Milliner Stephen Jones has revealed he would like to give some fashion advice to Michelle Obama.
The legendary hat maker told Love magazine recently, "I would love to have a word with Michelle Obama, because she didn’t wear a hat for President Obama’s inauguration. I think there a few occasions when one really should stand on ceremony."
Well, Aretha Franklin certainly knew how to stand out from the crowd with her inauguration day hat, so what did Stephen have to say about that?
"We tried to get it for the exhibition and she said no, but she sent me the most wonderful letter that she had also sent to a museum in Washington.
"It said that she was hugely flattered to be asked, but that to sing as an African American woman at the inauguration of a black president was the proudest moment of her career, and that she wants to be able to look at that hat every day for the rest of her life and remember," he added.
