Ian Somerhalder is best recognized for his sizzling portrayal of Damon Salvatore on The Vampire Diaries TV series, and his diligent activism and environmental work with ISF. However, he’s also renowned for something else…HATS! The TVD actor is not shy when it comes to accessorizing and his collection of fierce hair toppers is admirable to say the least. And considering that the Kentucky Derby — aka Stylish Hats Central — is currently taking place, we thought it’d be helpful to take a look at some of Ian’s best hat moments for some Derby style inspiration.
