Hats hats all over! yes we are talking about the The latest sensation and style statement at the royal couple kate and william’s grand royal wedding. New Yorkers have really flipped their lids over the royal wedding – they’re buying up hats for the big day.
“People got up at 4 a.m. and watch the royal wedding while they are wearing hats,” said Barbara Feinman, who owns Barbara Feinman Millinery in the East Village.
She has received “dozens” of orders for cocktail hats to be worn at viewing parties. Suzanne Couture Millinery on the upper East Side had an uptick in orders – including three hats for locals invited to Kate and Will’s nuptials.
“They came in with their outfits, and hats were custom-made for them,” said owner Suzanne Newman.”They want small, Kate-like hats. That’s the fun of the event,” said Newman. “It’s good because it’s prompted a lot of interest in hats.”
One guest opted for a classic big-brimmed hat, while another favored a whimsical topper, said Newman, who once made a hat for Princess Diana during a New York visit.
Most of her orders this week have been for young moms planning for Friday morning tea parties to chat about the pomp and pageantry.
