Diamond Jubilee Day 1 - Other Hats and Fascinators

The Queen no doubt stole the show on the first day of her Diamond Jubilee Celebrations but I can't let those other foxy ladies of the upper class go with out a mention. As with tradition you can't turn upto a horse race without wearing a fascinator or hat and the Epsom Derby delivered the goods. I'm on overload with all the stunning fascinators and hats I've seen today. I'll just pick a few otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight.

First of all I would like to thank Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie for being more low profile this time (we all know what they wore to William and Kates Royal Wedding),  as you can see from the lower right picture, The Queen's grandaughters Princess Beatrice and Princesss Eugenie are wearing lovely, "reasonably sized" hat fascinators, Beatrice with a pill box fascinator, nothing special to be honest, again, I'm just pleased that they were sensible. 

Katherine Jenkins in Royal Blue aswell! Did she know that's The Queen's colour? Anyway she showed how Royal Blue is worn by the younger generation and her oversized fascinator nest, another masterpiece millinery work. 

Princess Michael of Kent, shared the balcony at the Epsom Derby with The Queen with a disc fascinator with reversed flower corsage underneath, a classic that is hear to stay. 

The first day of the Queen's Jubilee was a fascinator fest and we at Caprilite loved it, lets see what tomorrow brings.

Harrods - Hats and Fascinators

If you're featured in Harrods then you can say you cater for the rich and high class. So who is in the Harrods hats and fascinator department? Designers such as Nerida Fraiman, Peter Bettley, and Victoria Grant. Never heard of them? Even though their prices are astronomical, they are the innovators in fascinator design and guarantee the highest quality, there's no doubting that! Simple and classy, flamboyant but elegant, it's amazing how they do it, but that's why they are the best at what they do, and thats why people are willing to pay (if you got the money, why not). However, if you can't afford to pay for the top designers or be advertisers for these designers at the Royal Ascot then there are still plenty of good quality fascinator retailers that can provide you with beautiful designs. We at Caprilite put our own fascinators for comparision and in my opinion we didn't do too badly.

Fascinators - Sarah Jessica Parker - Americans love fascinators!

We Brits love fascinators, we even have a special fascinator show-off event... the Royal Ascot Races. But fascinators aren't just a British thing, the Yanks love them as well. When Americans do things they always seem to be larger than life. Sarah Jessica Parker, fashion guru, trend setter from Sex and the City isn't shy when it comes to fascinators. Feast your eyes on her HUGE swirley net fascinator, half meter long green flower bouquet, and black thunder storm clouds (my best attempt to describe the crazy world of fascinator designs).

Fascinators Don't Have To Be BIG!

Celebrity and designer fascinators seem to have a trend of being as big and extravagant as possible some are beautiful pieces, some well... are subject to opinion. However, who says a fascinator has to be big? Our darling Cheryl Cole, one of the UK most popular celebs and fashion icons likes a small one.
