The singer Ellie Goulding is best known for her electro-pop hits like Love Me Like You Do, Burn, Lights, and I Need Your Love, and not necessarily well-known for her outlandish style.
She showed up at the Halftime show for the Dallas Cowboys’ Thanksgiving show ready to change that.
Ellie showed up ready to slay with a hat that many said reminded them of a lampshade.
It was a cowboy hat with a fringe. A dramatic fringe. A particularly lampshade-y kind of fringe, which wasn’t helped by how low Ellie was wearing it over her face.
People on Twitter had a lot to say about it.
“Why is Ellie Goulding wearing my grandmother’s chandelier on her head?” one Twitter user wondered , which is exactly what I was thinking.
There were a lot of pretty appropriate visuals going around.
While some people thought she looked like Sia, others thought her look was more inspired by Patrick Starr.
Honestly? Both work.
But we can’t fault Ellie for having a passion for fashion.
People had a pretty good idea about why she dressed the way she did. Ellie is British, and as one Twitter user said , “Ellie Goulding is dressed exactly how a British person thinks a Cowboy looks like.”
