The head of the Church of England, Queen Elizabeth II:
The sleeves on this alb are almost as wide as the cappa magna is long!
What a pity, in England this female head of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the USA was not allowed to wear this sober mitre but rather had to carry it in her hand! I suspect Queen Elizabeth II as head of the Church of England did not want to be outdone in idiosyncrasies.

I find nothing odd about the vestments worn by the Orthodox, the multi-colored ones worn by the Episcopalians in these pictures however are an eye sore. They look like hand me downs from a Gay Pride parade.
I see nothing flamboyant, ridiculous or silly (except for the pictures of that deluded woman who imagines she is a bishop).
