The Return Of The Scrunchie? Make Like Cressida Bonas And Go Back To The '90s

Ashish S/S 2013- scrunchie inspiration for Cressida's Glastonbury 'do?

Ever since we spied them on the heads of Olympic gymnasts during last summer’s games, we can’t help but notice that the good old 90’s scrunchie really is popping up everywhere. At Ashish’s spring/summer 2013 show, models strutted down the catwalk with effortlessly messy topknots secured in place with white scrunchies, and even Hilary Clinton made headlines last year for wearing this much-debated hair accessory. So, when we spotted Cressida Bonas at Glasto on Saturday wearing a white scrunchie, we reckon this trend might just be on to something. A scrunchie revival, you say? Well, indeed!

Popularised during the mid-'80s, the scrunchie craze reached its peak in the '90s, but quickly became passé as an accessory and has definitely had its fair share of bad rap over the years. Crucified by Carrie Bradshaw in that infamous episode of Sex and the City when she claimed that ‘real’ New York women would never wear a scrunchie, the hair accessory’s popularity dwindled faster than our love for The Body Shop’s White Musk.

Fast forward to 2013 and famous fans of the scrunchie include Sienna Miller, Uma Thurman, Whitney Port and Mary-Kate Olsen to name a few. Even catwalk queen Cara Delevingne was snapped up by quirky fashion brand My Crazy Scrunchie to be the face of their new campaign, definitely putting the ‘cool’ back in scrunchie.

Still not convinced? Ever thought about the benefits wearing a scrunchie has for your hair? As a snag free band, the scrunchie won’t cause breakage, plus available in such a bright range ofcolours (get yourself down to American Apparel), you’ll never be rummaging in your handbag for a little hair tie ever again, and until you need to wear it, a scrunchie looks pretty chic on your wrist, too.

Check out our best scrunchie moments for some '90s-inspiration. If it’s good enough for Cressida and Cara, it’s definitely good for us…

Jourdan Dunn's boobs too small for Dior's Paris Couture Fashion Week show?

British model Jourdan Dunn took to Twitter after being dropped from the Christian Dior Paris Haute Couture fashion show today, revealing that her boobs were considered 'not right' for the look.

Though designer Raf Simons has already being criticised for selecting a 'pointedly white' model cast in his runway shows (despite joining Dior in 2012 after John Galliano's departure), Jourdan laughed off the runway sacking with a few sarcastic Tweets.

Justin Bieber’s new music will end ‘witch hunt’

Justin Bieber’s new music will silence his critics.

The singer’s manager Scooter Braun says Justin’s forthcoming album and single should “end the witch hunt” against the 19-year-old.

Justin has been the subject of a slew of unpleasant tabloid stories over the last year.

Among the reports, he allegedly swore at a paparazzo, feuded with his neighbour and was two hours late for a London concert.

"We're hoping the witch hunt is going to end when he really just speaks for himself in the music," Scooter told MTV News. "We decided there needs to be a way to release these songs in a different way than the normal album to be able to allow him to express himself in music while dealing with so many different bulls**t stories every single day."

The pint sized singer recently announced his forthcoming single would be entitled Heartbreaker.

Scooter revealed the Canadian has written “so many” songs on the road and hinted at an end of year release date in a different format.

"We're going to do it in a way that's very unique, so when you see Heartbreaker, know it's coming directly from him and don't think of the normal ‘Oh this is my single and this is going to be on the album'.” Scooter added.

The new tracks are billed as a “music journal” and marks the singer’s first album since 2012’s Believe.
