Kate Middleton Sports Custom $675 Hat for Zara Phillips's Wedding [PHOTOS]

 Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, is already known for her keen fashion sense, and her mastery of recycling looks from her own closet, but when it comes to hats, well, it seems the new royal is willing to spend a pretty penny.
At the wedding of Prince William's cousin Zara Phillips to Mike Tindall, Kate were a cream Collette Dinnigan French lace dress and Day Birger et Mikkelsen brocade coat, first worn in 2006 at the wedding of Laura Parker Bowles and Harry Lopes. She wore it a second time at the 2010 wedding of Mel Nicholson and Oli Baker.
But for Phillips's wedding, Kate accessorized her outfit with a brand new, bespoke hat by British milliner Gina Foster, People.com reported.
The natural straw coulis, called "Launceston Place," retails for about $675, and was customized by the duchess herself in a visit to the hat maker 10 days before the July 30 nuptials.
