Hats in the Royal Wedding

Jess Collett is a milliner in London, who is probably making headlines this week for the wedding hat that she is not creating -- that of Carole Middleton who changed her wedding outfit at the last minute, making a coordinating hat unnecessary.

The young talented designer is making hats for quite a few of the other guests however. She is in a unique position, being privileged to what the guests will be wearing. The invitation forbids decorations, such as flowers or feathers, since the hats will be worn in church. Consequently most of the pieces Jess Collett will be making are bigger hats.

Although, we don't have any images of the hats that Jess is creating for the big event, below are some images of her recent creations, in collaboration with Ercole Moroni, a florist / designer. These fabulous pieces are made of wood, perspex, and silk flowers.

EEEEEKKKKK! Even worse than that pink monstrosity worn by Princess Beatrice. It must have added another foot at least. The hat frankly would have looked great with an ornate, heavily powdered wig like Marie Antonette's hair creations.

She must have designed that monstrosity Princess Beatrice is wearing.

Do not be surprised, folks, if Lady Gaga turns up in some of these hats!

Just because something is stuck on a head doesn't make it a hat.
