Prince William's bride-to-be Kate Middleton, whose sartorial1 style will be closely scrutinized2 by fashionistas once she's officially a princess, is already getting credit for bringing one style stateside -- the precariously-perched feathered "fascinator."

英国准王妃凯特·米德尔顿正式“转正”后，她的服饰品味当然会受到时尚人士的挑剔，而她掀起的“头饰风”现在就已风靡美国，并且广受好评。这一新潮流的标志就是看上去甚至有些遥遥欲坠的羽毛“头巾”。

The fascinator（迷人的人或物） is a particularly ornate hair accessory that can feature feathers, beads3, flowers and other fancy trimmings（香肠原料肉） .

Kate seems to favor the feathered variety and has been photographed wearing a variety of them.

Fascination4 over the Fascinator is growing in the United States, with Google searches up 50% for this style of hat since January.

Fascinator sales have soared recently at Cedar5 Park, Texas-based Serendipity6 Tiaras, an online seller and supplier of bridal（新娘的） accessories such as veils, broaches7, tiaras（女式冕状头饰） and fascinators to bridal boutiques.

"Orders are coming in from all over but most are from California, New York, New Jersey8 and Pennsylvania," said Serendipity Tiaras owner Laura Lyons.

In the United States, brides tend to prefer headbands, veils and tiaras. So Lyons was surprised with the jump in fascinator orders just as the summer wedding season gets underway.

In fact, at Serendipity Tiaras, fascinator sales have trumped9 orders for tiaras, considered to be the traditional wedding headpiece, she said.

"Orders are coming in for all kinds of feathered fascinators. Customers also want fascinators with a small spray of flowers, tulle or with a hat," she said.

Lyons said prices for her China-made fascinators range from $35 to $100. As demand heats up, Lyons said some of her styles are on backorder but promises to fulfill10 each order as quickly as she can.

"We definitely expect demand to go up even more," said Lyons. Interestingly, she's also getting several overseas orders, including from Malta, Australia, Ireland and from Kate's homeland of the United Kingdom.
