#royal #millinery #royalascot - Jak na to + styl
I really do love Beatrice's style nowadays - it's fun, quirky, but with a certain amount of polish, and she finally looks comfortable in her own skin. Even where her choices clash, I think she carries it off as a deliberately eccentric choice rather than a mistake. I love seeing people finds themselves style-wise!
I love Beatrice's fashion fearlessness!
@@joiedevivre2005 I still haven't recovered from the moose antler hat at the sussex wedding! Looked like a hat rack to me, but at least the girl is learning.
I agree, Ilona. A hat should be considered as part of the outfit, and therefore work harmoniously with all the parts thereof.
Love that Princess Anne rewears dresses! Even across multiple decades!
and I imagine that Anne wouldn't refer to it as "vintage" but just something she dug out from the back of her closet.
I really enjoy your vids.
I live in the Southern United States and because of medical issues, I have begun wearing hats and using parasols. I need hats with brims that can be worn with several different outfits so I add decorations that can be swapped out.
My husband thinks I have way more hats than I really do!
You have given me some great ideas to incorporate!
Thank you.
Your commentary was
"SPOT ON!!" I'm looking forward to your next video!
Thank you so much! 😊
i love these commentary videos. when i saw you point out a positive and negative for most ladies, i was daring you to find a negative for Catherine, lol. she seems rarely to misstep.
Wonderful commentary. Living in the USA, we don't often see hats in everyday life. I totally agree with your opinion that the hat should be more than a special occasion piece of art. Thanks for sharing your expertise on the matter.
Princess Catherine Beautiful dress and hat and Princess Beatrice Beautiful dress look good
Hi Ilona..such a lovely video i so enjoyed it!!! Your research is amazing. Thankyou. ❤❤
What an interesting look at the outfits this year… I really appreciated all the details you broke down and analyzed. I also love your voice…. Perfect for my morning coffee and scone in sunny Southern California! I adore hats and love your episodes and reflections! Thank you for all your hard work!
Love how your hat is a perfect match for your hair, means the decorations really stand out!
I love your style, fashion and commentary. I adore hats and hair accessories and wish there were more occasions to wear them.
Keep up the good work and best wishes for your business ❤❤❤
I only wear a hat to keep the sun off my face . I hate wearing hats .
I’m in the northern Midwest of the US, and if it isn’t a baseball cap or something heavy and warm for our frigid winters, hat wearing isn’t “a thing” here (outside of a very few churches). I would love to play around with incorporating hats if it were more acceptable (although I have very short hair-less than a pixie cut, so I’m not sure much of anything would look right and anchoring would definitely be an issue).
I always forget to accessorise, usually just putting on a dress and heading out. I reckon Coco's advice would do me well - I'll take that off too!
I wouldn't put it past you 🤣
Princess Catherine always looks chic.
Please present a video with all of Diana Princess of Wales hats and outfits ❤❤🎉
Loved your review! All your comments were valid and fair 😊😊😊
Hi Ilona! I love these hat review series! And this year’s Ascot is absolutely fantastic.
You look stunning on that outfit. Such a lovely headpiece!
Thank you for doing this xx
Hi Angeles! Thank you so much! I am so glad you are enjoying this series 😊
Love you comments. Always learn something.
I love your look from the neck upwards but really think the hat would look so much better with a dress in either the chocolate brown or the red. The black just jars which is a shame when everything else is so perfect, even the lippy!
Thank you Ilona. Great video! 👒👒
You always look perfect. Great style.
Fabulous, informative and well done video. Thank you.
I absolutely love that chocolate hat! And thumbs up from me for that Ascot look (although I couldn’t pull off something flow-y, as I’m quite petite so need something more fitted).
This might seem controversial, but I’d love to see you make a video like this but focusing on the men’s hats? I noticed a few “interesting” male outfits at the Ascot this year…
Keep up the good work, and take care x
I enjoyed this Ascot video. You are charming. Your hat looks like a big chocolate drop, delightful!!
Love your outfit
since you mentioned we should look at other people, not just the British Royals, maybe a video about great hat wearers in current culture? or maybe on other events/occasions to wear hats when you're not a royal?
also, thanks for the great video! love the chocolate hat you're wearing! xx
Excellent advice. Thanks!
What sort of hat would have been better for Princess Beatrice with that white dress? 🤔
Hi Violet, I would recommend trying a boater style similar to Zara's choice. Beatrice's dress is similar in shape to the one Zara wore. 👒👗
You are so great! Love your commentary and educational recommendations. You can tell this is your passion. Thanks for all the great videos!
LOVED your outfit!! Perfectly put together....
I was so hoping you’d do a Royal Ascot video! I love your commentary, all your thoughts on positives and negatives and making fantastic suggestions! I also love your tips for which hat to wear and how to wear it. So informative and entertaining! Thanks for all your hard work!!!! Can’t wait for the next one!!
Hi ilona have you thought about applying for the great British sewing bee ?
Your outfit is delightful, but for an outdoor event in the sun a brim to shade your eyes is critical.
No outfit goes well with a squint and a headache.
I liked Princess Anne's vintage ensemble.
Sophies day 3 hat was beautiful, however, to make it work, she needed a dress more elaborate in style but more plain in pattern, perhaps ivory lace, with frills, but her handbag and shoes matching in colour to her hat, or at the very least one of the other two. That would have given the amazing detailed hat the attention and profile it deserved, but the entire set, from a distance, its difficult to know where to settle the eyes to.
Llona,
The lady standing behind princess Beatriz is wearing a hat in a similar shade ,although the color of her dress differs. If I were to choose a darker hue for my own attire, would it complement this style? As an ardent follower and admirer of your channel from USA , who enjoys donning headwear all year round despite its relative unpopularity here- yet still receives compliments on them most times; albeit some might muster up enough courage to emulate. 😊
I wonder if Ann, in the darker green dress, was pairing her light hat with her priceless pearl necklace. It looks like her Mother’s pearls.
Absolutely. Anne doesn't see the point of spending time and money on fashion and it was a good way to 'recycle' a dress. I thought the cream hat looked good. P.s. I hate that word recycle when applied to fashion, it implies that if you are rich enough wearing things once is fine. It's so not.
Love your videos & advice! I have a question. What type of dress do you recommend wearing with a large sun hat? A slimmer, sheath type? Or a fit & flare or flowing dress to balance out the large hat? Thanks, in advance!
Hi Lacey, thank you for your question. The great advantage to large sun hats is that they really go with everything! I would say that as it is a casual hat, keep the rest of the outfit casual too. 😊👒
Great! Thanks!
I’ve always loved queen Camilla’s hats.
Totally off the subject of Royal Ascot: do you have a vlogging relative named Matt McKenna?
Hi, I have missed the previous videos by you due to life interfering. Congrats on all the subscribers. You really do deserve them all. I love all the hats you showed, though I think I've missed a lot of the other ones during Ascot. Ascot isn't a big thing over here at my part of the planet.
I would venture to say that hats are even more on the outs here, as the whole mother of the bride/groom is not at all a thing. Hat's are things you wear on your head, as to not get frostbite on your ears and loosing all your body heat through the top of your head (though this is a bit of a myth according to scientific research), during winter. The styling comes from the pattern you knit the hat from, and as I think I have might have alluded in past correspondence I find this state of affairs appalling, or at least a bit sad.
I'm still procrastinating over the issue of getting a hat block or a wig head like Anne (or both) and what to do about a brim block. I have scored a couple of beautiful capelins and some other goodies from Petersham, that are now sitting in boxes waiting for me to make my decision.
I'll see you in your next one, and I have yet to see the blocking and unblocking of the banana, so I might lurk around there. Yours, Ann
I dont like the colors together. The hat is too light collered for the dress. The material on the hatis light and air the material of the dress looks a lot heaver 17:26
Um...not actually an 80s style dress....no huge shoulder pads for starters 😮
No one ever has accused the York sisters of good taste. They obviously take after their mother. Seems Beatrice is improving a little since her marriage.
I hated the Green Hat which Kate wore with the Irish green dress. It was just too big and the brim could have been a bit smaller. I get the Idea of her being colonel or whatever of the Irish guard, but the hat was overwhelming, even for her height.
cow pat on your head.get out into the country side you'll see alot of cow pats in fields ,steaming hot .
Beatrice fashion faux pas? Again? or Still? LOL The girl is hopeless but entertaining.
I dislike most of these dresses. The floral 80’s dresses are so modest and dowdy in my opinion. But i may be biased as I was in my 20’s in the 80’s and that was the style blah
I'm not a fan of dangly earings.
Unfortunately the bohemian earrings worn by Catherine are a no go for me. Couldn't someone have loaned her a pair of ruby earrings? They have a jewellery vault at the palace🤦♀️
I really disagree with most of your comments, especially your hat and outfit 😞
Hat looks off with the black dress, sorry.
Beatrice needs to rethink her makeup. Her eyes always look dark and sunk in. Hair not that great either.
Disappointed more in your brown beanie ill fitting choice- rather than what others wore. Sadly some of your suggestions are not really anything other than your personal opinion. So , rating your outfit and hat it would be a fail for me when teamed with the black dress.
You know what's most disappointing? Unnecessarily rude internet commenters.
I love the announcers hat❤
@@laerwen Hi, I must say I agree. Especially when the commenter has no clue about the topic discussed. What Ilona is wearing couldn't be called a beanie even in the broadest sense. That is a pillbox, of course, with a veil and decorated with a vintage posey. Beanies are knitted or sometimes maybe crocheted and never stiffened as you and me and the rest of us here would know. Yours, Ann
Hi, I hesitate to answer you as my policy is to never acknowledge people trolling. I'm going to make an exception in your case. This channel is still not huge and your voice won't be drowned out by everyone that are here because we are interested in hats. My advice to you is that before next time you want to troll, try research the topic of the channel before you comment, or you will just look just like you do now. A bit of an eejit, as another CZcamsr I follow would call it.
What Ilona is wearing couldn't be called a beanie, even in the broadest sense. What she is wearing is clearly a pillbox. It's decorated with a veil in the same color as the straw, and a red vintage posey of what looks likely to be carnations. She even tells you this right here in the video, by the way.
Beanies are knitted, or sometimes maybe crocheted, and never stiffened. They are also made out of yarn and not straw. Yours, Ann
