Princess Beatrice Hired Emma Watson's Stylist: How Her Style Has Changed Since That Infamous Hat

Princess Beatrice took a lot of heat for the Philip Treacy hat she wore to the Royal Wedding. That hat spawned hilarious internet memes (some likening it to a toilet), was the inspiration for numerous Facebook pages (including one comparing it to a uterus), and ultimately raised over $130,000 for charity after Bea had the brilliant idea to put it up on eBay. While Princess Beatrice seemed to take all the hat flack in stride, the Daily Mail is reporting that she has hired Emma Watson's stylist Charlie Anderson because she was " 'mortified' by criticism of her outfit at the Royal Wedding." Anderson, the former fashion director at Tatler, reportedly charges £1,500 a day (that's $2395), and according to the tab, other clients have included Anne Hathaway, Nicole Richie and Katie Holmes. Anderson's agency confirmed to the Mail that she has been working with the Princess of York since the Royal Wedding and signed a nondisclosure agreement. So is Anderson worth her crazy high day rate? So far it seems so. Take a look at Bea's best outfits post-Royal Wedding.

Princess Beatrice's Hat Sells for Over $130,000; A Look Back at the Meme It Created

The infamous Philip Treacy hat that Princess Beatrice wore to the royal wedding has been sold at auction on eBay for £81,100.01--that's $130765.66. Proceeds will go to benefit Bea's chosen charities: UNICEF and Children in Crisis. The bidder's identity has not yet been revealed. The hat's auction page was viewed around 724,000 times and 94 bids were placed on it, according to the UK's Telegraph. The sale also sets a new record for the sale of a designer hat on eBay. It's a lot of money for hat that a lot of people thought was ridiculous. Bea's hat caused nearly as much of a fuss as Kate Middleton's wedding dress or Pippa Middleton's bum. It prompted the creation of countless Facebook pages from "Princess Beatrice's ridiculous Royal Wedding hat" which has 143,609 likes to "Princess Beatrice's hat looks like a uterus" with 930 likes.

Princess Beatrice's Royal Wedding Fascinator and The Dude's Big Lebowski Cardigan Are Up For Auction (But Not Together)

Two very different, completely unrelated yet iconic items of clothing are going up for auction. Sarah Ferguson, aka the Duchess of York, aka Fergie, told Oprah today that her eldest daughter, Princess Beatrice, would auction off her infamous Philip Treacy fascinator on eBay to benefit UNICEF and Children in Crisis, according to People. (Fergie also, as it has been widely reported, confessed to Oprah that not being invited to the wedding while her daughters attended in all their couture-and-Treacy-finery was "very difficult.") Bea's hat garnered almost as much attention as Kate's wedding dress or Pippa's bum, and has inspired the creation of several Facebook groups (my favorite is "Princess Beatrice's hat looks like a uterus"). While most of the attention has been negative, Bea doesn't mind.

The Best and Worst Hats and Fascinators of the Royal Wedding

After the dress, the royal wedding is really all about the hats. And fascinators. Some opted for opulence while others stuck to tradition, and some looked as though they either over thought or put no thought into their head gear at all. Among the best were the devilishly elegant Zara Phillips, Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria, and Queen Sofia and Princess Letizia of Spain. But there were some who buckled under the pressure, as you will see after the jump.
