Since 1941, Parade has published Ernest Hemingway, Carl Sagan, James Thurber, Herman Wouk, Norman Mailer, John Cheever and Alex Haley, along with interviews with virtually every major star, political leader and president. As we take this look back, we’ve selected a few of our favorite hatted ladies (and gentlemen) who’ve graced Parade’s covers. Some tout or poke fun at spring fashions and others tell the stories of fashion-forward women who happen to be wearing stylish hats.
