In the 21st century, the fedora has made a reappearance in the fashion world along with other types of classic hats such as the porkpie and the homburg. In addition, the fedora has appeared in recent portrayals of movies and television shows that are set in the past, such as ''[[Mad Men]]'' (2007–15), ''[[Shutter Island (film)|Shutter Island]]'' (2010), and ''[[Boardwalk Empire]]'' (2010–14). [[Michael Jackson]] also frequently wore a fedora while performing on stage.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/gallery/gq-style-news-fedora-hat-hats-guide-films-catwalk-tv|title=The best fedoras from film and TV history|last=Millar|first=Jamie|website=British GQ|date=5 August 2015|access-date=April 6, 2019}}</ref>

By the early 21st century, the fedora had become a symbol of [[hipster (contemporary subculture)|hipster]]s.<ref name="rutenberg20120805">{{cite news | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/05/fashion/montauk-feels-the-effects-of-too-many-hipsters.html | title=Montauk's Hipster Fatigue | work=The New York Times | date=August 5, 2012 | access-date=November 19, 2015 | author=Rutenberg, Jim | pages=ST1}}</ref> ''[[Vice (magazine)|Vice]]'' has referred to the early 2000s as a "fedora [[renaissance]]", with celebrities like [[Johnny Depp]] and [[Pete Doherty|Peter Doherty]] wearing the hat.

=== In film noir ===

The fedora was worn by film actors such as [[Edward G. Robinson]], [[George Raft]] and [[Humphrey Bogart]].<ref>{{cite book|editor1-last=Bennington|editor1-first=J.

It was worn by Bogart as Sam Spade in ''[[The Maltese Falcon (1941 film)|The Maltese Falcon]]'' (1941) and Philip Marlowe in ''[[The Big Sleep (1946 film)|The Big Sleep]]'' (1946). Peter Eliopoulos wrote in ''The 1930s: The Reality and the Promise'': "The popular Bogart-styled fedora was worn slightly cocked, it was pulled down just above the eye line, so that the wearer peeked beneath the brim and through the cigarette smoke that gathered momentarily before curling itself around the top of the hat."<ref>Eliopoulos, ''The 1930s: The Reality and the Promise'', p.186</ref>

[[Billy Wilder]] wrote and directed the film ''[[Fedora (1978 film)|Fedora]]'' (1978), which takes its title from the female lead character played by [[Marthe Keller]]. In addition, fedoras are a strong theme throughout the picture. Most of Wilder's films feature fedoras prominently in promotional materials as well as in the finished films.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Some Like it Wilder|last=Phillips|first=Gene D.|publisher=The University Press of Kentucky|year=2010|location=Kentucky}}</ref>

=== Gangsters and jazz ===
[[File:Al Capone.jpg|thumb|Mugshot of [[Al Capone]] by the [[Bureau of Investigation]] in 1929]]
Fedoras were much associated with [[gangster]]s during [[Prohibition in the United States|Prohibition]] era in the United States, a connection coinciding with the height of the hat's popularity between the 1920s and the early 1950s.<ref name="History of Hats" /><ref name="Escapist" /> In the second half of the 1950s, the fedora fell out of favor in a shift towards more informal clothing styles.<ref name="History of Hats" /><ref name="Escapist" /> In addition, well-known gangsters such as [[Al Capone]], [[Charles Luciano]], and [[Bugsy Siegel|Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel]] used the fedora to create a "tough guy" image.{{citation needed|date=August 2022}}

Fedoras were an important accessory to the [[zoot suit]] ensemble which emerged onto the American fashion scene during the 1940s. Zoot suits were mainly associated with Mexican and African Americans and were largely worn in segregated minority communities. As a result, this style soon spread to local jazz musicians who adopted this look and brought it to their audiences.

In the [[The Blues Brothers (film)|movie of the same name]], the Blues Brothers (who are [[blues]] musicians rather than jazzmen) wear black scant-brim fedoras as part of their black suit "uniform".

The association of the fedora with the zoot suit and gangster culture has caused the general public to view it according to this limited connotation.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title=A Stylish History of Jazz|last=McClendon|first=Alphonso D.|publisher=Bloomsbury Academic|year=2015|location=London|pages=15–42}}</ref>

=== Michael Jackson ===
American singer-songwriter [[Michael Jackson]] wore fedoras during his iconic performances including [[Billie Jean]], "[[Smooth Criminal]]",<ref>{{Cite web |title=Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal (Official Video) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_D3VFfhvs4 |access-date=2025-01-26 |website=www.youtube.com| date=19 November 2010 }}</ref> "[[Dangerous (Michael Jackson song)|Dangerous]]" and "[[You Rock My World]]". Moreover, he wore fedoras during his public appearances for [[fashion]] [[aesthetics]] and covering of his [[Health and appearance of Michael Jackson|scalded head]] as a result of combined effects of [[lupus]] and the [[Health and appearance of Michael Jackson#Physical health|Pepsi incident in 1984]]. The fedora quickly became his style in the global outreach and people still attribute the hat to him worldwide.
