Royals Don Daring Headgear for Kate and Wills' Wedding Bliss

By Simone Hilliard

Of course Catherine, the new Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, looked simply dashing this morning at her much anticipated nuptials to Prince William of Wales or as the Queen appointed him,  the Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus.

The Duchess wore a refined, yet youthful Alexander McQueen long-sleeved, sweetheart-neckline gown with lace overlay, complete with a nine foot train and veil, designed by Sarah Burton.

While the bride was a vision in white, the real stars of the show, after the newlyweds that is, were the collection of hats atop the heads of the women at the 2,000 attendee celebration. We've got a round up of some of the hits...and misses.

From Left to Right/ Top  to Bottom:

1) Victoria Beckham went simpler than we would have expected in a navy cap. We're guessing she toned down her vibrant A-list style for the royals.

2) Princess Letizia nailed the mark with a simple peach number and veil.

3 /4 ) Both Charlene Wittstock, the fiancee of Prince Albert II of Monaco and Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden looked lovely in wide brim hats, although we do favor Charlene's choice.

5) Britain's Queen Elizabeth wore a wonderful yellow top hat adorned with a flower. Who would dare insult the Queen Mum, though?

6) So, we'll take it out on her daughter! Anne, the Princess Royal's purple cap would have been better suited without the floral garb.

7/8) Queen Margrethe of Denmark and Queen Sofia of Spain definitely disappointed. Their choice in head wear didn't reflect their royal bank accounts.

9) Carole Middleton looked magnificent...for a commoner. Their words, not ours.

10) Princess Beatrice's hat is probably the most famous of them all! A facebook page has since been erected in its honor with over 34,000 likes. In fact, Princess B is so well known for her hat misses, there's even a Tumblr following her fashion faux pas. This deserves a close-up!

11) Princess Eugenie, though not as bad as her sister, was definitely a fashion disaster with her pointed mad hatter complete with feathers or fur...we're not sure

12) Finally, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, looked decent, we have to say. But when a nation of people despise you for engaging in adultery with the beloved Princess Diana's former husband, you kind of have to look good at all the big events, no?
