There are few certainties in life aside from, a) drunk and disorderly people attending Melbourne Cup, and b) the fact that there will be fascinators perched upon many of their heads.
However, this year’s throng of glamorous types attending Flemington Racecourse for the celebrations have burned the fashion rule book to a smoking cinder.
In fact, fascinators now seem to be perfectly passé. Gone. Dead. Over.
In their place are crowns. Yes, queen-worthy crowns that belong on the noggins of Disney Princesses. Bejewelled, embellished and of the classy variety that wouldn’t be out of place on the likes of Princess Mary, these crowns look like they weigh a tonne but their beauty surely outweighs any serious neck complications that’ll arise, right?
First on the bandwagon is the ever stylish blogger and owner of online boutique The Con-Nection, Nadia Bartel, in a Christie Millinery creation.

They look beautiful, like bridal pieces. I much much prefer them to those bloody stupid fascinator duck arse things they stick on their head. Nothing looks more ridiculous than fascinators. Crown or headbands; they all but a couple look beautiful, conservative and classy. And FUNCTIONAL, which fascinators are not.
Love the crowns, much prefer them to hats!
