No, that's not a fluffy chicken on princess-to-be Kate Middleton's head, it's a fascinator—a decorative headpiece often seen worn in the UK at dressy occasions. CNN reports: "Fascination over the Fascinator is growing in the United States, with Google searches up 50% for this style of hat since January... David's Bridal, the nation's largest seller of bridal gowns and accessories used to sell fascinators but only in select stores. 'Demand is up now so we're making sure we have more of them in stock and we now sell them in all of our stores,' said Dan Rentillo, the company's design director." [CNN Money]
