VietNamNet Bridge – Supermodel Kate Moss and late movie star Marylin Monroe took impressive pictures with Vietnamese non la (leaf hat).

Vietnamese non la has the most original geometric image--as it forms a perfect right circular cone which tapers completely smoothly from the base to the apex. Non la are notable for their romantic and timelessly crafted adornments. Special conical hats in Vietnam contain colorful hand-stitch depictions or words while the Hue varieties are famous for their “non bait ho” (literally: poem conical hats). These contain random poetic verses and Chinese scripts which can be revealed when the hat is directed above one's head in the sunlight.

Marylin Monroe wore a Vietnamese non la on a picture taken on November 24, 1960.
