WWB: Tami Roman, Monica Brown Nearly Rock the Exact Same Keith and James Hat

Tami Roman and Monica have the same stylish taste, apparently.

The two stars of separate VH1 reality shows sported the same Keith And James hat at different locations. The women’s fedora, which retails for $525, is one of several hats manufactured in the USA by North Carolina native and founder James Keith’s company.

Monica was pictured in the accessory first. She wore the hat in March in golden honey color with a khaki trench coat, white and blue striped button-down shirt and blue jeans. She rocked thick, voluminous false lashes, a full set of brows and a neutral pale pink lipstick for her makeup.

“Monica…… Chapter 38 …….. Slim Brim……” the singer partially captioned the post made on her official Instagram page.

Fans adored the look from the “T.I. & Tiny: Friends and Family Hustle” star.

“This hat n jacket smokkkin..love it.”

“that’s it… need to know @monicabrown stylist/stylists because this is 🔥‼️ Your style and grace is priceless ❤️”

“@edavis_17 I need one too ! We both can kill this brim ! 🔥🔥🔥,” one commenter told a fellow Instagram user.

Months later in July, Roman wore a white Keith and James fedora when she hosted “Femme It Forward” on July 19 in Los Angeles. It was part of a multi-format tour of all-female concerts and events that featured panel discussions, performances and comedy shows that will next stop in Philadelphia next month.

“Had a blast tonight hosting #FemmeItForward thank you @heatherlowery #SOLDOUT baby!!!!” Roman captioned a photo of herself onstage during the show Sunday night.

The star paired the hat with a $3,900 Gucci romper with the help of stylist Udi. The look was finished off with a pair of pointed-toe white pumps. Accenting the red underside of the hat was a bold red lip Roman elected to put on for the hosting gig.

Fans ate up the “Basketball Wives” star’s outfit.

“Yaaasss TT👑 & u look bomb😍”

“Yassssss TAMI !!!”

“What about the hat ?? I think it’s the same one Young Joc wore on LHHATL!! LOVE! 🔥🔥🔥”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
