Aside from the crop tops and clunky heels, this golden metal bandeau was the detail from the Balenciaga spring 2013 show that really sparked our interest. The way it's paired with a tousled, slightly unkempt hairstyle gives it a playful, futuristic vibe that still feels sophisticated.
The Chanel fall 2013 couture show offered yet another twist on the trend. By placing a sparkly strip of hardware just behind the high-volume crown of the ponytail hairstyle, you get a dramatic style with a polished finish.
"TRON: Legacy" actress Serinda Swan accessorized with this gold back headband earlier this season. The futuristic, bohemian look reminds us of a gadget (the next iteration of Google Glass?) you might spot on a tech campus -- a great look for the sci-fi sequel star.
Accessorizing with shorter hair lengths can be tough. But this look we found on Pinterest makes a backward headband on medium hair seem so doable. Twisting two sections of hair and pinning them at the back is a cute but casual style in itself. Top it off with a shiny gold headpiece and it's instantly rich.
