Lupita Nyong’o’s Short Hairstyle with Headband at the 2014 Oscars

Let’s all pause for a moment to revel at how Lupita Nyong’o triumphantly redefined hi-top fade hairstyle. To girlify a hi-top fade hairstyle for a formal event is a feat; quite a difficult one, actually, but she did it with a big bang! Everyone’s BFF at the 2014 Oscars pushed back the tapered top of her short crop with a gold and diamond-encrusted Harry Winston headband. To tame the top, apply a soft hold gel before donning the headband. Well sculpted shaved sides added a clean and cool look to her coif. Perfection!
