Headbands used to be worn around the head going under the hair, but somewhere in the not-so-distant past all that changed. All of a sudden stars have been seen with them over the top of their hair. Is Miuccia to blame for this trend?



One might be drawn to conclude that it all started with the Prada turban - as seen above. We never really expected the turban to make it to the everyday fashionista's wardrobe, but the headband version of the turban was indeed picked up by the likes of Ashley Olsen. Since then, Nicole Richie and Kate Bosworth have also been out-and-about in headbands worn in a similar fashion to the Prada turban-headband, only minus the exotic details.



I personally find this difficult - mostly because if the headband slips upwards you end up with a big ugly bubble of hair puffing over the top of it. Can you make this work? What do you think of the trend?

I think Ashley's looks great but Kate and Nicole's don't do it for me I'm afraid! Definitely a trend for people with long wavy hair I reckon because Kate kinda just looks a little silly!. I have to say its a bit of a miss and I cant really see it catching on mainstream

Agreed with Samantha. I think it could certainly be worn in a great way, but it's not one of those 'just throw it on' accessories.

I'm much more a fan of Ashley's look, than the other two featured.

Does anyone else think that Kate looks really old in that photo? I thought it was Diane Keaton or someone similar.

wow thatlooks reeeli weird...... looks like they hav undies on their head.. big no.. headband worn well however are great and i love those plastic headbands they are cute too..... but that trend is just.. weird :S
p.s this was done at my school with thin, sequined headbands wic worked i suppose ( not really appropriate for school) but large material headbands r strange

kaz said it the best! nothing to add except lollll i like the red satin material though! can think of better uses for that! reowwww

Yeah only Ashley's one looks good....not feeling the boofyness of the others :o
Dont really like the turban either :s

i think they look ridiculous.

Is this the type you mean Kaz?

yep like that.. i love miranda ker!
