Aretha Franklin performed at the Inauguration ceremony wearing an outfit of tonal greys and pearl earrings. But it was her statement hat that has been causing quite a fashion stir. The felt cloche hat with a large bow encrusted with Swarovski crystals has led to a massive demand for copies.
The hat was made by Luke Song, who custom-made the design especially for Aretha.
But since the ceremony, Song has received floods of requests for the same hat. Unfortunately the hat was solely made for Aretha, however Song has decided to create an alternate hat with ribbon detailing. This version costs $179. Customers have apparently been snapping up the consumer friendly version. Who can really resist a crystal encrusted bow?
