You may remember this racegoer from last year's slideshow of hat delights, and this does not disappoint. For one brief shining moment, I thought she was wearing Parmesan cheese crisps on her head.
If the previous slide was cheese, this one is a delicious bit of fruit-flavored chewing gum. (It's possible I am hungry.)
This is like Ascot by way of Woodstock, which is an unexpected mash-up.
I feel like, thus far, the theme of Royal Ascot 2014 has been HELLO HERE'S A GIANT FLOWER ON MY HEAD.
"I'M WEARING A POTTED PLANT ON MY SKULL." (Although I love this hat even though you know she has to tilt her head up to be able to see anything.)
I hope the whole ride over she was ALSO blasting Taylor Swift's "Red" on repeat, like, out the window.
THIS is (a) lovely and (b) a Bird of Paradise, right? Or inspired by, and (c) GONNA TAKE OUT AN EYE.
Sophie's hat today is FAR SUPERIOR to her hat of yesterday. I mean, it's nutty, but in a way I love. (I am partial to hats that have a bit of whatnot under the brim.)
In fact, although I do not know why Sophie is so into Wearing White right now, I actually think this is fabulous on her.
I hope Camilla and Sophie had a whole convo that was basically like, "on Tuesday, we wear creams."
WHAT ARE THESE GLASSES ON ANNE. She does have a tradition of wearing really horrible sunglasses, as we saw during the Olympics. It's like she buys all of her sunglasses at the AM/PM on the highway between Los Angeles and Barstow. This whole thing makes her look like she was defrosted from 1983. Maybe Anne, in addition to being a Secret Detective, is also a time-traveller. I believe one of you floated this theory yesterday and I agree.
"Do you think anyone would notice if I poured my G&T into this silver pot thingie? Oh, who cares? I'M THE QUEEN. I can drink out of whatever receptacle I like."
"I say, what IS this magical device?! Did Anne bring this one from one of her travels through space and time? WE LIVE IN THE FUTURE."
