Overview
- Williams-Paisley confirmed on Friday, Aug. 7 that she bought the late actress’s hat and gloves at the Diane Keaton estate auction and shared an Instagram carousel showing herself wearing the items.
- She included a short video of a bald eagle that landed nearby while unpacking, writing that the sighting felt like Diane Keaton’s energy was present during the tribute.
- The black bowler hat features the words 'NO MORE WAR' and a skull-and-crossbones detail, which Williams-Paisley said she is 'passing along' as part of Keaton’s message.
- The purchase follows a long personal and professional bond: the actresses co-starred in Father of the Bride (1991) and its 1995 sequel, and Williams-Paisley has described Keaton as a mentor and mother figure.
- Keaton died in October 2025 and her wardrobe was offered at auction in June; Williams-Paisley’s public tribute keeps Keaton’s signature menswear-influenced style and political voice visible to fans and peers.
