Hey Royal Ascot, you’re fab and all, but we recently held our own chic homage to all things hat and fascinator at the recent Les amis de la montagne’s Chapeau Mont Royal Benefit Luncheon. Close to 500 influencers and leaders attended the swish affair, donning their most stylish hats and headwear to help raise over $150,000 towards the continuity and enhancement of youth educational programs on Mount Royal.
