Pr Beatrices Hat was ridiculous and didnt do her any justice at all. In fact her whole fashion taste is not attractive either. Similar comment re Pr Eugenie, havent actually seen any outfit that i think suits them. But who am i ?
I’m sorry but I feel the hats and dresses worn by both princesses were awful. I don’t blame them, I think they were taken advantage of and someone was having a laugh at their expense. Shame.
@@kayemcmullen Maybe "unkind" - but I remember think precisely that, when I first saw them arrive at the wedding on that day! It was like watching "Cinderella" being staged.
Interesting how the flawlessly classic look of Jacqueline Kennedy still looks perfectly fresh today, even though it is half a century older than some of the dates 2011 looks.
The deer antler hat was (imo) a rather tasteless joke meant to upstage the bride. I've always heard there is animosity from the York sisters aimed at Catherine.....whom the considered "common." Perhaps just nasty rumors, but Catherine didn't allow them to intimidate her. She has certainly proven her worth and loyalty to the monarchy, and today epitomizes every quality of a true royal .
In my country, people do not wear fancy hats. I love hats and just found your channel 2 days ago. I am enjoying it immensely. You talk slowly, explain clearly and work neatly. I checked other millinery vlogs and came to the conclusion that you are the best. Congratulations and keep us inspired!
I am absolutely loving this series. It has every fashion component, silhouette, color, body shape, balance. IIona, I have learned so much watching your videos. If I wear a hat to an event, I am re-watching your videos just to make sure I get it right. Oh, and my favorite hat /fashion ensemble was Carole Middleton. I thought her hat was gorgeous and looked so classy. And look at the flawless fit of her garment. I don't think I've ever seen such a perfect fit. And you looked so pretty in your hat. I love the style and how it hugs your head so nicely and the color is beautiful. Sorry for writing so much here. Can't wait for your next video. 👒🎩
@@ByIlonaMillinery Hi Ilona, I’ve been following you ever since I discovered your channel and I’ve enjoyed every single video no matter the topic you covered. Every time you release a new video or do a live, it’s a moment of joy to me. Thank you so much for asking me about my preferences. I would love you continued talking about styling since I have so much to learn about this particular topic; like how to match your hat accordingly with your outfit or what hat style would be the most appropriate in terms of body and face shape or type of event… if that is not asking to much! xx
I can’t get over how much fun I’m having watching your videos & learning about millinery!! You’re a fabulous designer & an inspirational narrator💐 Thank You, until I discovered your channel I wasn’t aware how interesting hats could be👒
What you said about Beatrice and the other lady (I’m terrible with names) was so interesting. That if they turned up separately the media might have been kinder to them. I think you’re right! When I saw Beatrice’s hat originally (at the time of the event) I thought it was ridiculous. But now you bring my attention to it again, and with what I referenced above, it gives it a new spin. To further add, I think if her makeup was less heavy under her eyes, the hat would have looked a lot more elegant.
I’m sorry, whilst I normally appreciate your insights, I thought the hats that both Beatrice and Eugene wore to the wedding were a complete joke. They looked ridiculous, no matter if they had turned up together or separately. Bad taste in my opinion (acknowledging that taste is very subjective).
I loved Beatrice’s hat then, and I still love it now. What is youth for, if not to express one’s self exuberantly? I think the look beams with optimistic romanticism.
You are absolutely right about Beatrice and Eugenia. I was very disappointed in their appearance, but hearing your analysis and imaging the royals arriving separately made a big difference in my response to their dress and millinary choices. Thank you!
I think you're absolutely right about the press having gone easier on Beatrice and Eugenie if they'd arrived separately. They're both quite fun looks separately. And your hat is absolutely divine in this video -très magnifique!
I’ve watched the wedding as it happened back in 2011 and I only remember two elements vividly: the upper third/fourth of Catherine’s wedding gown ( don’t care about the skirt, but I still need that delicate lace neckline and sleeves in my own wedding dress to this very day) and Beatrice, so I can absolutely agree on “memorable”. Might be a cultural difference as over here in Italy the dress code for weddings is slightly different, but wearing that here would generate a nearly-unanimous “what the f- is that”.
The colour may be perfectly matched but from the first moment I saw their hats, and particularly Beatrice's hat, I found them hideous. Sorry, for myself I wouldn't be seen dead in the hat Beatrice is wearing! 😲😲😲😲
I’m enjoying this series. I’m not so sure about your outfit with the sea foam coloured hat. I would have liked to see you in the brown pillbox (?) with bow. It certainly looks wonderful in the background display. I’m new to your channel and finding it enjoyable with just the right amount of not taking yourself too seriously while always taking the subject of hats very seriously. A good balance. I saw a photo of Lady Louise Windsor wearing a fedora at a carriage event - I thought she looked marvellous, what do you think? Thank you for an insight into wearing hats. 🇦🇺🦘
About Beatrix's hat, I think the raccoon eyes threw the look out of whack. Eugenie look was just to tight and off balance that it was uncomfortable to take in during the event.
I absolutely love hats. I’m so glad I don’t have to attend those royal gatherings, because I would not be able to keep a poker face seeing some of those hats. 🤭🤯🤭Maybe they would just think I was extremely happy…😂😂😂
I'd love a video series focusing on the hats of one person per video - what have been their best looks and why + stories/facts about the hats/designs. Perhaps the first one could focus on Catherine, Princess of Wales?
I just cannot agree with your assessment of the York girls hats. They were atrocious revenge hats to get back at their cousin for not inviting their mother.
Some of those hats you complimented were hideous. Beatrice's hat looked like a toilet seat. I guess it's like art.....beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I believe Princess Beatrice’s hat was unfairly blamed for this outfit. The color was not a good for the princess as it washed her out. Combined with the dark eye makeup and nude lip it gave her a skeletal appearance . In addition the bodice of the dress/suit (I don’t recall which it was) did not fit properly and left her looking rumpled. The hat was beautifully made and suited the dress but the dress didn’t suit the woman.
Princess B - absolutely terrifying the whole look, the heavy eye make-up didn’t help. I thought your dress would have been shorter creating the vintage look, possibly later 1940s, teamed with a hand-knitted waist length cardy and brown lace up, low heeled shoes - adore the hat. (Used to wear a felt cloche in the 1970s.) Great film thanks.
As a hat wearer even in societies where it is not usual, I am delighted with these explanations, that I take very much into account. What I like especially is Ilona's elocution: it seems to me that she would sound as nicely if she were reading the telephone directory.
I must admit I am not so keen on the hats, that are worn directly on the forehead. I found it rather silly. I love the tilted hat worn tilted to one side and "balanced" by a flower. For Chelsea Davy: Maybe she is not particularly a fan of hats. But women have to wear hats on such occasions. Therefore a moderate one is a good choice.
I am glad Ilona had done a great job of explaining the hows of the hats as well as dos and dont of it Its interesting how hats matters for the English in particular. Its really facinating how hats can enhance the beauty of the wearer if I may say. Personally I can only admire and had learn a lot Thanks to Ilona who presentered this most interestingly and so beautifully Looking forward to your next presentation😀
Such a strange thing you Brits do, claiming a woman is no longer part of the family that birthed and formed her! Absolutely ridiculous! As I'd she couldn't belong to both families at once, as does every person. But then again, you still practice that Medieval coverture rubbish.
Hi Ilona. I have just recently subscribed and today I received my first video. I am from Canada and unfortunately, wearing hats is not part of our culture. I love the late Queen Elizabeth II, and I am wondering what your opinion is on her style of hat?
I’m so glad I discovered your channel- I’ve always loved hats but here in the US there aren’t many milliners or places to learn about them. And, your hat looks divine! Trying to decide which color i should order!
Love hats and I am delighted to have found your channel ,so much interesting insight into dos and don’ts of choosing and how to wear hats. The hat you are wearing is reminiscent of late 40’s early 50’s and looks charming on you. 😊
I'm 80+ years old. I've seen thousands of hats. And I can in all honesty say, Princess Beatrice hat is undoubtedly the most gaudy, ugliest hat I've ever seen.
Such a nice flashback to 2011! I remember that Samantha Cameron, the snooty cow, didn't wear a hat at all, a totally unnecessary breach with etiquette.
I absolutely trust your words and taste my dear.... but there's nothing in this Universe that would make me think that Beatrice and Eugenie's hats are pretty. They do look like Cinderella's evil step-sisters just like the press said back then. 😂
I very much enjoy your commentary. But I find it distracting when you mention something “on her left shoulder” when it is really on the right shoulder of the person in the photograph. Looking forward to more videos!
I love when you do these hat critiques! I hope you find more occasions to do them. Perhaps some historical events would work? Or covering a particular style as it has been interpreted throughout history?
Sorry, but no matter how well coordinated with the design of the outfit A hat may be, gluing it to your forehead in a way that defies gravity and sense looks silly. As opposed to the pleasing and tasteful look of the hat you're wearing, which balances naturally as it accents the shape of your head instead of distorting it.
Tara was stunning, I remember when I saw her thinking wow who is that. Sad she has passed 🥹 Really enjoying your videos & your hat & outfit is stunning ❤❤🇳🇿
I'm confused at Eugenie's hat?...What was the criticism for wearing it? Can you explain that to me again!😆🎩👒I totally agree with all your critiques though.
Hi Kristi! I'm confused about Eugenie's hat also 😅 I think critique wise, the hat did adhere to the style lines of her outfit. However in my personal opinion - I don't like the Vivien Westwood Dress which looked like it is a stage theatre costume, and the hat added to this over-the-top look that was too visually overwhelming and maximalist.
Hi Ilona, I'm glad that this video came up on my feed. I actually LIKE Princess Eugenie's hat. In fact, I believe I could ROCK that hat if given the chance. It might over power her a little, but the hat is beautiful, I love this video, and I think I'll watch it a few more times. I ❤️ your live streams too and am looking forward to the next one. Eventhough i make hats myself, I would like to buy one of yours for my collection. Cheers! 😍
Hello! Thank you so much for your lovely comment! It sure does sound like you could pull off Eugenie's hat! That hat needs a confident wearer! 😁 I promise to do another live stream soon ❤️
Hi. I just discovered your videos and am enjoying them very much. There is a beautiful picture of Queen Elizabeth riding in an open car, wearing a “coolie” hat, covered in what appears to be swirls of peach colored silk or something. It was taken in the 1960s I think. It is so lovely and the shape reminds me of your charming coquette hats. I wish I could send you a picture, but I don’t think that is an option.
Thank you so much 😊 veiling is always veiling, no difference between British and American. The "Russian" part of the name refers to the shape of the diamonds in the weave of the veil. You can get Russian, French, Venetian, merry widow, honeycomb and many more styles!
I think respecting the personality of the wearer, rather than the milliner may have made a difference with the princesses' hats. They were very out there as far as character is concerned, & needed to be worn by people with a very cheeky, very poised personality, like pop star or someone with a dancer's poise. The princesses would both have suited pillboxes or jewelled bands with curves, a more sophisticated look, I think. Re the move on from front of the head hats...Thank Heaven! They look really silly & unbalanced to me, & I hope that fad never returns. I thought Carol Middleton looked amazing in her perfect hat
Hi Margaret, I absolutely agree with you! Us milliners have to be a bit like therapists. We need to be able to read the room and predict the reaction to the wearer's hats and make sure t heir personality matches the hat style. But, as I said in the video, we do get it wrong sometime 🤷♀️
I loved Princess Beatrice's wedding hat! It was very reminiscent of a historical mirror frame Or heraldic frame and was perfect for her shape and outfit.
I dunno....I think both Andrews daughters are a bit frumpy no matter what they wear.
Princes Beatrice is much more stylish since she got married.
They take after their mother. Some things are forever. 🤷🏻♀️
Beatrice and Eugenia need someone to help them choose their clothes and their hats.
Pr Beatrices Hat was ridiculous and didnt do her any justice at all. In fact her whole fashion taste is not attractive either. Similar comment re Pr Eugenie, havent actually seen any outfit that i think suits them. But who am i ?

@@mewtifultomerrow6571 right! They sure did.
I think know both hats are ridiculous
Sorry. I disagree. When Princess Beatrice and Eugenie showed up my first thought was "The ugly stepsisters have arrived!"
I simply can not agree with Beatrice's hat choice. It was utterly ridiculous.
A attention grabber, I hatted it was so ugly.
Interesting how the flawlessly classic look of Jacqueline Kennedy still looks perfectly fresh today, even though it is half a century older than some of the dates 2011 looks.
The hat Beatrice wore was not attractive at all.
Agreed! It’s hideous 🫢🫣
Agree. I thought it looked like something a jester would wear when I first saw it. 😮
She auctioned it for charity.
When I saw Beatrice’s hat I immediately thought of two things: an octopus and a toilet seat, neither of which I want to see on somebody’s head.
The deer antler hat was (imo) a rather tasteless joke meant to upstage the bride. I've always heard there is animosity from the York sisters aimed at Catherine.....whom the considered "common." Perhaps just nasty rumors, but Catherine didn't allow them to intimidate her. She has certainly proven her worth and loyalty to the monarchy, and today epitomizes every quality of a true royal .
Beatrice’s hat was slagged because it looked like a large pretzel.
The York girls just don’t have any fashion sense.
Did not like Victoria Beckhams hat
So satisfying to have such a ‘frivolous’ fashion item analysed in this serious, expert and absorbing way
I'm sorry, but Princess Beatrice looks like she is balancing a fireplace andiron on her head. It doesn't look stylish, but silly.

@AmeseyPop. Princess Beatrice and princess Eugenie are sisters.
This is brilliant. I truly enjoy your hat dos and don'ts! Thank you for teaching us how to hide the hat fastening. I needed that 😀
Both Andrew's daughters looked ridiculous, silly, OTT and childish.Whoever made them should be ashamed.
The york sisters wear the worst hats.
I still think the York girls looked ridiculous. Especially the Bullwinkle the Moose contraption on Beatrice. But that's just me.

I have to go with the late Joan Rivers: Why was Princess Beatrice wearing an IUD on her head?
You are absolutely right about Beatrice and Eugenia. I was very disappointed in their appearance, but hearing your analysis and imaging the royals arriving separately made a big difference in my response to their dress and millinary choices. Thank you!

As a Spaniard I do believe Miriam's outfit was a little too much but thank you for the compliments
Eugenie's entire outfit was awful. The dress was too tight.

I don’t get wearing a hat on your forehead. Being American I guess I just don’t understand. Doesn’t look cute that way to me.
I didn't care for B's hat but it is something I expect from her. She took advantage of the controversy & later sold the hat for a fortune for charity.
I think your favorites are atrocious
I'm afraid I think that Beatrice and Eugenie wouldn't have looked out of place in a pantomime.
I was nodding with you until we reached B'a fascinator.Each to their own.

What type of hat is the best one for someone who needs eye glasses? Thank you
What happens if somebody shows up without a hat?
Love your hat! I have a very small head (20 1/2 inches), so hats are usually waaaaay too big
Don't blame the hat on the wearer....blame the designer!
Both of the hats were disgusting
Your voice is easy and enjoyable to listen to.

Oh yes! I hadn't thought about it that way! Very good spot! 🪞
