The royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, now the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, was a hallmark in many ways, including being a show of the best that fashion can offer.
Among the traditional customs at British weddings and other formal events, the hats, “fascinators” and various sculptural hair arrangements that women wear to showcase their celebratory moods and daring style, are among the most eye-catching. With that in mind, the displays of styles and colors at Meghan’s and Harry’s nuptials offered many visions to behold.

For formal royal events – and there are only a few more formal than a wedding – rules exist relating to fashion choices that female guests should follow, such as wearing knee-length or longer dresses that cover their shoulders, and accessorizing their heads.
Studded with celebrities accustomed to serving up red-carpet looks and the royal family as well as other British aristocrats adept at displaying their sophistication with headgear, the royal wedding was a master class in hats, fascinators and day dresses, and a rainbow of colors and styles that won’t be seen again soon.
