The Royal Ascot has once again brought out the UK’s finest in wacky and tacky daytime millinery. Let’s judge the most ostentatious of those hats with GIFs!
Black-and-white floral hat with lace motif.
This had has great height and texture, and is definitely on-trend in terms of coloring. But the design feels a bit safe.

It's fine, but not great.
Neon red-orange and fuchsia fascinator that looks like it has a little pink sail on top.
Major points here for asymmetry and modernity.

No. 2 offers what every hat should: the ability to remind Kate Middleton of the fact that it REALLY sucks that she's a public servant and just can't get away with wearing neon. Ever.
