Diane Kruger in Zac Posen - I Want That!

Filed under: Get the Look

diane krugerApparently we aren't the only ones with a major Zac Posen affliction. Gorgeous actress Diane Kruger chose a blush taffeta confection by the designer for the Berlin Film Festival. We love this gown because it takes all of the most romantic elements of 18th century French Rococo and Baroque periods and brings them up to speed with a shiny, crinkly fabric and neutral hue. Diane further modernizes the look by pairing color with color (Read: navy satin clutch) and topping it all off with a cute, jeweled headband.

Filed under: Style Tip of the Day, Beauty Tips, Hair Cut and Style

Mila JovovichWe have seen starlets like Nicole Richie, Mischa Barton, and Milla Jovovich (shown) sporting fancy head pieces for some time. At first, frankly, they scared us. But now, like a fungus, they have grown on us, so much so that we have to try one.

Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves

Why aren't you wearing this? Skinny Headband with Houndstooth and Bow

Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves, Hair Cut and Style


In case you haven't noticed, we're all about finding subtle ways to introduce fall into our wardrobes. Some of you might live where it's cold enough to don a scarf and coat already, but some of us live in areas where we'll still be wearing tank tops at Christmas.

Vivienne Westwood at Paris Fashion Week

Filed under: Fashion Week

Only Vivienne Westwood would come out wearing a headband with a statement against the very thing she's selling. The grand dame of fashion sported headwear that had the word "Branded," scrawled across her forehead during her show at Paris Fashion Week.

Filed under: Celebrity Fashion Mistakes, Red Carpet Trends



We love Christina Hendricks, in all of her sexy babiliciousness and glory. Watching her strut across the offices of Sterling Cooper makes us want to rush out for some hardcore vintage shopping and a box of red hair dye.

Mischa Barton - Queen of the look gets her own line of head bands

Filed under: Accessories, Celebrities with Style, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes


(Click the photo to see who's hopping on the head band bandwagon)

Mischa Barton, style vixen and unabashed head band lover, has been rewarded for her loyalty to the look with her very own line of head bands.

Under the guidance of designer Stacey Lapidus, and one presumes the assistance of an army of Bedazzler wielding minions, Mischa will create "bejeweled and feather-adorned accessories." Sounds magical magickal.

You can't really put a price on fashion like this (some would say that Claire's does a pretty good job) but the "pieces" in Mischa's new line will go from $40 to $200.

As inspired as Mischa may be when it comes to head bands, she is hardly alone in her love of cranial adornment. In the gallery, a few priceless moments in celebrity head gear.

Filed under: Accessories, Hair Care, Must Haves


Admit it -- you're totally not over Blair Waldorf and her crazy/awesome Gossip Girl trends. You love that she always has a frou-frou headband and you're dying to wear one, too, but you're not sure where to get the best one for your buck. We can help you.

Why aren't you wearing this? Cream Ribbon Triple Headband

Filed under: Accessories, Hair Care, Daily Obsession, Must Haves


You know what we love? A sleek, shiny, preppy ribbon holding back our hair. But, do you know what we hate? The fact that ribbons never stay in place in our hair! Especially if we try to put multiple ribbons in there -- forget it.

However, with the right headband, we might still be able to get the look our locks long for.

Why aren't you wearing this? Textured Ribbon Headband

Filed under: Accessories, Hair Care, Must Haves


We've shown you a few headbands throughout the "Why aren't you wearing this?" series, and often, they cost a pretty penny. And if you love it, and you have the cash, there's no reason not to spend $50 on a headband. However, if you're short on cash but still want the look, there are plenty of options.

One place that's great to shop for cheap little accessories that you'll only wear a few times is Forever 21, which is where we found this Textured Ribbon Headband for ... wait for it ... only $2.80! Seriously! And it's cute!

Why aren't you wearing this? Skinny Silk Wrapped Headband

Filed under: Accessories, Hair Care, Must Haves


When you're looking for a little something to add to your 'do, you don't always want something big and bulky, and something bright and bold might not work with the rest of your outfit. But you still need a little something -- a little color or texture or bling.

We think this Cara Accessories Skinny Silk Wrapped Headband, available at Nordstrom for $44, is perfect for that. There is some fun color and texture there, so it can give your look a lift, but it's not so attention-grabbing that it really needs to match what you're wearing.

Why aren't you wearing this? Tasha Satin Rosette Head Wrap

Filed under: Accessories, Hair Care, Must Haves


We just finished watching the Gossip Girl season finale, and, as happens every Monday night, we decided we want to start wearing more fabulous hair accessories. Between Blair's headband at the wedding and her hat at the end, and Lily's flower in her hair, we are simply inspired.

And so, while we might normally overlook this Tasha Satin Rosette Head Wrap (available at Nordstrom for $68) as being a little "too much," we're really feeling it right now. Of course, this isn't a headband to be paired with undone hair -- this is something to be saved for occasions when you're really going for a look. Perhaps you could bust it out for a fabulous Upper East Side wedding this summer!

Why aren't you wearing this? J. Crew Printed Silk Headband

Filed under: Accessories, Hair Care


We love the look of a soft, pretty headband. And, yes, we loved it even before Gossip Girl. Depending on the style of the headband, it can make your outfit more preppy, girly, or earthy. Today, we're leaning toward preppy.
