The blogosphere tongues were wagging. They called Mama Madonna’s headdress a pair of bunny ears, the worst outfit they ever saw, and lots of yadayada trash talk for an otherwise slow news day.
I thought it was creative genius.
In that crowd of every best-dressed supermodel and ingénue, whom do you remember still? Madonna, the muse who really is forever 21!
Fast-forward five months to today. Cheap chic emporium Forever 21 is no chump when it comes to glomming on to a trend. On one of my shopping the stores look-sees, I couldn’t help but notice the flock of young fashionistas trying on the fun teal headpiece that looks quite inspired by the one that Madonna wore. I was pretty surprised by all the attention to overdone hair accessories as I think this trend is pretty much done.
Frankly, the whimsy of Madonna’s hair accessory is far more eclectic than the frou-frou version, but for five bucks and some change you can still knock yourself out.

Good idea to buy the bow ones now! They were all over the runways for spring: http://www.thinkthrufashion.com/2009/10/spring-2010-new-york-fashion-week-trends-tired-of%E2%80%A6-hair-bows/
