Hat's Off To Will and Kate

Since the engagement announcement in November 2010, I know that I am well and truly over this upcoming royal wedding. The whole world would be watching this gala event on 29 April, but I am only interested in one thing and one thing only. Who designed the dress?

So here's my inspiration for the day, as inspired by this royal frenzy. What do we need when we go to a royal wedding? A fancy hat. And who do we go to for a press-worthy hat? Philip Treacy. So here is some of his work, in many gravity-defying shapes, form and sizes.
