The spring 2024 Marni show in Paris this morning was no place for minimalism. The VIP guests—including Usher, Quavo, and Issa Rae—all embraced Marni’s bold, cartoony vibe. But no one did this better than the legendary singer Erykah Badu, who stole the show in one of her signature big hats. Only, this hat was not big—it was huge. Of Seussian proportions.

Badu is no stranger to a statement chapeau, of course. She wore a sky-high style to the Bottega Veneta show in Milan last week. But this latest one was a real scene-stealer, as it was covered in wool and large polka-dots. The exaggerated top hat silhouette was impossible to miss in the front row. Somehow, she totally pulled it off though, mainly because she leaned into maximalism with her bright-yellow checked suit to go with it. There were a lot of other eye-catching looks at the show, but that bold accessory is the real star.
