John Travolta brought out his trusty beret again, this time in a different color. The actor and Hollywood icon hosted a tribute event in Los Angeles over the weekend, wearing a maroon beret paired with a leather jacket.
In photos shared over the weekend, Travolta was photographed at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, where he served as host to The Official Ramones 50th Anniversary Tribute. The images show Travolta with a microphone during his speech, wearing a black Ramones shirt, black jeans, and a leather jacket. Completing the look were black sunglasses and a maroon beret.
Travolta was joined by Linda Ramone, the widow of Johnny Ramone, the guitarist and one of the band’s founding members.
His attendance at the event was teased in a press release, with Travolta revealing that he was a big fan of the band and had seen one of their tributes some years ago.
“Two years ago, I had the pleasure of experiencing the Hollywood Forever Johnny Ramone Tribute for the first time,” said Travolta. “It was a blast, and I want to return again for the Ramones tribute!”

Earlier this year, John Travolta made headlines at the Cannes Film Festival, where he premiered his feature debut, “Propeller One-Way Night Coach.” He was accompanied by his daughter, Ella Bleu.
The two wore matching looks, with Ella wearing a black gown and Travolta wearing a three-piece suit with a white button-up and matching tie. Tying the whole look together was a cream colored beret, which sparked instant conversation.

“The old-school directors wore berets and glasses. And I thought, that’s what I’m doing,” he said in an interview with CNN.
“I’ve been around for over 50 years doing movies, but I can’t tell, when I look back, the difference between the events,” he continued. “And I said, ‘I’m a director this time. You’re an actor; play the part of a director. Look like an old-school director.'”
It’s unknown if Travolta will continue to pursue more projects to direct. In the meantime, he’s scheduled to appear in several films that are in post-production, including “Black Tides,” “That’s Amore!” and “November 1963.”
