Fab or Fail: Kim Kardashian and Alicia Keys in Jeweled Wedding Headpieces

The ladies both illuminated their “Big Day” gowns with this headgear. Are you feeling the trend?

Kim Kardashian’s August 20 nuptials were dubbed a “Royal Wedding,” and while that may seem like a hefty title for the reality star her wedding day style was fit for a princess, from her custom-made lace and tulle Vera Wang gown to her to $2.5 million diamond Lorraine Schwartz headpiece. The 65-carat sparkler was inspired by Audrey Hepburn and fit right into the rest of her bling, which included $5 milliion earrings and of course, her 20.5 carat, $2 million dollar emerald-cut engagement ring (both by Lorraine Schwartz). Kim balances out the over-the-top headpiece addition with a simple tulle veil and sleek bun.  

 

Last year, Alicia Keys also accessorized a Vera Wang wedding gown with a jeweled headpiece when she married Swizz Beatz (July 31). Wang was originally inspired by a style of dress worn by Egyptian princesses, so the dazzling jeweled “crown” fit right into the motif. Key’s jewel encrusted headband was originally a one-of-a-kind necklace that was reworked by Jacob & Co. She skipped a veil for the custom-fitted 60 carat diamond headpiece and showed it off by pinning her hair up.
