Queen Bee Millinery's Ranelle Larocque crisps up the style scene as she comes back to boost fashion at The King's Plate event.
Ranelle Larocque, the talented milliner behind Queen Bee Millinery, based in Perth, Ontario, is once again the official milliner for the King's Plate, Canada's oldest thoroughbred horse race. This marks her second consecutive year in this prestigious role [1][3].
Larocque's designs have been a standout at various prestigious events, including Royal Ascot, the Kentucky Derby, formal military functions, bridal events, and garden parties at Buckingham Palace. Her work is a testament to the versatility of hat culture as a form of self-expression and fashion [1].
For the King's Plate, Larocque emphasises personality and elegance in her designs, crafting pieces that perfectly complement the event's fashionable atmosphere where hats are a key style statement [4]. Her millinery craft spans various styles and techniques, reflecting the creativity inherent in Canadian hat-making [1].
The production of Ranelle's hats can vary, with intricate designs and unique techniques taking up to 45 hours to complete. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind bespoke hat, fascinator, or headpiece, designed specifically for the individual's personality, features, and the outfit they will wear for the event [2].
Ranelle's journey in millinery began in 2018, with her launching her shop in 2020. Prior to this, she had been active online for approximately one year on Instagram, sharing her passion and learning journey [1]. Her clientele initially consisted of fellow military spouses, but she now works with a diverse range of clients, including renowned individuals and serious collectors [1].
This year, Ranelle has spent six months creating an ensemble with a black and cream colour palette for the King's Plate. She will wear red to complete the look [2]. In 2024, she took over from David Dunkley, who held the position for 13 years [1].
The King's Plate horse race will take place at Woodbine Racetrack in Etobicoke on Saturday. The event is renowned for its fashionable and social gathering, with a diverse selection of hats and fascinators expected [1]. Ranelle Larocque's designs are sure to add to the stylish and celebratory environment of the King's Plate.
