Apparently, since it’s Independence Day Weekend here in Amurrica, the only things that are happening are located overseas, where people are continuing to carry on with their daily lives while over here we’re drinking beer or lemonade and playing bags across the fruited plains and purple mountain’s majesty. While our celebrities are taking their annual plastic surgery related summer breaks and no news is happening, anywhere (or everyone who is supposed to report on it is on vacation), Europe is taking this opportunity to go completely bananas with outrageous hats worn to formal events, as only Europe can.
Princess Beatrice’s treasure of a Rorschach test hat has unleashed the floodgates, and the attendees at this weekend’s royal wedding in Monaco didn’t disappoint.
Sophie Countess of Wessex forgot that she was supposed to wear a hat and was running late to the ceremony, so on her way she smashed a pigeon with a sledge hammer and bobby pinned it to her head. Rumor has it that Tyra Banks will use this idea as a challenge in the next season of America’s Next Top Model- make a hat out of a dead bird. Sophie of Wessex did it.
Khadja Nin’s hat doubles as a birdbath. A wicker birdbath.
