'Princess Beatrice's Hat' currently has almost 5000 nods of approval on the social networking site, which pays mock homage to the the nude, cameo creation with face framing bows that the Princess chose to wear to the wedding of the year. Members have been particularly imaginative in uploading pictures of possible sources of inspiration for the hat's designer, Phillip Treacy.
The milliner to the rich and famous defended his design, believing it to be an appropriately modern interpretation of wedding attire for a young Princess. "My inspiration was beauty and elegance- it’s a 21st century wedding. I've known them for a long time and I wanted them to look gorgeous and beautiful. I thought they looked gorgeous and beautiful. But no one is crying if anyone didn’t," said Treacy.
Unfortunately for Princess Beatrice, most didn't.
But should she need some reassurance, it could have been worse. Millinery is notoriously hit and miss, and even the leading designers have their off days- so we have chosen a selection of even worse designs to cheer up our aspiring fashionista. Perhaps by the time 'the other Kate' ties the knot, Beatrice will have sorted out her fashion faux-pas.
