I’m willing to bet Aretha Franklin is actually more tired of seeing and hearing about her now-famous Inauguration hat than we are. After all, homegirl was really just trying to keep her head warm in a stylish manner. But apparently it’s following her everywhere she goes – even her birthday!

That’s right, the singer celebrated her 67th birthday with a cake made out of – you guessed it – that damn Luke Song bow hat. I wonder when she’s finally going to say, “ENOUGH!”

Are you as tired of seeing her hat as I am? Either way, happy birthday, Aretha!

Here‘s what Aretha herself has to say about the whole craze.

In fact, the hat has gotten so popular, even the SMITHSONIAN wants it!

For 2024’s iteration of MadameNoire and HelloBeautiful’s annual series Women to Know, we knew we wanted to celebrate the people who help make the joys of film and television possible. To create art is to create magic. This year, we spotlight Hollywood Executive’s changing the face of cinema.
