Hattery Event: Andrea Casiraghi's Engagement Party

Time to start the royal (well, princely) wedding countdown again, hatters -- Princess Caroline's baby boy is getting hitched!  Andrea Casiraghi -- who, even without a title, is currently second in line to the Monegasque throne -- is engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Tatiana Santo Domingo, and to celebrate, of course, they threw a big bash on a yacht.  (What, you don't have a yacht?  Psssh.  Plebians.)

And, even better?  The yacht party theme was apparently RAGAMUFFINS IN HATS.  Read on, hatters.  Trust me: you won't regret it.

Say it with me now, hatters: THE WOMAN WITH THE COMICALLY LARGE HAT AND THE BANANA CLUTCH COULD ONE DAY BE THE PRINCESS OF MONACO.  No joke, kids.  If Al and Charlene don't have any little princes or princesses, Andrea will one day inherit the throne.  I mean, this has to happen, right?  BANANA CLUTCH.

And, really, be still my crazy hat lovin' heart, everybody.  This woman is a gift to the hattery gods.

But it's not as if Mr. Casiraghi can't hold his hattery own.  I really enjoy that he seems to live in Florida circa 1992.

And if he doesn't wear this comedy fez to his wedding, frankly, I'm going to be inconsolable.

And finally -- look at the only legit royal in the tender, repping for the teacup fascinator.  Amazing.  Alexandra, I knew you were destined for greatness.

So how excited are you all for this wedding now?  I hope it's going to be as nuts as Tatiana's good buddy Margherita Missoni's recent wedding.  (Take a peek.)  Shall we start guessing wedding themes?  Right now, I'm going with either Hipster Woodland Creature Circus or Eccentric Mime Fantasy Theatre.

P.S.: BLING:

    Normally I hate floppy brims, but I think the flower embellishments save Tatiana this time; just please tell me that's not a maxi dress she's wearing.

    Andrea, that fedora is awesome, but please lose the God-awful tie and find a blazer that is more form fitting; this one just has too much volume. Also, the fez is pretty amazing even if it is comical.

    Finally, Alexandra in a teacup fascinator?! It's so Lady Gaga meets Princess Beatrice, and I love how ridiculous it is.

    The dress is a maxi, and I think it's pretty. The had looks like it got caught between two big recliners, and actually doesn't make me think it would like good even without being smashed. The banana clutch actually made me laugh when I saw it, and makes me think they're just having fun and not taking themselves too seriously. What is amazing about these photos is that Tatiana is actually smiling and seems to be having lovely time. Usually, she is unsmiling and appears to be unhappy. Congratulations to the happy couple...LOVE the ring!

    I kind of love Andrea's look. And are we sure that's a clutch? Maybe they're just going to play a game of bananagrams...

    Banana clutches! Florida circa 1992! Tiny Teacup hats!

    My God, Mad Hattery indeed. I actually like the floppy, flowery straw hat.

    But, wow, that is some mad hattery. ;)

    How is it that Bea hasn't already worn that fascinator?! Should have been a lock in for Zara's wedding, if not Ascot. Maybe she'll order one now she's seen it.

    I am liking the hats but afraid I do not like the ring. It's just way too much for my tastes.

    ELLA- WHERE HAVE YOU GONE??? Really missed you when you vanished this spring! I know you have to eat so a job with salary is a good thing.... But I hope that all is well. Could you just give us one post every month just to let your fans know that all is well in your kingdom? Just a note to say "Hi there. I'm fine and will be back in the fall"? This summer was full of various royals at the London Olympics but they were not a real Hattery events. Unless you count baseball caps. Princess Anne's bucket hat was actually better then many of the official, formal Hattery chapeaus!

    Thanks for the concern! I am incredibly busy right now in real life, but in really good ways. I'm not sure when I'm going to be able to devote any time to blogging in the near future, so I'm afraid I can't give you a timeline. But thank you so much for wondering! :-)
