Pharrell Williams Grammy Hat Up For Auction With Bids Starting At $10k

Pharrell Williams is giving Arby's the opportunity to get their hat back.
The 40-year-old singer left the social media world abuzz when he stepped out at this year's Grammy Awards rocking a Vivienne Westwood mountain style hat and now the prized possession is up for auction.

"I'm auctioning off my hat from the Grammys to benefit From One Hand to AnOTHER," he wrote on Twitter Thursday.

Williams' hat became so popular it got its own Twitter account, which has since reached up to almost 20,000 followers.

"Hey @Arbys, you want my hat? Now's your chance," he joked as the fast food chain tweeted at him the night of the awards asking for their signature look back.
Online users not only compared the headwear to Arby's restaurant logo but also to Smokey the Bear's hat, Woody's hat from "Toy Story" and the Sorting Hat from "Harry Potter."
As of Friday morning, the designer piece has a current bid of $10,500 on eBay and will be up for grabs for the next nine days.

"Now is your chance to own a piece of pop culture history! Bid on Pharrell Williams' Vivienne Westwood "Mountain" hat that was one of the biggest hits of the 2014 GRAMMY Awards," the post reads on the popular bidding site.
"All proceeds benefit From One Hand to Another whose mission is to help change the world one kid at a time by giving them the tools and resources to meet their unique potential and empower them to nurture curiosity by learning through new technologies, arts, media and motivation."
