I must admit that I watch the Derby for the hats.
Most of the hats were awful this year. Most of those women had no idea how to wear a hat. The best hat was on the woman who sang the Star Spangled Banner. She had it all pulled together, complete with matching red gloves.
That reminded me that it used to be a fashion “law” that you never wore a hat without gloves. If it was too hot to wear gloves, you carried them — but the gloves had to be there. When was the last time you saw that?
I don’t know who fitted Steffy Graf with her hat. Totally the wrong color on her. It made her skin look like mud.
I did catch a glimpse of one of the owner’s, or breeder’s wives sitting there — a brunette — wearing a royal blue dress and a hat with blue and yellow flowers on it. That looked grand.
