"There&amp;#x27;s a quirky hat renaissance going on out there on the runways, dolls--see the just-walked spring 2013 collections of Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen, and Phillip Treacy--but if you&amp;#x27;re wondering how the heck to wear one, let the ever-adorable Elle Fanning show you the way. She was on the red carpet last night at the Chanel Bijoux De Diamant 80th Anniversary, working the heck out of a porkpie hat. There are a few easy reasons why this look screams &amp;quot;cute&amp;quot; and not &amp;quot;granny,&amp;quot; and here they are: 1. Add a touch of something feminine: A hat like this is typically pretty masculine (it&amp;#x27;s Pete Doherty&amp;#x27;s signature, after all), but thanks to some sparkle trim and a chic, loose side braid, it was an unexpectedly girly feel. 2. Frame your face: Here&amp;#x27;s where Elle scores bonus points for styling--she chose a sweet Peter Pan collar to balance out the hat. Without the collar, your eye would go instantly upward and keep thinking, &amp;quot;that girl has a quirky hat on!&amp;quot;, but with another face-framing element for balance, it just seems like one part of a sophisticated equation. 3. Have FUN! Please dolls, we beg you: Don&amp;#x27;t take yourself too seriously in a hat like this. It&amp;#x27;s a playful accessory, and your attitude should convey that, just like this sunny-as-all-get-out smile does on Elle. What do you think of her latest red carpet moment?
