Madam Speaker is a refined navy mother of the bride style hat defined by its graceful upturned brim and beautifully balanced proportions. Crafted in navy sinamay, the silhouette is timeless and flattering, offering structure without heaviness. A trail of white orchids sweeps across the brim, adding softness and light while maintaining a composed, dignified presence.

The hat is inspired by Betty Boothroyd, the first woman to serve as Speaker of the House of Commons. Known for her authority, warmth, and unwavering integrity, Boothroyd redefined leadership with calm strength and clarity. Madam Speaker reflects those same qualities — elegant, assured, and quietly powerful.
