Lele Sadoughi Style Guide

STRAWBERRY BIRTHDAY CAKE KNOTTED HEADBAND

The Strawberry Birthday Cake Knotted Headband brings holiday sparkle to a slim, comfortable silhouette. Frosted red multi-color tweed with woven gold thread catches the light, while the signature center bow adds a playful, feminine finish. Finished with the trademark logo charm and crafted on Lele Sadoughi's custom fit band for all-day wear. Designed in NYC to shine from the first toast to the last dance of the season.

10 Ways to Wear It

1. Layer the frosted red Shirley headband with a delicate gold chain necklace and small huggie earrings for a polished holiday dinner look that keeps sparkle at the crown without overwhelming the face.
2. Pair the slim tweed headband with oversized square sunglasses, a structured blazer, and a silk scarf tied at the neck for a chic city-stroll moment that nods to current street-style layering.
3. Style the Shirley with a velvet headwrap underneath a wide-brim felt hat for après-ski lodge glamour, letting the gold thread flash against winter whites.
4. Combine the frosted red headband with a crystal-embellished collar necklace and skip earrings entirely, letting the neckline do the talking for a gallery-opening ensemble.
5. Tuck the Shirley over loose, tousled waves with a chunky turtleneck sweater, gold hoop earrings, and a leather crossbody for a cozy coffee-run look with intention.
6. Stack the headband with a silk scarf knotted at the ponytail base, statement drop earrings, and a red lip for a polished lunch-with-the-girls moment that reads festive but not overdone.
7. Pair the slim tweed band with a high-shine satin bow blouse, pearl stud earrings, and a layered set of dainty gold necklaces to let the crown shine at a daytime holiday party.
8. Style the Shirley with a sleek low bun, a sculptural gold ear cuff, and a crystal-encrusted brooch pinned to a lapel for an evening cocktail hour look with editorial polish.
9. Layer the headband over a center-parted sleek blowout, add cat-eye sunglasses and a long camel coat for a weekend brunch-meets-shopping look with subtle holiday warmth.
10. Combine the frosted red headband with a black silk slip dress, thin gold chain earrings, and a stack of crystal bangles to let the gold thread of the band echo the jewelry at the wrist.

Styling Tips

• Keep earrings small or skip them entirely when wearing the Shirley at its full 2 1/4 inch height to let the bow lead the look.
• Echo the gold thread by layering delicate gold necklaces or stacking thin gold bangles for a cohesive holiday palette.
• Pair the slim tweed texture with smooth fabrics like silk, satin, and velvet to let the woven gold thread pop.
• Spot clean only and store flat in the custom striped pouch to preserve the bow shape and tweed fibers season after season.
• Let the band sit one inch behind the hairline rather than pushed forward to flatter the face and showcase the center knot.
