If you want to get ahead…get a head band?
posted 17.04.2008
When this pic of Mary Kate arrived at the ELLE picture desk this morning, everyone had something to say about it. Insane to sublimely ridiculous was the general concensus.
I have to say though - I love, love, love it. Dressed up in Granny’s old vintage, two sizes to big, couture hobo is not a new look for MK or her partner in fashion crime, twin sister Ashley. We’re all used to seeing the waifs Olsen in floor skimming (read floor cleaning) dresses and a doe eyed look that says - ‘Oh I just threw this on…’
But it’s the head band on this look that really has people talking. Part Queen Amidala (That’s Natalie Portman in Star Wars) part Jane Fonda circa 1984 I think MK probably found inspiration for it at Marc Jacobs a/w08 show…which was a riot of 1980s references, including the giant head band.
Though the general vibe of Marc’s retro look back in time was something we all suspected might infiltrate anywhere from the high street to the red carpet come next season, no one at the show thought we’d see that headband anywhere…but then maybe we hadn’t reckoned on MK…Im not sure even Marc did…

Love it too! For some reason, some things can only be right when worn by the right person and with the right attitude to back it up - Mary-Kate always has the right attitude!

headband - I’ll say it’s a maybe.
overall outfit - a disaster. Poor girl, it never gets any better for her! She is tiny and has a great figure…MK, for the love of God, wear something that flatters your body!!
