Jan 5, 2025

Accenting hair using tinsel and ribbons is old news now because there’s a new hair accessory in town. Lupita Nyong’o, and her hairstylist Vernon Francois, have introduced us to sequinned hair and it’s already made it to the top of the trends we’d love to cop for our wedding looks this season.

The Oscar-winning actress was seen on the red carpet for the New York City premiere of her upcoming film A Quiet Place: Day One. She wore a black off-shoulder Prada sequinned catsuit paired with shiny pumps of the same shade. But while Lupita looked stunning in the shimmery black catsuit, what caught our eye was her bedazzled hair.

Her deeply parted do had black sequins woven into the front part, adding dimension and texture to the dark locks.

Adding sequins to your hair is a great way to add drama and tie your outfit together. If you’re wearing a monochromatic look, sequins can make for a fun addition to your beauty look to add interest and dimension without going overboard.

You can either weave the sequins into your hair, á la Lupita, or add gel and place the sequins the way you desire on your hair. The best part is that there are no rules and you can go all out and have fun with the trend.
