Lele Sadoughi Style Guide

NAVY CALLA LILY FASCINATOR

An editorial navy sinamay fascinator sculpted into sweeping calla lilies and plumes, designed to crown a derby-ready look with old-Hollywood drama and modern polish. Worn slightly off-center, it transforms even the simplest dress into a head-turning statement.

10 Ways to Wear It

1. Pair the navy calla lily fascinator with a crisp white cotton poplin shirt, high-waisted cream wide-leg trousers, and pearl drop earrings for a clean, derby-day silhouette where the hat remains the singular focal point.
2. Style it with a tailored navy blazer, ivory silk camisole, sleek trousers, and small gold huggies so the sculptural plumes command the head while the tailoring keeps the look sharp and modern.
3. Layer a delicate gold chain necklace over a slip dress in champagne, add barely-there diamond studs, and let the fascinator's calla lilies frame the face for a romantic, Old Hollywood-inspired entrance.
4. Wear it with an off-the-shoulder black midi dress, statement chandelier earrings that fall just below the jawline, and a thin metallic belt at the waist to keep proportions balanced and let the navy pop.
5. Pair with a fitted navy cashmere turtleneck, camel wide-leg trousers, oversized tortoiseshell sunglasses, and small gold studs for a chic city-stroll look that feels pulled together and intentional.
6. Style over a soft white eyelet sundress with flat strappy sandals, dainty layered gold necklaces, and tiny diamond studs so the hat's drama is balanced by the softness of the dress.
7. Match the navy with a full-skirted polka-dot midi dress in cream and navy, a thin navy grosgrain belt at the waist, and small pearl studs to keep the focus on the face-framing plumes.
8. Layer it into a modern derby look with a tailored pastel blazer in powder blue, white pleated skirt, pointed nude slingbacks, and a single strand of pearls for a refined, race-day finish.
9. Pair the fascinator with a sleek black turtleneck, high-waisted emerald satin trousers, drop earrings, and a structured clutch for a gallery-opening ensemble that lets the calla lilies do the talking.
10. Style it with a flowing ivory silk blouse tucked into wide-leg navy trousers, a thin gold chain belt, layered delicate gold necklaces, and no earrings to keep the silhouette clean and the headpiece dominant.

Styling Tips

• Position the fascinator slightly off-center and tilted just above the brow to showcase the calla lilies and create the most flattering face-framing line.
• Keep jewelry minimal and dainty—pearl studs, thin gold huggies, or a single delicate necklace—so the sculptural headpiece remains the singular statement.
• Store the piece in a hat box to preserve the sinamay shape and protect the handcrafted plumes between wears.
• Choose an updo or low chignon when possible to keep the silhouette clean and let the dramatic scale of the hat read from every angle.
• Coordinate your dress color to a complementary palette like ivory, champagne, or powder blue so the navy tones glow against the skin.
