Fabulous Hats in Art That I Must Have

Ladies in art history have some fabulous hats. And I must have them all.

Nefertiti Bust
Nefertiti Bust, Thutmose, 1345 BCE

Do not even attempt to tell me it’s out of style. It’s exquisite.

Do I know how this stays on? No. Do I still want it? Yes, of course.

Loose and whimsical. Just perfect for those en plein air summer days.

Marie Antoinette, Elisabeth Vigée Lebrun

This hat comes with a side of alienation and revolution. Is it worth it? Darling, just look at it.

Julia, Ramon Casas

I will swirl my wine to perfection in this get-up.

Yes. Put it in the pile. Though I must perfect that impeccable grimace before I am worthy.

Sarah Siddons, Gainsborough

Fabulous actress, check. Fabulous hat, double check.

Technically more of an accessory, but it’s fabulous. I will also have the monkey and the pissed-off hovering black cat.

Ah, I think this is the one. But you know she doesn’t make eye contact with the servers.
