Does it get any better than this, Stella McCartney? Yesterday, the British designer was awarded Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE)—an honor presented by Queen Elizabeth II herself!—due to her dedication and contributions to British fashion. After all, this is the woman to designed Great Britain’s uniforms for the London Olympics and dressed the Future Queen, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge multiple times, so this recognition makes the royal family official fans. So, for her bout at Buckingham Palace, McCartney’s outfit represented her own talents—she chose a cobalt blue skirt-suit she designed as well as a headpiece hand-sewn by her milliner pal Philip Treacy, which consisted of two Cartier jewels and a veil she bought as a teen, WWD reports. Papa Paul must be so proud.

With the Seattle Seahawks’ big win against the Dallas Cowboys last night and millions of fans counting down to tonight’s Monday Night Football showdowns, we’ve got NFL on the brain! And we’re not the only ones: Lady Gaga seems to be having quite the football moment herself. First, the performer sported a sequined New York Giants jersey, and then the Fame fragrance creator sat front row at celebrity milliner Philip Treacy’s London Fashion Week show—after opening the event!—in a helmet-shaped bouquet of flowers, which she paired with a green velvet bustier dress and lace boots by Alexander McQueen. We’re quite intrigued by Gaga’s fascination with football, and particularly her penchant for wearing interpretations of its uniform. Could 10-inch heel-less cleats be far behind? Tell us in comments, do you wear football-themed fashions?

Lady Gaga was in London this week, where she paid a visit to celebrity milliner Philip Treacy. “Just another day in England having tea and hats with my darling friend Philip Treacy. Mint Blonde at Jonathan Ross,” the pop star tweeted. Gaga picked up some new headgear at Treacy’s studio, including a rose-shaped fascinator and a dollar-sign-topped hat, which she debuted during a Notting Hill shopping spree. Fun fact: Philip Treacy also created Princess Beatrice‘s famous royal wedding topper.  Click through the gallery to browse more of the Irish designer’s fanciful creations!

When princesses and pop stars want a statement-making hat they turn to their favorite milliner: Philip Treacy (shown with Kate Winslet). Recently, his fanciful creations graced the heads of Sarah Jessica Parker, Serena Williams, and 37 members of the Royal Wedding party. So who is Mr. Treacy? The Irish-born designer has been creating toppers since the age of five, when he made miniature hats for his sisters’ dolls, and he later honed his sewing skills at Dublin’s National College of Art and Design and London’s Royal College of Art. Just before his graduation, Treacy showed his hats to Tatler fashion director Isabella Blow, who took the young designer under her wing. Treacy opened up shop in the basement of Blow’s London home, and eventually scored jobs designing hats for Chanel, Alexander McQueen, Ralph Lauren, and more. The five-time British Accessory Designer of the Year award winner has a loyal following: Lady Gaga, Demi Moore, and the British royal family are some of his best clients.
