New Year, (hopefully) new music...

And a Happy 2014 to everyone. Unfortunately RL has a nasty habit of creeping up to you and then filling up all your available time, which meant I couldn't update the blog in 6 months! Among this year's resolutions is to actually find some time to do regular posts! But again, I cannot really promise anything.

In the meantime, since I vowed to dance to a different tune this year, let's take a look at the music world. I bet I'm not the only one missing Alicia Keys' gorgeous headscarves.

Alicia used to wear some beautiful wraps both on and off scene, but she seems to have (one hope temporarily) adopted a different style now. But we don't have to despair, there's a good contender to the throne of Scarf Queen of Music...



... And it happens to be Kaye-Ree. This strikingly beautiful, Iranian-German soul artist first appeared in 2009 with her first album, Endless Melody. She habitually wears a low bun-style headscarf both on and off-scene, and it has become her trademark look.

She doesn't just look beautiful and elegant, she sounds beautiful and elegant as well. You don't have to take my word for it, just listen to her.

We'll see if her style makes waves too!

Headscarved celebrities

After Rihanna's Classic from the last post, I thought to wrap up (pun intended) some pictures of modern-day female celebrities wearing headscarves.

Here is Anne Hathaway in a nice and elegant Rear Tie, while on holiday in Italy...

 ... The way she's wrapped looks like an attempt at Glamorous Disguise. Below, some pictures of her in another Rear Tie while out and about.

All I can say is, she looks great. I wish she would wear the style more often!

Here is Sharon Stone in a Classic headscarf on the set of Fading Gigolo.

I don't know is Sharon, already a Scarf Lady on my site, will have headscarf scenes in the movie. Those pictures are from the set.

Another real-life Scarf Lady now, Jennifer Lopez, in a couple of pictures of her wearing a peculiar Rear Tie style known as a Low Bun Wrap. This is a look she made very popular.

This is a more conventional Rear Tie, one of many she has worn in formal occasions.

Below from left to right: Natalie Portman and Katie Holmes in Rear Ties, then Stana Katic in a Low Bun Wrap and Courtney Love in a Classic.

Beyoncé Knowles is a great headscarf wearer, especially fond of the Rear Tie.

And here is Lady Gaga, in another Rear Tie.

Nicole Richie has done a lot to make the Rear Tie popular again, involving her (then) friend Paris Hilton in the trend.

And to end this post, it's great to see on of the great real-life present-day Scarf Ladies going back to wearing headscarves. None other than Alicia Keys, in her trademark Rear Tie.

I'll keep an eye open for more real-life Scarf Ladies. Stay tuned!
