this hat?
Why is this hat?
Can this Facebook page devoted the Philip Treacy beige oval-and-ribbons monstrosity confine the enusing meme, which already threathens to engulf the whole Internet?!
Victoria Beckham
How is Posh keeping this Philip Treacy pillbox perched so perfectly on her forehead? And is the decoration a combination of twisted pipe cleaners and a matching Christmas gift bow?
Sophie Winkleman, Lady Frederick Windsor
In case you don't know her, this Lady has been a British TV star since 2002, but now we're wondering where she's been all our lives? We love this chic Philip Treacy creation, which appears to be an amalgam of Dior's New Look and Atomic Age architecture.
Zara Phillips
Prince William's first cousin (by way of Charles' little sister Anne) is wearing a Phillip Treacy hat and a Paul Costelloe suit that has a touch more of the Romulan uniform look to it than we'd like to see at a wedding, but hey, steel gray is always sophisticated. Right?
Sophie, Countess of Wessex and Anne, Princess Royal
Two of Prince William's aunts went with modest spring pastels adorned by flowers, feathers and just a bit of lace trim.
Tara Palmer-Tomkinson and Santa Palmer-Tomkinson Montefiore
The gal in blue is a famous British TV personality, and the woman in the purple is noted British author (first name: Santa!), and these two sisters are obviously lovely gals, but...some might say they look like space hookers.
Katharine, Duchess of Kent
The 78-year-old duchess and first cousin to the queen attended the wedding in a youthful combination of Easter-egg pink and marshmallow-fluff white.
Justine Thornton and Ed Miliband
Britain's Labour leader attended the nuptials along with his lawyer barrister wife, who wore a navy hat with a tier of sheer layers.
Bryony Daniels
Herself a hat designer, this society stylist and friend of the prince's topped off her outfit with a relatively understated black number.
Miriam González Durántez and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg
British fashion pundits are crediting Mrs. Deputy Prime Minister's Spanish heritage for her particularly striking headgear, which appears to be a black turban topped by a giant orange peony.
Queen Margrethe II of Denmark
And now, on to the queens...
Just a little blue whirligig here, and a turquoise loop-the-loop here, and Queen Margrethe is good to go. Adorable.
British Subjects Also Participated in the Great Hat Pageant of 2011
We just told you we were moving on to the queens.
What?!
Carole Middleton, Elizabeth Windsor-Mountbatten and Camilla Parker-Bowles
Hatz! Yep, they're just three sweet old English ladies going to a family wedding. Camilla chose a design by upper-crust milliner of choice Philip Treacy.
Queen Elizabeth II
And lest we forget the original crazy royal hat, there's still nothing like the queen's official ceremonial headgear.
