Return of Fashion Innovator: Ranelle Larocque of Queen Bee Millinery Brings Elegance to the King's Plate Event
Get ready for a hat-tastic event at the Woodbine Racetrack in Etobicoke, as Queen Bee Millinery has been announced as the official milliner for the King's Plate horse race in 2023.
Queen Bee Millinery, based in Perth, Ontario, has been recognised as the official hat maker for this prestigious event [5][3]. Ranelle Larocque, the owner of Queen Bee Millinery, is thrilled to be working with Woodbine Racetrack and honoured by the opportunity.
As for the millinery trends for the King's Plate, while specific 2023 trends are yet to be detailed, general fashion for race day hats often includes bespoke, handcrafted pieces with fine detailing such as hand-stitched grosgrain ribbons, as seen in millinery artisan videos like those from Rose Collins Millinery [2]. Expect the 2023 King's Plate to feature bespoke, detailed hats reflecting sophistication and artisanal quality, aligned with the prestige of the event.
Ranelle Larocque's designs have graced events such as Royal Ascot, the Kentucky Derby, and garden parties at Buckingham Palace. She launched her shop in 2020, but she had been active online for approximately one year on Instagram before that [6]. The duration of hat production can vary based on design intricacy, materials used, and other factors. For instance, certain hats by Ranelle Larocque can take up to 45 hours to create.
Ranelle Larocque lives on an 80-acre farm in McDonalds Corners with her husband, who served in the Canadian Armed Forces for three decades. She is optimistic about clear weather on Saturday for the King's Plate.
At the King's Plate, a diverse selection of hats and fascinators are expected, showcasing the event's reputation as a fashionable and social gathering. Ranelle Larocque has not disclosed the most renowned person for whom she has crafted a hat, stating that all of her work is confidential.

Ranelle Larocque took over as the milliner for the King's Plate in 2024, following David Dunkley who held the position for 13 years. She will remain the official milliner for the King's Plate until one party chooses to step down. Ranelle Larocque is excited to watch the horses and jockeys at the King's Plate.
Initially, Ranelle Larocque's clients were fellow military spouses. Military life presented challenges for Ranelle Larocque, and crafting hats was a way for her to manage during that period. Today, she creates one-of-a-kind bespoke hats, fascinators, and headpieces for various occasions.
Ranelle Larocque received her certification from the Katherine Elizabeth Millinery and Business Academy in London, England. She is grateful for the opportunities that have come her way and looks forward to continuing her work with the King's Plate in the future.
