Red hat & bling bling
Holy Father to thee
we sing

Saturno, Fedora’s Cousin

While Popes Leo XII, John XXIII, John XIII, and John Paul II have all 

worn this style of wide-brimmed hat—named for Saturn’s rings, popular 

in summer, and often constructed from beaver hair or straw—

no one looked quite as fly in the style as Benedict XVI. 

Here he is peacocking during a St. Peter’s Square audience.
