Hats, please!

I need help coming up with famous hats/headwear in popular culture...

I'm doing a little segment for work (tv animation) where my character does a rapid series of "hat changes". I thought it would be fun to make them rotate through some famous hats/headwear (ex: Heisenberg's pork pie hat) Can also be headbands, party hats, etc. Serious, random, outlandish, silly--any suggestions are welcome!
