USA TODAY TAKES THE HIGH ROAD FOR HEADWEAR

Hats were the topic of conversation in USA Today last week. The article, A Tip of the Hat to Fashion, honors hat wearing as a sign of acceptance because of its Hollywood heritage: “Derbies, fedoras, cowboy hats. Hollywood fashionistas have been spotted sporting all shapes and sizes this fall. USA TODAY takes a look at celebs showing off their headwear.”

Uma Thurman - “In chilly New York City on Oct. 21, the sexy Prime star made the rounds in a furry Club Monaco topper, a fitting display of this season’s new Russian-look fashion trend.”

Charlize Theron - “The North Country star was a front-row attendee at the Pegah Anvarian fashion show Oct. 17 in Culver City, Calif. With low slung fedora and trench coat, she is the picture of the season’s new gentlemanly styles.”

Sharon Stone - “Only Stone could pull off an over-the-top cowboy look in Hollywood during daylight. She was in denim and white hat Oct. 18 at the unveiling of Antonio Banderas’ star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.”

Ashlee Simpson - “Simpson hit TRL Oct. 18 sporting a French cabaret look, a loosely crocheted black beret with matching flower over one ear. Later that night, she was photographed in a leopard print beret.”

Yoko Ono - “Stepping out for Prince Charles and Camilla’s New York visit Tuesday, Ono was far from a wallflower in a plunging black outfit topped with a matching cockeyed, wide-brimmed bonnet.”
