Diane Keaton will be remembered for her legendary performances on film across multiple genres, from her dramatic turns in The Godfathermovies and The Family Stone to her comedic roles in Annie Hall and The First Wives Club. More than an actress, Keaton was also a style icon whose signature hats, gloves, and menswear-inspired suits became as much a statement as they were her uniform.
Keaton’s Father of the Bride co-star Kimberly Williams-Paisley is keeping the actress’ memory alive by purchasing a few of Keaton’s signature accessories at auction, including the film legend’s infamous “NO MORE WAR” hat. Williams-Paisley shared the news, along with comparison photos of herself wearing Keaton’s pieces, in hopes of keeping Keaton’s memory and message alive.
In a post shared to her own social media Friday, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, who played Keaton’s daughter Annie in the Father of the Bride movies, shared photos of herself wearing Keaton’s infamous hat, which carries a message near and dear to Keaton’s heart.
Williams-Paisley wrote:
“Recently I bought this hat and gloves from the Diane Keaton auction. I’m so happy to have some of her iconic style with me. While my friends and I were carefully unpacking these items and getting ready to shoot this, a gorgeous, gigantic bald eagle landed in a nearby tree, stayed for a moment and then flew off (see video). THIS IS SO RARE!! It definitely felt like Diane’s energy was around us! The hat says, “NO MORE WAR,” and she’d added a skull and crossbones. So, I’m passing along her message. 👑✌🏻❤️🕊️ (this is part one of two☺️)”
Diane Keaton’s ‘No More War’ Hat
The hat is unmistakably Diane Keaton. The actress was able to elevate fashion into a statement, whether it was a literal statement like “NO MORE WAR” or her willingness to use style to express herself.
Diane Keaton was famous for her style, often wearing dark, menswear-inspired suits, turtlenecks, gloves, and hats. Before her death in October 2025, Keaton had amassed a collection of more than 40 hats, making them one of the accessories most associated with her. From her Annie Hall style to her real-life wardrobe, hats and Diane Keaton went hand in hand.
That makes Williams-Paisley’s purchase of one of Diane Keaton’s most famous hats even more important. This wasn’t just a slice of Hollywood memorabilia; this hat was personalized by Keaton herself.
Fans Were Emotional Seeing Diane Keaton’s Hat Again

“This gave me chills,” wrote one emotional fan. Another added, “This touched my heart so much.”
Keaton and Williams-Paisley’s Father of the Bride co-star George Newbern also responded, writing, “I love this Kim. I have been thinking about Diane so much lately.”
Diane Keaton’s Style Was About More Than Clothes
Long before personal style became a social media buzzword, Diane Keaton understood how powerful it could be to develop a look that belonged entirely to you.
Keaton’s menswear-inspired suits, gloves, and hats became synonymous with her, but they also made a statement with every wearing.
Diane Keaton challenged traditional gender norms and was a reminder that personal style is about being comfortable enough with yourself to dress for yourself.
Her signature style is most associated with the film Annie Hall, but Ralph Lauren, who dressed Keaton for the film, credited Keaton’s own style as the inspiration for the character’s look. That style will forever be associated with Diane Keaton, a trailblazing legend who used fashion and style to define who she was.
Fittingly, one of her most personal pieces is now being celebrated and reworn by the actress who portrayed her daughter on film and became a friend in real life.
It’s almost as though Keaton chose the hat’s next owner herself.
