I love the hat. I think it's awesome and anyone who criticizes it doesn't understand that the whole function of hats to be as big and as bold as possible.
I'm reminded of a scene from '9-to-5,' where Lily Tomlin is showing new hire Jane Fonda around the office. She takes a look at the head-wear that Jane's character thinks is 'office girl' and says: "Well have to find a special locker for that hat."
She totally rocked it. She looked fantastic- and she has had a few serious fashion mishaps recently (NAACP - just to name one). So I was super happy to see her looking so elegant- she has a Marian Anderson look- very retro. Go Queen, Go!
If I were not a wan white girl, I would so wear that outfit.
ok, I DO love The Hat...adn The Hat HAS to be capitalized!! But come on...I know it was cold out...whateverrrrrrr, she SUCKED!!! I love me some Areatha, I really do, but girlfriend sounded BAD. Beyonce she aint...sorry Tranny.
I HATED the hat. In the sun, the crystals looked like LEDs, blinking as she moved around. Not sure I would have liked it better without the glitz though.
I say it takes a hell of a woman to pull off a hat like that. More power to her.

ReplyDeleteI actually loved the hat. You have to have a certain degree of fabulosity to pull that off and Ms. Franklin has fabulosity up ying-yang.
ReplyDeleteI loved it, too! It fits her.
