Jewelry Jewelry Learning Center: Diamonds & More Trends Shopping From Carly Wickell, your Guide to Jewelry Hats at the Kentucky Derby aren't usually as outrageous as the headwear on ladies at England's Royal Ascot.

Derby Day Hats Roses are a Derby theme, and a top choice for hat decor, but orchids, camellias and hibiscus are popular, too. Ashlee Simpson opted for a white head-hugging cloche this year, but Vanessa Millinno went the opposite direction style-wise, wearing a hat with a brim almost as wide as an umbrella. Bonnie Jill Laflin's hat had a cowgirlish appeal, and Frances Robinson (aka Mrs. Smokey) looked elegant in layers of grey and black.

Think natural materials -- bamboo beads and woven strands of palm are a couple. Wooden beads are popular and are usually mixed with other components, like brightly colored gemstones, or leather, feathers and bone.
