As the racing season winds down, party season begins. Work Christmas parties, school formals, weddings, New Year’s Eve: suddenly every weekend needs an outfit. A gold headband is the easiest way to make even a simple dress feel festive.
Our handmade Golden Ambria Women Headband is crafted in Queensland from upcycled elastic garments, and shaped into a wide shimmering bow in champagne gold. It is a luxe finish with a conscience. Here is how to style it from spring racing right through to the countdown at midnight.
- Design: wide bow headband with a shimmer finish
- Material: upcycled soft elastic garments
- Colour: champagne gold shimmer with a white trim
- Best for: weddings, school formals, Christmas parties, New Year’s Eve, race day
- Handmade in Queensland as part of Nancy’s slow fashion range
Why Gold Is the Ultimate Party Accessory
Gold catches light like nothing else, and a shimmer finish multiplies the effect. Under fairy lights, candlelight or summer sun, a gold headband glows and draws attention to your face. It also works with an enormous range of colours, from black and white to jewel tones, pastels and neutrals.
Unlike a sequinned dress, a gold accessory is something you can wear again and again. Change the outfit and the Golden Ambria adapts: elegant at a wedding, playful at a Christmas party and glamorous on New Year’s Eve.
A sustainable fascinator you can feel good about
The Golden Ambria is made from repurposed elastic garments, giving fabric that would otherwise be thrown away a beautiful second life. Choosing a sustainable fascinator handmade in small batches is one of the easiest ways to make your occasionwear more conscious, without compromising on style.
How to Style the Golden Ambria
Work Christmas party
Pair it with a black or emerald velvet dress and gold hoops. It adds instant festivity without the commitment of glitter head to toe, and the soft elastic base is comfortable through a long evening.
School formal and graduation
Gold looks stunning with deep navy, burgundy, black and blush formal gowns. Wear your hair sleek and straight or in a low bun so the headband frames your face. It is a lovely alternative to a tiara.
Weddings and engagement parties
For a summer wedding, try a white and gold print, a champagne slip dress or a soft green linen dress. Gold is warm and celebratory, and it complements most wedding colour palettes.
New Year’s Eve
Go all in with a metallic or sequin outfit, or let the Golden Ambria be your single sparkle piece with a sleek black jumpsuit.
Race day
Gold is also a beautiful racing accessory, especially with white, cream, cobalt or emerald. It works on any day of the carnival.
Colours That Pair With a Gold Headband
- Classic: black, white and cream
- Jewel tones: emerald, sapphire, burgundy and plum
- Soft: blush, champagne and sage
- Bold: cobalt, red and hot pink
- Shoes: gold, nude or black heels
