Flapper Headdress

This flapper headdress covers more of the head than a simple band: a row of beaded and sequinned leaf appliques sits across the forehead, and strands of bead chain drape over the temples and down the back like a soft cap. It comes in black, gold and champagne, and slips on with a glitter elastic band.

How the Beaded Flapper Headdress Sits

The leaf band rests just above the eyebrows, the way 1920s headpieces were worn, while the chains fall loosely over the hair instead of gripping it. The elastic makes it one size; two bobby pins hidden under the side strands stop it sliding during a long night of dancing. It sits nicely over a short bob, finger waves or hair tucked into a low chignon.

Black, Gold or Champagne: Matching a Headdress to Your Dress

Black frames the face sharply and suits a red, ivory or black dress. The gold beaded version warms up green, black and cream outfits. Champagne leans toward a rose-gold, peach tone in our photos, so we suggest it with blush, nude or pale pink dresses, and for a 1920s bride who wants something softer. Feathered and jeweled bands are in our flapper headbands.

Flapper Headdress FAQ

What is the decoration made of?

Beads and sequins, arranged as leaves on the band and as draped chains.

Can I wear it with long hair?

Yes. Pull your hair into a low bun or a faux bob first, then set the band across the forehead; the chains lie over the gathered hair.

Does it suit a wedding?

Yes, especially the champagne version with a dropped-waist gown or a beaded bridal dress for a 1920s-themed ceremony.
