WTF?

So wedding hats these days are passe and they're all wearing what they call "fascinators". Nothing fascinating about this monstrosity worn by Princess Beatrice to the wedding of her cousin, Peter Phillips yesterday. Dear god/dess! Pity. She's a pretty girl. The Queen and Camilla both wore feathery concoctions but were restrained. Bea wore a multi coloured dress which just seemed like a regular summer dress, topped with a short white jacket. She'd have been better off at least choosing a sleeker hair style and a sleeker dress without a jacket over it. It might have come off as more cutting edge and trendy instead of just a really bad fashion choice. Looks like she inherited her taste from her mother.

I thought Camilla's was also ungainly and made her hair look like a wig (I know what a hat on a wig looks like, as my sister has to wear a wig)- pity after the success of her own wedding hat. The Queen's was also a mistake (rare that, but perhaps she did her own thing for a "private" family occasion), as it, on the contrary, looked as if it were part of her own hair! I think the butterflies were too many, top-heavy etc, but the idea was good - the dress was also butterfly print, and I like the colours. The bridesmaids' dresses and bouquets were also lovely. But I'm afraid I think most headgear requires an up-do, and they will all (Katherine and Chelsey too) wear long unstructured styles even to such formal events. Why, when they can afford a good hairdresser? Eugenie has a nice bobbed style, and looked the best of the bunch.
Why am I royal-watching? Well at least it's an escaped from the memoirs of Cherie, John Prescott and Lord Flipping Levy, which are being discussed, sent up on comedy programmes and generally done to death here at the present!

Camilla's was ok. but her hair always looks like a helmet though yes, she did look nice on her wedding day. I think maybe the Queen decided to get in on the "fascinator" style and it doesn't suit as much. Her dress was nice though. The butterflies might have worked if her hair was swept up like the bridesmaids were. Maybe. Yes, the colours were nice but i would have liked a sheath type dress instead of what it was she had on. She's old enough to carry off the sheath i think.
