Pharrell Wears Native American Headdress In Elle Cover, As He Receives A Backlash

Someone over at the Elle UK magazine thought it would be a good idea for Pharrell Williams to trade in his signature Vivienne Westwood buffalo hat for a Native American headdress on their latest July 2014 cover, and it has caused an uproar among the Native American community. After Elle released the photos on their site with the caption, “We persuaded ELLE Style Award winner Pharrell to trade his Vivienne
Westwood mountie hat for a native American feather headdress in his best ever shoot,” critics immediately hopped on social media, expressing their disbelief that Elle would use the headdress as a fashion statement.
Pharrell has since apologized in a statement that read:
“I respect and honor every kind of race, background and culture. I am genuinely sorry.”
Maybe Elle UK thought Pharrell could get a pass for wearing the headdress since he once stated that he was of Egyptian and Native American heritage in O Magazine recently.
