## Coco Rocha

I believe the technical term for this is "BAM!"

## Geri Halliwell

Geri Halliwell is the prettiest girl in fourth grade. Also, as we said many times during the Royal Wedding: A HEADBAND IS NOT A HAT.

## Brynne Edelsten

You see, when a Michael's Crafts and a Joann's Fabrics love each other very very much, sometimes they go to wine country together and then when they get back, nine months later, they have a Brynne Edelsten.

## Dita Von Teese

Let's cleanse your palate with Dita, whose hat is truly spectacular and fabulous.

It's the experience of arriving at a five star Hawaiian resort, but on her head. And that is a huge compliment. I wish I *lived* at a five star Hawaiian resort.

## Bec Hewitt; Lleyton Hewitt

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/186900653.xml)

I don't know much about Hewitt, really, beyond the fact that he's a decent tennis player. However, a quick Google informs me that he and his wife here got married after only dating six weeks, he seems to have a habit of mouthing off and saying potentially offensive things, and -- this was like the first thing on Google's "Lleyton Hewitt" suggestions -- he's sporting an enormous package. I feel like I didn't need to know ANY OF THAT. Additionally, she could have done so much more, hat-wise, to work in congress with that dress.

## Rebecca Judd

This pose is sincerely Try Hard, but I stand by thinking the idea of this dress is pretty groovy.

## Emma Freedman

Emma is a weather reporter and looking at her, I'd expect it to be quite chilly. Until I get to her feet.

## Allen Leech

Branson!

## Kate Upton

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/spl644461_001.xml)

Kate could probably use a bracelet, no? This thing feels like it's missing something (although she herself looks quite pretty).

## Danielle Spencer

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/186898399.xml)

The colors of this dress remind me of [Sandra Bullock's fabulous Venice dress](https://gofugyourself.com/well-played-sandra-bullock-5-08-2013/photocall-for-gravity-attended-by-george-clooney-and-sandra-bullock-for-the-70th-venice-international-film-festival?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), but whether it's a knock-off or it's simply been ham-handedly deployed, this falls far short of Sandy. Yes, it's hard to live up to being accessorized by Clooney, but in what universe does that hat work with that dress?

## Laura Dundovic

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/186892489_10.xml)

Laura is a former Miss Australia, a model, the host of *Dating the Dark: Australia*, and the Australian face of double-sided boob tape and THAT IS NOT A JOKE. Wisely, she chose a dress that required it -- and actually, although I believe she may also be wearing a crown of tape on her head, she looks really very pretty.

## Jennifer Hawkins

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/186893622_10.xml)

That hat is like what old timey nurses in hell would wear at a hospital I think of as Blood General.

## Lauren Phillips

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/186893793_10.xml)

This dress is actually very cute, but I feel like her hat doesn't really match -- it kind of just looks like some old ribbon fell out of the closet and got stuck in her bangs.

## Rachael Finch

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/186894255_10.xml)

Rachael is also a beauty queen who has appeared on *Celebrity MasterChef*, and Aussie *Dancing With the Stars*, where she was partnered with a man she has since married. She's pretty sure she's at a golf event.

And now, the random ladies in AMAZING HEADWEAR. Prepare to enjoy the women who really brought it. This is amazing.

A TURBAN! (Bonus points for finding the perfect orange lip for her skin tone; I want that lipstick so bad.)

HATS! These are tremendous. These are what we need to see at all Royal Weddings henceforth. I decree it!

And, finally, these spectacular broads (one of whose head you've already seen), all of whom I want to have some champagne with.
