Romana's Top Hat with Green Trim

A tailored black top hat with a narrow emerald-green silk trim running along the brim, Romana’s Tara ensemble contrasts regal formality with a modern twist. The hat’s high crown and stiff felt sit precisely at the crown of her head atop carefully styled silver hair, the green ribbon catching the light as she moves. It accentuates her poised bearing while allowing her quick, purposeful gestures as she transitions from interstellar traveler to planetary scholar, acknowledging both mission discipline and the Doctor’s resistance to urgency.
