We all know who got really lucky last night: Pharrell Williams's hat. The accessory of the moment continued its streak of party hopping when it attended Bionic Yarn's Raw For the Oceans launch event.
This of course this wasn't its biggest night out. That honor goes to Grammys weekend. Pharrell may have taken home four statues that night, but his Vivienne Westwood design [1] — which has been a part of Pharrell's wardrobe since 2009 — truly stole the show. No headgear has had such a thrilling evening of hobnobbing and shoulder rubbing since Princess Beatrice's royal fascinator [2]. In the same spirit as that bowed topper, Pharrell's hat launched a thousand memes. And when you have your best night ever, you want to commemorate it in photos, right? Here, a scrapbook diary of the hat's many highlights, in its own words (or at least what we'd imagine them to be . . . ).
