Fancy Hats

Queen Elizabeth’s Signature Hats

Since her ascension to the throne at age 25, Queen Elizabeth II has worn over 5,000 different kinds of headwear — floral caps, turbans, cloches, fur Cossack hats — until she finally found her signature hat, variations of which she’s been wearing for the past few years. They tend to have an asymmetrical top, short brim, and a jaunty flourish, like lace, feathers, or a giant flower. Also, as she’s the queen: The hats always match her outfits perfectly.
