We don’t have a lot of chances in our regular, work-a-day lives to dress up like the stars do. Even though they try very hard to convince us that they’re just like us — you know, like Diane Lane claims she’ll be doing laundry on her birthday, and Julie Bowen was cutting her kids’ hair before she got ready – the truth is we’re as different from them as we are from children looking to be sponsored in infomercials starring Alyssa Milano.
So, when I watch awards shows, I want to see which fashion, hair and beauty trends might actually be applicable to our lives. Usually the only application I can see is bridal. Which leads me to headbands.
Here’s Charlize Theron and her glittery headband at the 2012 Golden Globes.
And Michelle Williams with her pixie hair and dark band with a hit of sparkle, also at the 2012 Golden Globes.
Like Princess Kate brought back sleeves, I think Charlize and Michelle might bring back the bridal headband.
Luckily it won’t be this one from the 80s. I hope.
What do you think will show up on brides this wedding season?

Yes. Super bridal.
I think every newly engaged girl will be pinning that Charlize shot onto her Pinterest “My Special Day” board. But she did look good. Michelle just gets by on her innate beauty that somehow makes the headband less heinous. A normal person should not try that look. Ever.
My first thought when I saw Charlize was, “Oh, pretty wedding hair!”
I thought Jessica Biel’s dress looked like a wedding gown.
A frumpy, old-fashioned, saggy-three-boobs wedding dress? If yes, then I agree!
Cranky, what say you re: Jessica Biel’s gown?
She kind of looked like that bride who was left at the altar and then went a little crazy and lived in her gown for the rest of her days, growing more and more dishevelled with each passing year.
OMIGOD, you are so. right. of course!
I agree! I think Charlize Theron’s look is a perfect bridal look. I sisn’t care for Michelle’s headband though. I have short hair too, and I know it can get boring trying to dress up your hair, but I’d rather have used a sparkly barette instead, ya’ know?
didn’t not sisn’t sorry! sausage fingers here
I agree re: Michelle’s look, Tracy — a sparkly barette. Or a more delicate headband. This one is just too… heavy, I think.
Not a fan of the headband look unless you are washing your face or doing housework – maybe just running errands. Remember we also saw the headband on Kim K’s wedding headgear that she said was (all in diamonds) paying homage to her Armenian heritage.
