Top Hat: Memorable Hat Moments in History

The French queen will be remembered not only for losing her head, but also for what she wore on top of it: feathers, flowers and even once a boat to commemorate a French Naval victory.

After the success of her 1943 film, The Gang's All Here, Brazilian performer Carmen Miranda made a habit of wearing a totally over-the-top fruit hat when performing.

Renowned for her sculptural haute couture designs and famous for dressing style icons from Grace Kelly to Greta Garbo, Madame Grès will forever be recognized for her signature silk turban. In more recent years, stylist June Ambrose has helped bring back the bygone trend.

Audrey Hepburn's performance as wacky heroine Holly Golightly in the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany's may have been her most memorable role, thanks to her charming acting and that fabulous chapeau du matin.

Designer Oleg Cassini was responsible for creating the first lady's head-to-toe look, which included the iconic pillbox hat.

True to her haute hippie status, Ali MacGraw attended the Academy Awards wearing a crocheted knit cap.

Daryl Dragon of '70s soft rock duo Captain & Tennille made the captain's hat a fashion statement on and off the boat, while Toni Tennille, seen here, stuck to a classic fedora of the era.

The fictional treasure-hunter’s fedora quickly gained icon status after the 1981 release of Raiders of the Lost Ark and has since made a comeback with the resurgence of rigged, safari-inspired looks for spring.

The always cutting-edge singer Grace Jones made a statement at the 25th Grammy Awards in 1983 with a chinoise-inspired chapeau.

Created in 1914 by British jeweler Garrard, the Cambridge Lovers Knot tiara was a wedding present given to the princess by Queen Elizabeth II. Although it was widely speculated that Kate Middleton would wear it on her wedding day, the new duchess instead chose a 1936 topper by Cartier.

Madonna has worn her share of bizarre headgear, but it was the cowboy hat she donned in the video for her 2000 single Don't Tell Me that contributed to one of her most memorable reinventions.

At last year's royal wedding, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice of York almost stole the show with their outrageous Philip Treacy hats.

As with any high-profile event, part of the fun is dressing up, and the Kentucky Derby is no exception. Last year's best hat (in our eyes) goes to TV personality Erin Andrews for her chic black-and-white plumed concoction.

In November 2011, Lady Gaga made headlines yet again with her hot pink sperm hat while filming an interview in London. #popsingersarecrazy?
