JET BARDOT VELVET RIBBON HEADBAND
The Jet Bardot Velvet Ribbon Headband channels Brigitte Bardot's 1960s Parisian romance — a slim black velvet band finished with a hand-knotted bow for an effortlessly polished, French-girl finish. Its whisper-thin silhouette keeps the look refined rather than costume-y, making it the easiest piece in your arsenal to dress up or down. Wear it when you want instant sophistication without sacrificing comfort.
10 Ways to Wear It
- Pair the slim velvet Bardot with oversized cat-eye sunglasses and a silk scarf knotted at the neck for a 1960s French-girl uniform.
- Style it with a single bold gold statement earring on one side (the asymmetrical ear-cuff look dominating street style) and skip a necklace entirely to keep the bow as the focal point.
- Layer it over a sleek low bun with chunky gold hoop earrings and a structured blazer — proportions favor the bold earring against the slim band.
- Wear it with a head-to-toe tonal black look, a chunky gold chain necklace, and small diamond studs so the necklace does the talking.
- Pair with a crisp white tee, high-rise jeans, layered dainty gold necklaces, and small huggie earrings — let the velvet bow add the romance.
- Style over a high ponytail with a silk scarf tied around the base and small stud earrings for an Olivia Palermo-meets-Saint-Tropez moment.
- Pair with an off-the-shoulder knit dress, a thin gold chain, and oversized drop earrings — the slim band echoes the neckline's elegance.
- Wear with a tuxedo jacket, layered pearl necklaces, and small pearl studs for an Audrey Hepburn-inspired evening look.
- Style over loose waves with a printed silk scarf wrapped as a headband underneath and medium gold hoops — Bardot-on-Bardot styling.
- Pair with a chunky gold cuff bracelet, bold cocktail ring, statement chandelier earrings, and a sleek pulled-back bun — when earrings are big, keep the slim band and skip the necklace.

How to Style It With Your Hair
Hair DownWear over loose, lived-in waves parted deeply to one side — the Bardot's signature Brigitte look. Tuck one side behind the ear to showcase the bow's drape.
PonytailStyle over a sleek, mid-height ponytail with a center part. The slim band sits cleanly against the hair tie and keeps the bow front and center.
Half-UpPair with a soft half-up, half-down style with face-framing pieces pulled loose. The bow sits beautifully against the volume on top while the lengths cascade.
BunWear with a low, slightly undone chignon at the nape — French-girl effortlessness. Pull a few wisps free at the temples for softness around the velvet.

Styling Tips
- The slim 1/2" silhouette means this bow is your focal point — keep earrings and necklaces in supporting roles (small studs, huggies, or one statement earring only).
- Spot clean only and store flat in the signature striped pouch to protect the velvet pile and preserve the hand-knotted bow's shape.
- Black velvet reads instantly dressed-up — swap a fabric headband for this one to elevate even the simplest white tee and jeans.
- Position the bow slightly off-center (just above the temple rather than dead-center) for the most flattering, modern placement.
- Use the custom comfort-fit band as your all-day piece — it's rated the most comfortable by loyal customers and won't give you a headache through long dinners or events.
