Nope. John and Jackie Kennedy killed the hat. He went to his inauguration bareheaded and she seldom wore hats. The two were both giant fashion icons in their time.

In the very first James Bond movie, Bond is wearing a hat when he does the spin and shoot at the gun barrel. In every movie afterwards he's bareheaded.

Kennedy wore a top hat to his inauguration. And I feel like any impression of Jackie features the pill box hat.

And Bond is British, what would he care about fashion trends on this side of the Atlantic?

The fact that there's very little clearance for a proper hat inside of a car (as opposed to the higher ceiling in trains and buses) played a much larger role in killing the hat.

Cars were around throughout the 1940s and 1950s. Hats started disappearing in the 1960s.

Yeah all those great Britain made bond films. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The character is British but those movies are completely American

Stick to fish n chips, and destroying other cultures, mate.

James Bond movies only ever had one US director, Cary Joji Fukunaga, and one other non-US director who is New Zealander, Lee Tamahori. It is produced by Eon, a British film production

James bond is as American as apple pie, which is to say not at all
