One step a-head

By Becky Taylor 

From a subtle diamante clip to statement hair bands adorned with corsages, hair accessories are the latest trend to grip the nation and, going by the number of A-listers using their head to gain extra points in the style stakes, this is one look that\'s here to stay. From Agyness Deyn to Victoria Beckham, take inspiration from the stars working this season\'s hottest new hair-led trend...

Nicole Richie

We\'re loving this gold Eastern inspired headwear Nicole is wearing from her House of Harlow accessories range.

Scarlett Johansson

Take note ladies this is the perfect way to wear this season\'s up-do if you have a slightly wider or heart shaped face. Scarlett\'s satin headband softens the scraped back hair style and looks great against her new red hair colour, we like!

Agyness Deyn

Always one to take a trend and make it her own, Agy injects some fluoro colour into her icy crop by throwing on a couple of funky headbands.

Mischa Barton

This embellished gold leaf band is a great way to update your look and is the perfect accompaniment to Mischa\'s waves.

Dita Von Teese

Few people could get away with a fascinator of this size but teamed with Dita\'s ‘40s inspired hair and porcelain complexion, it\'s the perfect finish to her perfectly polished look.

Peaches Geldof

Peaches adds some edge to her long waves and side-swept fringe with a simple timeless snakeskin headband.

Paris Hilton

A smug looking Miss Hilton shows us that you can never have too many diamonds and this glittering headband looks great against her sleek bob.

Daphne Guinness

Queen of fashion Daphne Guinness leads the way in the style stakes throwing on as many hair accessories as she can lay her hands on. It should look too busy but put with her platinum up-do and effortless sense of style, it works.

Victoria Beckham

Posh demonstrates that you don\'t have to be an exhibitionist to work this new trend, a couple of strategically placed diamante hair clips is a great way of updating her choppy do.

Peaches Geldof

A cross between Princess Lea and a hippy from the ‘60s, Peaches goes all out teaming a couple of plaits with huge flowers. It\'s a bit much for an everyday look but wouldn\'t look out of place whilst lounging at the beach.
