Maybe it’s the influence of that almost-punk, nearly-punk and not-really-punk that surrounds fashion media lately, but did I just see (what I am calling) a ‘pohawk’ in Cannes?

Note the Dior Couture – SS13 this time. That’s two for Raf on opening night, and I’ve only just begun counting.


Whether you like it or not, she clearly wins the prize for most durable hair products!

And while a couple of fellow fashion daredevils tried, their tresses left them, well, stranded.

Although Lady Hervey’s locks weren’t as locked down by lotions and potions as Nic’s, I appreciated that she took a fashion risk. Also, she’s a Lady and thus, entitled to hair ornamentation.

It’s the risk-takers that make the red carpet dance, after all. That’s one thing I’ve always appreciated about Nicole Kidman – she doesn’t always win the sartorial lottery, but she takes chances.
She’s a jury member this year, so there will be a few more surprises over the next 11 days, I am sure.
