NYC Easter Parade Photos: See the Best Bonnets of 2016
New York City's annual Easter Parade was as fabulous as ever in 2016, with creative costumes ranging from the political to the very silly.
New Yorkers always seem to outdo themselves in their Easter attire, including some outlandish bonnets, at this spring tradition. We were there for the Easter Sunday festivities as onlookers and participants crowded onto Fifth Ave between 49th and 51st Streets, and saw all manner of hats and costumes. Read on to see photos of some of our favorites.

These Easter parade fellas showed off their "wild-life" side.

It's hard to go wrong with a butterfly bonnet.

But why not build your Easter bonnet out of Trivial Pursuit cards?

Of course, there was plenty of photobombing.

Feathers were a favorite hat add-on, as New Yorkers stayed on-trend.

And some things are just unique, breathtaking and inexplicable—like New York City itself.
