Yes, Hatshepsut, the fifth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt, is often depicted wearing the double crown, known as the Pschent, which symbolized the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt. This crown was typically associated with kingship and authority. Hatshepsut adopted male attributes and regalia, including the double crown, to assert her power and legitimacy as a female pharaoh. Her imagery often blends traditionally male royal symbols with her feminine identity.
