With Halloween less than a week away, CC can’t help but post some of the costume-y runway looks of late. Today’s focus is the fantastical headdress. Even if you wouldn’t wear these feathered fripperies to the club, perhaps they can inform your Marie Antoinette costume?At right, Daphne Guinness, courtesy Paul Pincus.

I simultaneously love and fear that Vogue cover. Oh, and I saw that Vanity Fair cover. They are using it to advertise a show that the Los Angeles County Museum of Art is having of the photographs of Vanity Fair.
that 1924 Vogue photo is breathtaking...
so captivating it's crazytown.
happy saturday cc!

I've always loved that Gloria Swanson photo. It looks so modern.
Deliciously entertaining.
Woah these are amazing, some are incredibly pretty, others are kinda freaky, but I still like them all! The CDG cottony thing is lovely and I adore the flowers.
Just delicious, Carrie!
hmmm... i like unique head pieces in theory.
loved the ones from the village care benefit! some of those headdresses were just insane! :)
Hi there-I do love the Ralph Lauren take on this trend!
ahhaha so much to see the 1924 vogue is goregeous!
LOVE this post - I had so much fun looking at all of these crazy looks!
A lot of these are simply a work of art and beautiful but a little difficult to wear in everyday life, however I would try perhaps the navy blue (or is it black? hard to tell) turban from Ralph Lauren! :)
Thanks so much for your sweet comment, by the way! :)
