Dua Lipa Is Having a Headscarf Honeymoon — See Photos

If we didn’t already convince you that headscarves are the hair accessory of the summer, allow Dua Lipa to chime in. Her honeymoon in Italy with new husband Callum Turner is making quite the compelling case for adding at least a couple of cotton or silky squares to your hairstyle lineup this season.

The singer has been sharing photos from her Italian getaway via Instagram carousel, and while the scenery is predictably gorgeous, her commitment to that headscarf life deserves just as many snapshots. Rather than treating the look as a one-off, she’s made it a recurring part of her vacation wardrobe and casual beauty vibes.

In one photo, Lipa lounges across a plush hotel bed with an espresso in one hand and a book in the other, wearing a powder-blue bandana tied over the crown of her head and secured under her long, dark hair. Paired with an all-white outfit of a tank top and jeans, the look feels effortlessly cool, though we have a feeling Turner might have been playing diligent Instagram husband in order to capture this quiet-luxury moment.

In other photos, she swaps the pastel style for a classic navy version of the bandana—could it be she bought a multi-pack?—printed with the same crisp, white pattern. It hides her hairline and is tied at the nape of her neck, offsetting oodles of gold necklaces and a metallic bikini.

The beauty of the headscarf lies in its ability to be both practical and timelessly stylish. It keeps hair off your face on windy boat rides (because you know she’s getting in some yacht time on this honeymoon), disguises the effects of humidity between swims, and instantly makes even the simplest outfit feel more intentional. And yes, anyone can do it. Hairstylist Lacy Redway has previously told Allure that it’s just a matter of keeping it in place: “To secure the scarf, cross two pins behind your ears where they are not very visible.”

Obviously, one needn’t go on a European honeymoon to partake in Headscarf Summer. Lipa can still serve as hair-accessory inspo even if your summer social schedule is just a series of hanging out under a friend’s patio umbrella with zero wedding plans.
