If there’s ever been a year to embrace bold personal style, 2025 is it. From the racetrack to the wedding aisle, fashion is all about joyful self-expression, vibrant colour, and creative styling. And there’s no easier way to tap into these trends than with modern, statement-making headpieces.
That’s where Ashlee Lauren comes in, a fresh, Australian-made brand creating contemporary headbands, crowns, and earrings for racewear, Melbourne Cup, Derby Day, bridal showers, and wedding guests. With everything from bright sculptural headbands to stackable gold and silver classics, these pieces are designed to help you celebrate in style.
2025 Trend: Dopamine Dressing
This year, the mood is bright. Think blues, zesty yellows, and vivid pinks — all designed to spark joy. Whether you’re dressing for Melbourne Cup or a luxe garden party, Ashlee Lauren’s colourful headbands and matching earrings deliver the ultimate dopamine hit.
Style tip:
Pair a bold headband with a tonal outfit for head-to-toe colour blocking, or mix contrasting shades to stand out trackside. Add matching earrings to tie it all together.
2025 Trend: Modern Monochrome
Monochrome isn’t going anywhere — it’s just evolving. In 2025, black and white looks are sharper and cleaner, often finished with metallic accessories for a high-impact edge. Ashlee Lauren’s classic gold and silver headbands are perfect for stacking, letting you tailor your look from subtle chic to striking glam and add a veil for an elevated look.
Style tip:
Layer two or three headbands in mixed metals for a modern twist on tradition.
2025 Trend: Soft Romance for Weddings & Showers
Whether it’s a bridal shower, hens’ brunch, or you’re a wedding guest, 2025’s wedding style is all about soft romance and personal touches. Ashlee Lauren’s lilac and blush-toned accessories add a gentle pop of colour, while gold and silver pieces bring timeless elegance to updos or loose waves.
Style tip:
Choose a pastel headband for daytime garden weddings, and swap to a sparkling metallic for evening celebrations.

Headbands are the modern-day answer to the traditional fascinator, effortless, versatile, and refreshingly wearable. Unlike the classic fascinator, which often feels like a one-time statement piece, headbands can be styled in countless ways and worn again and again across events, seasons, and moods. They’re comfortable enough for all-day wear (no digging or pinching), lightweight, and don’t require bobby pins, teasing, or a complicated hairstyle to stay in place. Whether paired with sleek hair, waves, or a bold updo, headbands offer a polished yet contemporary edge that feels both chic and unfussy.
Our headbands are made to be adjustable and fit any size and shape head. if you find yours sit comfortable - simply email…and we’ll arrange a replacement for you.*
