What is a baseball cap if not free ad space on your forehead? (And sun protection, I suppose.) Hats are basically a billboard to broadcast our personal tastes, but for celebrities, they’re an endorsement.
Some celebrities opt to keep their hats relatively free of branded content. The New York Yankees logo is pretty par for the course among celebrities, with Kendall Jenner, Bad Bunny, and Rihanna all rocking it at some point. But others prefer to use their headwear to offer a glimpse into their lives—the interests and tastes they may not otherwise share.
A proud collector of novelty baseball caps, Jennifer Lawrence regularly uses her hats to share her interests, both highbrow and populist. Her current favorite is a black cap with “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 1” embroidered in red, but she’s also quite fond of a navy Shania Twain hat with yellow text, and a pink cap that shouts out Wong Kar-wai’s In the Mood for Love.
Lawrence isn’t the only novelty cap affocionado. For the thespians among us, they serve as a great stage door accessory. Following a performance of Evanston Salt Costs Climbing in March, Kaia Gerber paid homage to Cole Escola in a black cap that read “A New Play by Cole Escola.” George Clooney, who is currently in a run of Good Night, and Good Luck, signed playbills at the stage door wearing a white Bronx Zoo cap. (I feel like he’s a Dinousar Safari guy. Goerge, if you’re reading this, can you please confirm?)
