The Smithsonian would like to have Aretha Franklin's now-famous hat she wore at the inauguration, and she is considering donating it.
It's sad in a way hats went out of style after the early 1960s except among African American women. Hats had a lot of elegance, and women back then always wore hats, white gloves, and matching purses and shoes before they went out.
Fashion has been pretty much "anything goes" since the late 1960s.
