With bridal season in full bloom, designers are rolling out a fresh crop of wedding-worthy hair accessories to elevate any hairdo on the big day and beyond. For inspiration, we looked to the exquisite matching Jess Collett x Alexander McQueen headpieces worn by Princess of Wales Kate Middleton and her daughter, 8-year-old Princess Charlotte, at the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla on May 6. These silver-and-crystal headpieces with three-dimensional leaves made a show-stopping statement as an update on the expected tiara.
The 2023 Met Gala (themed Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty) also showcased an array of stunning hair accessories. Salma Hayek adorned her ponytail with three pretty floral hair clips, Elle Fanning wore a floral crown of fresh daisies, and sleek hair bows dressed up the tresses of Nicole Kidman, Camila Morrone, Karlie Kloss and Emily Ratajkowski.
Here is a round-up of A-list-inspired bridal hair jewelry — from clips to bows, barrettes to headbands —for those walking down the aisle this season. All under $215, they are all versatile enough for brides, bridesmaids and guests to wear at a multitude of summer soirees.
For an understated romantic look, Eugenia Kim's ruffled metallic satin headband polishes off a bridal hairdo.
