Some looked like dinner plates. Others were so large they covered faces. One woman wore a bright red fascinator - a hairpiece attached to a clip or a comb - that resembled a flame licking her cheek. Irish designer Philip Treacy made most of the hats for royals attending the wedding - 36 in all that included creations for Prince Charles' wife, the duchess of Cornwall, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Princess Michael of Kent, Queen Anna-Marie of Greece and Princess Mathilde of Belgium. He also designed a hat for Hollywood royalty: Victoria Beckham wore a midnight blue Treacy hat. And dozens of less famous guests wore his creations as well.
