Celebrities Use Hats to Showcase Personal Style and Values

NEW YORK — Hats have become more than just a fashion accessory for celebrities; they are a way to express personal style and make a statement. High-profile figures like Kendall Jenner, Bad Bunny, and Rihanna have sported the New York Yankees logo, while others use caps to reveal their interests.

Actress Jennifer Lawrence is a known collector of novelty caps. Her current favorites include a black cap featuring ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 1’ in red, a navy Shania Twain hat, and a pink cap honoring Wong Kar-wai’s ‘In the Mood for Love.’ Lawrence often uses her hats to share both highbrow and mainstream cultural references.

Celebrity hats also serve as unique accessories for stage performers. After a recent performance of ‘Evanston Salt Costs Climbing,’ performer Cole Escola wore a black cap that read, ‘A New Play by Cole Escola.’ Actor George Clooney has been spotted signing playbills at the stage door in a white Bronx Zoo cap, amusing fans with the idea that he might be a ‘Dinosaur Safari’ enthusiast.

The New York City Ballet‘s logo cap has become a favorite among stars like Timothée Chalamet, Dakota Johnson, and Greta Lee. Johnson’s choice reflects her role in the film ‘Suspiria,’ while Chalamet combines his cap with an NFL jacket, nodding to his long-standing support for arts education and artist housing.

As summer approaches, celebrities could inspire fans to incorporate novelty baseball caps into their wardrobes. Whether it’s promoting a favorite film, musician, or cause, these hats give stars a platform to advocate for their interests.
