Get Your Sparkle On With a Zooey-Inspired Headband
I've long admired Zooey Dechanel's retro style, and at the Hollywood Awards Gala, she walked the red carpet while wearing this swirly, sparkling headband. The side angle of the hair accessory adds a playfully modern feel, and the bangs bring a fashionable element to her signature look. For a similar take on Zooey's throwback style, check out the widget below for some sparkly black headbands.
Nasty Gal Crown of Feathers: Love It or Hate It?
I'm a big believer in the power of accessories, but when I came across this Nasty Gal's Crown of Feathers ($18), I was hesitant. My instinct tells me this whimsical headband is likely to overpower any ensemble, regardless of my childhood fantasy to be a princess. So, while this is certainly one way to experiment with feathers, it just isn't for me.
How-To: Emma Watson's Rainy Day Updo
Rainy weather didn't stop Emma Watson from looking fresh-faced and chic at the London premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. In fact, the loose updo style, complemented with braids and a red hair accent, is perfect for beating warm-weather humidity.
Now, I realize many of you might be sick of hearing about braids and headbands, two trends that have been popular for some time thanks to the ladies of The Hills and Gossip Girl, but you've got to appreciate how Emma turned the look into something fresh.
These Headbands Will Have You Feeling Zippy
The zippered clothing and accessories trend has been going strong for quite some time. Take, for instance, contemporary artist Cat Chow’s designs, whose fabrics are often intermingled with everyday items like corks, dollar bills, and even zippers. It probably comes as no surprise that now this style is popping up in the hair accessories category.
Which Hair Accessory Do You Like Best on Paris Hilton?
Paris Hilton is heating things up in the hair department at the Cannes Film Festival. First we saw her cutting a rug in a pretty purple Alice band at a party on Sunday night and then she sported a silver, eye-shade looking accessory on Monday at the Hollywood Dominos party. On Tuesday, Paris cooled off in the pool wearing turquoise jeweled headwear and at night, she wore a gold band to a fashion party before changing into a crystal hippie-style Alice band to celebrate her documentary flim Paris, Not France.
Who Wears the Metallic Headband Best?
While we're still seeing everything from satiny flowers to wispy feathers (hello, Gossip Girl), metallic headbands are also ruling the fashion scene. Although we haven't seen Mischa Barton wearing her signature style as of late, she does carry a line of headbands in collaboration with accessories designer Stacey Lapidus. As for the hair accessories business, Mischa's not alone.
Love It or Hate It? Nicole Richie's Grecian Headwear
We've certainly seem some interesting head gear recently, so it doesn't surprise me that fashionista Nicole Richie arrived at the Jenni Kayne and Andy Lecompte Salon Party in Los Angeles dressed from head to toe like a Greek goddess. I think this Alice band/hair piece is quite unique, stylish and elegant. She's managed to give it a slightly bohemian feel pairing it with flowy attire and unkempt waves.
Love It or Hate It? Lily Allen's Leafy Alice Band
Yesterday on the snow-filled streets of Mayfair, Lily Allen shopped at Chanel and Dover Street Market wearing a rather large leaf-inspired Alice band. It looks like this snuggly accessory could either be made out of felt or cashmere, and I can certainly see the draw on such a cold, winter day. Lily paired her headdress with black kohl-rimmed eyes and a blunt-cut fringe.
Love It or Hate It? Diana Vickers's Big Black Hair Bow
Diana Vickers hair might actually get more attention that her voice. Not only has there been buzz surrounding her X Factor bird's nest updo, but earlier this week at the Aussie Day Party at Delfina in London, she was spotted wearing an over-sized, semi-floppy black satin hair ribbon. We know that bows are in style now when it comes to clothing, but how do you feel when they're all tied up in your locks?
Which Headband Do You Like Best on Victoria Beckham?
Victoria Beckham sure is favouring the fashion of Alice Bands and I can absolutely see why. They're easy to wear, they're fabulous for when your hair isn't cooperating, and they're a stylish accessory. Ever since she went to dinner at Beso in November, she's been spotted wearing them around the world from Milan to Dubai and London.
