fascinator
noun
- a headpiece commonly made of feathers
---
A fascinator is a headpiece, a style of millinery. The word originally referred to a fine, lacy head covering similar to a shawl and was made from wool or lace. The term had almost fallen into disuse by the 1970s.
In the early 21st century, the term has made a comeback, but the meaning has slightly changed. It is now used to describe a delicate, slightly-to-very frivolous head decoration worn almost exclusively by women.
A fascinator may be worn instead of a hat to occasions such as weddings or as an evening accessory, when it may be called a cocktail hat. It is generally worn with fairly dressy attire. Modern fascinators are commonly made with feathers, flowers and/or beads.
They attach to the hair by a comb, headband or clip. They are particularly popular at premium horse-racing events, such as the Grand National, Ascot and the Melbourne Cup.
