With all of the recent appearances by the Royal Family as part of the Royal Jubilee celebrations and with Royal Ascot taking place, hats and fascinators are currently big news. The Duchess of Cambridge has really put fascinators into the spotlight but the new strict dress code at Ascot has meant that larger headpieces and hats are back in vogue too.

This nude beaded cocktail hat by Jane Taylor Millinery is the same one the Duchess wore at the Jubilee service and costs £790.
