Allure USA – May 2019

Twinkly gemstones moved from wrists and

necks to pretty much everywhere else. Tiny

stones decorated the cheeks at Christian

Siriano, and pearls brightened the inner

corners of the eyes at Adeam. Glimmering

barrettes secured easy, half-up styles at Chanel,

while hairstylist Jawara sewed what he called

“beaded crystal wigs” into the hair at Area. The

effect was extra—in the best way. “In fashion,

everyone has wanted things to be effortless,”

says Jawara. “It’s nice to change it up and do

beauty looks that are fun and feel aspirational.”

Hair accessories have done a

damn good job recently of

challenging any too-cute con-

notations. This season they

dealt the coup de grâce with

lots of leather and heavy metal.

At Balmain, hairstylist Sam

McKnight topped low ponytails

with chain-link crowns: “It’s pit-

ting a fancy French-girl head-

band against a punky chain.

Keep your hairstyle minimal.

It’s not about elaborate dos

with accessories,” he says, es-

pecially when they’ve got this

much attitude.
