I googled 'aretha franklin hat' and 330,000 links came up. To say this hat drew buzz, would be an understatement of monumental proportion, such as the hat itself.
My take on the hat...it worked for her...and it was big and loud and alive and those 3 words describe Aretha herself, to me. People, Queen Elizabeth don't wear a knitted beanie, and our Queen of Soul should be allowed to chose her crown as well.
From a fashion standpoint, I think she balanced her headset nicely with her bosom size and girth. A tiny little pillbox hat would have been silly. Atleast it didn't have netting and feathers and all that crazy crap the Brits like to hot glue to their wig toppers.
So, I say it was tasteful, artsy and I hope no one decides it's right for them. Show a little Respect for Aretha and let her always be known for that hat alone.

I too loved the hat and thought she wore it like the queen she is. And, the woman stays true to her hometown, it turns out the hat was fashioned by a milner in Detroit. Go Aretha!
A little Idol controversy already.
