This is AMAZING. I can't QUITE tell what's happening inside the little gazebo on her head, but I think a little band is playing? Ascot is the best. (Also: How has Sarah Jessica Parker never come to this event? SHE IS OBSESSED with hats!)

This woman reminds me of Lynda Carter, and also I LOVE the hat genre I call Just A Giant Flower On Your Head.
