Paris' Love Affair With Headbands

The hair apparent and her sparkly must-have of the moment! Photo by Getty Images

Paris Hilton has been spotted wearing glitzy headbands almost nonstop since April, but she took her obsession to the next level while hitting the scene at the Cannes Film Festival. Hilton donned an ornate hair accessory to almost every event (and at Cannes, that's a lot).

It's a trend we thought was dying down, but clearly Paris isn't ready to let go of her haute hippie/Grecian goddess look just yet -- even while sunbathing.

And because she's Paris, the headbands are mostly of the bling-tastic variety and match perfectly with her ensemble du jour, of course! So, while most of us wear them to give off a casual, more laid-back vibe, Paris' headbands are on the verge of looking costume-y (think 1920's flapper). Maybe it's the headband/sparkly necklace combos that don't work. Or is it just general overkill?

What do you think of Paris' recent headband fetish?

    No such thing as too many accessories. Why not throw giant sunglasses into the mix? Paris disregards the famous advice of Coco Chanel as she attends the Paris, Not France Cocktail Party at the 3.14 Beach.

I don't know about you....but I really don't give a "hoot" what Paris Hilton wears. She doesn't set the fashion trend for main-stream America, or any other country for that matter. I've had enough of seeing, or hearing anything this air-head does. There are so many other issues ... more important than Hilton's "sparkling" headbands, which are totally ridiculous.

I think Paris Hilton needs to hire a better stylist. I work with one that we have on our set from time to time and she is amazing. if you dont have Paris Hilton's money than her style will not work for mainstream america. I use someone who can find any trend and make it look fabulous at a fraction of the cost. She also does incredible makeovers for men and woman. Paris isn't the fashion icon she used to be five years ago, there are plenty other actresses in hollywood who have incredible style. try www.fashionfixnj.com they also come right to your home if you live in Nj or NY

This is Paril Hilton's way of seeing if she can command any additional attention to her AND lay claim to the fact that SHE started the "style trend" if anyone else wears one.

Smarten up public.....this gal is rich, but she certainly is no one I would want to have my daughter or granddaughters wanting to be like in ANY way, shape or form.

Why would anyone care? Money does not equal class, grace or charm. It is unfortunate that Miss Hilton does so little of real worth that she is known only for her desperate need for attention.

She needs Kate plus 8"s "hairdo" so she can cover that one lazy eye of hers with that hunk of hair that falls in Kates face all the time.

The press must really be struggling to find anything to gossip about if they are interested in Paris's headband! Though if her past has anything to tell it is further proof that money doesn't buy class!

Why should anybody care what this useless twit wears or does not wear, or who she's servicing on any given day ?
She is a prime example of why some animals eat their young.

Honestly, who gives a sh!t. I can't understand the pap's focus on her. She is neither an actor nor celebrity. She is a bored little rich girl with nothing else to do. She crashes parties with no invitation, gets thrown out, then pouts. She is a bad influence on others. Please stop giving her the attention she craves... I only ended up on this page because AOL didn't put her name in the link on main page. Otherwise I would have skipped this piece of "news".

...As I was saying..she is a total waste of space..a selfish egotistical, self centre, narcissistic twit...if this is what the world has come to..news of a stupid person who does nothing except run around and party and spend..spend..spend..and has no talent...except maybe to find the next expensive article of clothing or jewerly..and what happened to the good deeds she was going to do..when she went to jail...(probably still experiencing luxury) came out running snivelling into her equally as stupid selfish pathetic parents..like a dumb little kid!! I just loathe people like this..ugh..they remind me of the obama ...narcissistic and air headed...also running around ruining the country!!!!! Maybe they are related way back... his mom...her grandad...hmmm theres a thought!!!

You are right on the money! Who cares about this do-nothing piece of work? She is homely, egotistical, nasty and can't even keep friends, and the friends she corrals don't stick around very long. What is up with all the press adoration? What has she done? And who will she lay with next? Wonder she doesn't have all sorts of STD's. NO MORE PARIS H. PLEASE!
