Hats. Not those ubiquitous floppy halos or neon-tinged adolescence-extenders, but legit, transcendent millinery. Last night's Bonnet Bash at The National Arts Club proved that the Park Avenue checkbooks don't have a monopoly on whimsical headwear.

The theme of the free event (sponsored by the Milliners Guild) was "Into the Woods."

Mushroom Hat Man wins.
