Lady Gaga in a Philip Treacy Lobster Hat Way back in early 2010, Mother Monster went for a stroll in London wearing a diamond-encrusted lobster hat by Philip Treacy perched atop her head en route to dinner at Mr. Chow. It was a direct reference to a pink hat the milliner one designed for Grace Jones – and sparked a large number of Halloween costumes for years to come. Photo: Splash News

Brigitte Helm’s Yoshiwara Costume From Metropolis For the first feature-length sci-fi film in history, Fritz Lang did well to cast Brigitte Helm in the adaptation of his wife Thea Von Harbou's novel turned silent movie, Metropolis. But even better to outfit her in a glorious, sparkling, alien cap that looks like water beads on a flower. The hat makes her widow’s peak its central focus and the hair pouf its afterthought. It’s very sinister, and Art Deco. Photo: Corbis

Elsa Schiaparelli's Shoe Hat Italian fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli designed her famous “shoe hat” for her fall 1937 collection, at the behest of her friend Salvador Dalí, who got the idea from a photograph that his wife, Gala, took of him with one of her high-heeled shoes balanced on his head. The hat was the epitome of surrealist fashion and worn by Schiaparelli herself, as well as Gala Dalí and Daisy Fellowes, the editor of French Harper’s Bazaar and a devoted client of Schiaparelli’s. In 2012, the hat was prominently displayed at the entrance of the Met's Costume Institute exhibit, "Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations."

Pope Benedict XVI in a Sombrero in Mexico On March 25, 2012, Pope Benedict XVI rode his “popemobile” to lead an open mass at the Parque del Bicentenario in Silao, Mexico, where he was gifted with an enormous black-and-silver sombrero. His right-hand man, Archbishop Georg Gänswein, helped place the sombrero atop the pope's head as he waved to a smitten public. Photo: RONALDO SCHEMIDT/AFP/Getty Images

Grace Jones's Many Hats Supermodel Grace Jones is the reigning queen of fierce and bold – so naturally, she's been drawn to the light of Philip Treacy's fantasical creations. Long before Lady Gaga walked the streets in a bejeweled crustacean fascinator, Jones pulled off everything from a mohawk-shaped headpiece to a hot pink fascinator with antennae, and from a crystal bowler hat to a transluscent orange hat – all while looking like the coolest alien on earth.

The Duke of Urbino’s Red Hat The famous portrait by Piero della Francesca, titled Count Federico da Montefeltro, features a profile of Federico da Montefeltro, the Lord of Urbino, dressed in red garb and a flat-topped red hat. While the shape and color of the hat are enticing, the speculated backstory as to why the count is only revealing his left side is more grisly. After losing his right eye during a jousting tournament, he was apparently left with a massive scar, which he found creative ways to hide for the rest of his life. The bridge of his nose was also injured during the same tournament, so the count asked surgeons to remove it, which is visible in the portrait. Photo: UniversalImagesGroup/Getty Images

Energy Dome Worn by Devo Immortalized on the cover of Devo's third album, Freedom of Choice, these nutty hats were inspired by both the Bauhaus movement and Aztec temples. Band members Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald V. Casale designed them "according to ancient ziggurat mound proportions used in votive worship. Like the mounds, it collects energy and recirculates it.” The hat later helped make them into rock stars. Photo: Ed Perlstein/Getty Images

LL Cool J's Kangol Hats Kangol hats made their debut in the twenties, the invention of a Jewish-Polish refugee, and became the official supplier to the armed forces during World War II. But it wasn’t until hip-hop artist LL Cool J adopted the bucket-hat style in the eighties that the hat so drastically changed its meaning. LL appeared on the back cover of his 1983 album, Radio, in a Kangol – and practically never took it off again. As Complex magazine once put it: “The bucket became so inseparable from LL that rumors spread that something was wrong with his head.” Photo: Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images

Suleiman the Magnificent’s Turban Suleiman the Magnificent, the longest-reigning sultan of the Ottoman Empire, was known for his unusually large turban. During his rule from 1520 to 1566, he became known as the "Lawgiver," and even married a commoner. He was always depicted in art with a large turban on his head.

The Sorting Hat in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone Spouting poems and working as a helpful Myers-Briggs personality test, this hat (from the 2001 film) functions as a physical symbol of the relationship between personality and fate. It’s also just a slouchy, flapping, and dirty-looking rutabaga of a headdress.

Ottoman Janissary Kece or Ketche Hat Called the "Bork," this long and wide felt hat that stood at roughly 40 centimeters tall was worn by Ottoman janissaries who were seen as protectors of the throne. The best part: They had a pocket for a wooden spoon or plume in the front. The spoon, which all of the jannissaries wore, symbolized a sense of comradeship among the them as they lived and died together. Photo: Philip de Bay/Corbis

Aretha Franklin’s 2009 Inauguration Hat Aretha Franklin sang at Obama’s first inauguration in a gray coat, gray gloves, and a small gray cap with a gargantuan, bejeweled bow on it designed by Mr. Song Millinery. Thus, a meme was born, with this chapeau placed on everyone from Spock to George Bush to Elvis Presley. Photo: Alex Wong/Getty Images

The Yellow Emperor in Mian Guan Headdress, circa 2500 B.C. The term guan refers to a headdress worn by men of power and official business. Guan were designed to be worn over top knots of hair, and different functions called for different guan. The Mian guan was a royal headdress used to conduct sacrifices to heaven. Twelve strands of jade beads hung in front and back of the emperor’s hat. The strands hung in the following color order: white for metal, yellow for earth, green for wood, red for fire, and black for water.

Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice in Philip Treacy Fascinators The real stars of Prince William’s wedding to Kate Middleton were the fascinators on the guests. But the two that made the most impact belonged to Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, designed, of course, by Philip Treacy. The press ridiculed the creations, but Treacy defiantly claimed, "I thought they looked gorgeous and beautiful. But no one is crying if anyone didn’t.” Princess Beatrice auctioned off her fascinator on eBay after the wedding and raised $131,648 for UNICEF and Children in Crisis.

Carmen Miranda in The Gang’s All Here Miranda’s campy film was initially barred in her native Portugal, where censors deemed her character’s absurdist headpieces sexually suggestive. For one of the film’s songs, "The Lady in the Tutti Frutti Hat,” Miranda wore fruit on her head while bikini-clad chorus girls danced behind her holding bananas. U.S. regulators decreed that the bananas must be held at the waist, not too close to the hips. Photo: 20th Century Fox/Everett Collection

Oddjob’s Hat in Goldfinger This is the little bowler hat that could kill people. In Goldfinger (1964), Oddjob’s cap was weaponized with a chakram (a circular Indian throwing weapon) added to the brim. However, when MythBusters tested whether or not this cap could actually function as a weapon, it didn’t hold its shape. Photo: Sion Touhig/Corbis

Viking Helmet Though Vikings did in fact use helmets in battle, the cliché version with horns was likely not used for this purpose, but rather by priests for religious ceremonies. During the Romantic period (late 1700s to mid-1800s), artists began depicting Germanic and Celtic history and mythology in their work with little factual basis. Later, in the twentieth century, the stereotype would once again be misinterpreted by football teams and frat boys across America. Photo: Miguel Vidal/Corbis

King Louis XIV in the Costume of the Sun King in the Ballet La Nuit Considered a founder of classical ballet, Italian-born composer and choreographer Jean-Baptiste Lully became a member of 13-year-old Louis XIV’s court in 1652. Lully often cast the monarch in his performances, and inadvertently coined Louis XIV’s nickname, “The Sun King,” when he dressed the ruler in a sun costume for his role in the twelve-hour Ballet de la Nuit. A drawing from 1653 depicts the king in his famous headpiece, which radiated golden rays. Photo: Apic/Getty Images

Macaroni Tricorner Hat In eighteenth-century England, a man who had picked up fanciful tastes from his travels to Italy or France was called a “macaroni,” and often mocked for his affectations. Named after the actual noodle, a “macaroni” was often satirized in comic illustrations, which depicted a man with a towering wig and tiny tricorner hat. The caricatures were exaggerated, but small hats and powdered wigs were still popular among wealthy, fashion-forward men at the time. Photo: MIGUEL MEDINA/AFP/Getty Images

Coco Chanel’s Signature Hat Gabrielle Chanel couldn't help but modernize everything she touched. In addition to giving us the LBD, liberated knits, and choice quotes about chicness, she began her career as a milliner in 1910. She went on to make many delightful, modern hats, which she often modeled herself. The one in this photo remains one of her most memorable. Photo: Evening Standard/Getty Images

Margiela Hoods From Couture Runways Part mask, part headpiece, Maison Martin Margiela’s beaded face masks debuted on the house’s couture runway last July, and covered the top of the head and the face in a variety of crystals and beads, which apparently took eight hours to make. The mesh is made of a thin gauze that allows models to easily see through it. As the Cut’s Lynn Yaeger wrote at the time: “I hate this, as I think it represents an attempt to dehumanize and silence women, though it is a fetish the house has promulgated for years.” Apparently, she could never have guessed that Kanye would eventually wear one as well.

Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady, The Merry Widow, and Belle Epoque In the 1964 film version of My Fair Lady, Audrey Hepburn stunned as Cockney flower girl turned "lady" Eliza Doolittle when she appeared at the Ascot Racecourse in an impeccable outfit covered in lace, ribbons, and frills with an enormous matching feathered hat designed by none other than Sir Cecil Beaton. The hat's very magnificence managed to awe those around her and properly camouflage Doolittle among the ranks of high society — until she relapsed into her Cockney accent while getting overeager at the horse race.

Over the years, the Timberlake hat has transformed its look and feel — from the early Sherlock Holmes–like cap of his ’N Sync years (at left) to an unstructured (mohair) bucket hat to, more recently, an onslaught of black porkpies — accessorized, of course, with a jaunty red feather.

The Marlboro Man's Cowboy Hat Born of an advertiser’s brain in the early fifties, the macho Marlboro man, in his camel-colored cowboy hat, became the symbol of tobacco-fueled rugged individualism for a generation of Americans. The man in the photos changed, but his hat remained the same, decade after decade. The look was co-opted well by American president Ronald Reagan, and later, less convincingly, by George W. Bush. The advertising icon became so popular, he was even reimagined in films and art — including Richard Prince’s early eighties painting, “Untitled (Cowboys),” which featured re-photographed magazine ads of the Marlboro Man.

Napoleon’s Bicorne Napoleon popularized the bicorne (a two-cornered hat) as emperor and military commander of France. A descendent of the tricorne, which was used by the British army, the bicorne was worn by high-ranking European military personnel in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Allegedly to distinguish himself from other officers on the battlefield, Napoleon wore his cocked hats with the brims aligned to his shoulders instead of pointed to the front and back of his head.

The Samurai Kabuto Formally called the kabuto, this traditional Japanese helmet protected the heads of ancient warriors since the fifth century. While they were originally part of a warrior’s protective suit of armor, over time, these custom-made pieces evolved to serve as talismans that displayed the wearer’s unique character, personality, and artistry. If the helmet looks unusually threatening or familiar, it probably has to do with the fact that the kabuto influenced the design of Darth Vader's glossy black helmet.

Queen Elizabeth’s Signature Hats Since her ascension to the throne at age 25, Queen Elizabeth II has worn over 5,000 different kinds of headwear — floral caps, turbans, cloches, fur Cossack hats — until she finally found her signature hat, variations of which she's been wearing for the past few years. They tend to have an asymmetrical top, short brim, and a jaunty flourish, like lace, feathers, or a giant flower. Also, as she's the queen: The hats always match her outfits perfectly.
