What exactly happened here? Is that a hat or a lacey bucket? I know the cloche was big in the twenties, but was there a top-hat version of the cloche that looked like that? A junior high school history class project? Maybe?
It is amazing how people miss the obvious when they look at historic dress and how current styles filter the impression of past ones. The obvious thing they got wrong here was the waist -- the waist was low down during the period they are supposed to be recreating. The natural and the high waist came back in the early 30s. So if that is what they were aiming for, the cloche hat is wrong. The whole thing is wrong, actually.
A heckler is a person who shouts an uninvited comment.
The audience too usually finds the interruption an unwanted distraction; however they may sometimes find the interjection amusing or apposite.
