Hats off to the royals! When it comes to making a statement, there’s no better accessory than a striking hat or over-the-top fascinator, and royals sure know how to pull them off. Queen Elizabeth hardly steps out without her signature feather-embellished topper while Queen Maxima continues to impress with her extravagant collection of hats. The Dutch royal has proven that bigger is better when it comes to headpieces – so much so that we even dedicated an entire gallery to her alone! Nonetheless, the Duchesses as well as other royal fashionistas have climbed to the top of the hat game and are reaching out for the accessory more and more every time. Scroll through our gallery to see some of the best over-the-top royal hats.
Queen Elizabeth
Whether they’re decked with flowers or feathers, top hats are her Majesty’s favored style. The Queen is known for her bright and colorful sartorial choices, and she hardly steps out without an eye-catching hat to match.
Meghan Markle
The Duchess of Sussex usually takes a wearable approach when it comes to royal hats by choosing basic or neutral tones.
Princess Eugenie
Princess Eugenie has made some bold hat style choices in the past, but we're highly fond of these two. Both of which involve florals and slightly inverted brims.
