black top hat can be a fashion statement, yes. The odd clipped, sparse
black beard along with the extra tall stovepipe hat and a dark black suit
are a memorable combination.

Whatever you wear and however you do your hair is a statement.
(As for the event, top hats - not of stove pipe length though - are regular outfit for equestrian dressage contests:
