Crowns: A Brief History of Church Hats

The Queen of Soul paid tribute to her gospel roots by donning a gray wool chapeau accented with Swarovski Crystals by Detroit-based designer Luke Song for President Obama's Inauguration. Most people don't have $500 to shell out for Franklin's dazzling headpiece however, so Mr. Song Millinery is producing a look-alike line of hats that retail for $179.
