We get it, we get it: you guys really like Kate Middleton. But this post isn’t about her – it’s about Queen Elizabeth II, who turns 86 today!

So what does she have in store for the big night? Double decker party bus?! No, no, the Queen won’t celebrate her birthday publicly until June 16th (quirky Brits…), when she will be honored at the annual Trooping the Colour ceremony. We, however, plan on fêting her 86th with a roundup of some of her most stylish moments in recent years. Predictably, there are a lot of hats involved.

No one rocks a hat quite like the Queen.

Your daily dose of Kate. Plus some floral.

THE CUTEST.

Mint on mint on mint.

Silk in Singapore.

Look at that weave (referring to her jacket here)...very Proenza Fall.

Queen of monochrome.

Très Geoffrey Beene.

Let's hope PETA is far, far away (though she looks like she could take on a flour bomber in this outfit.)

Let’s all start wearing hats! I love them. And wasn’t that the BEST picture on the ice? That mischievous look on her face is priceless.
