Long live the hat… The most controversial, popular hat so far this year? The hat Aretha Franklin wore while singing at President Obama’s inauguration. This bow-tied hat was a huge hit from the day she wore it and is still in high demand.
A bit loud for my taste but I think the hat was appropriate for the occasion and Aretha rocked it! This iconic hat is will be displayed at Smithsonian along with other inauguration items including First Lady Michelle Obama‘s lovely ball gown.
You can get a similar satin ribbon version, Aretha Promo Hat for $179 at MrSongMillinery.com.
