Rebecca Gonsalves: Not all queens wear a crown, but with this hat there's little doubt that Her Maj is in charge. Beyoncé, take note.

Mike Higgins: Feels a little needy: hey, everyone, I might be in "disguise", but don't forget about me, will you? Could it be time for a Reine check?

Rebecca: I thought these were worn only by dogs and bandits – she’s obviously getting into the guns’n’ammo theme of a day out paintballing.

Mike: But Cannes isn’t exactly the Wild West, is it? Mind you, with the skull and crossbones motif, maybe she’s playing pirates. This dress-up malarkey isn’t easy, you know.
