A Bit of a Mystery..

Why was Princess Beatrice looking like a Cretan fertility goddess at the Royal Wedding?


Mais quel dommage!  because her really beautiful Valentino couture dress and coat were daftly eclipsed by the headpiece.  

Personally, I'd shoot a few milliners pour encourager les autres starting with the massively over-rated Philip Treacy.  This is what he did to Princess Eugenie (wearing a curious blue historicist number by Vivien Westwood)




and  to the Duchess of Cornwall.   (Where is she?) Once again, the ensemble is overwhelmed/cancelled out by the hat.  But I tell you what, she makes a fantastic Farrow & Ball paint chart.

Uh oh, socialite Tara Palmer Tomkinson also falls for a Treacy art installation.  As this is a family publication I probably won't go any further.

Call me old fashioned... or call me something worse.
