As someone who has waged a losing campaign to single-handedly bring back the tradition of Fedoras in the winter and Panamas in the summer — a truly hopeless task in perennially sunny Silicon Valley — and who has encouraged every old girlfriend to strongly consider the Ingrid Bergman look…

5 RElgin January 18, 2013 at 10:51 am: I don’t know . . . if a woman had that hairstyle, suddenly, it does not matter what she is wearing.

Success!
6 Crawfish January 18, 2013 at 11:26 am: Franky, I’m impressed. That shape is so fucking weird. How did they get her hair up that way? Is it hollow inside or is it all a dense mass of hair? How heavy is it? So many questions.
7 Fiatdriver January 18, 2013 at 12:37 pm: Or can I put my ***** in it and would it feel good.
8 keyinjpop January 18, 2013 at 1:36 pm: Waiting for Lady Gaga to steal this look. lol
9 keyinjpop January 18, 2013 at 1:39 pm: I have a hat similar to the on in your attachment. Not sure if it’s a fedora or a panama but I always liked those hats. So stylish.
10 Robert Koehler January 18, 2013 at 1:42 pm: Seriously?
11 Jeff Harris January 18, 2013 at 9:54 pm: Classic fedora, key, and few wore it better than Bogie on the tarmac in ‘Casablanca’. A Panama is made of straw / palm fronds (but David can and will correct me if I’m wrong).
12 keyinjpop January 19, 2013 at 12:39 am: Hairjob. lol
13 R. Elgin January 19, 2013 at 2:51 am: Totally ^_^
14 hardyandtiny January 19, 2013 at 2:59 am: at least she look like a korean
15 jk641 January 19, 2013 at 7:40 am: Careful.
I bet a bird or something is living in there.
16 R. Elgin January 19, 2013 at 11:30 am: There is *nothing* that freak won’t steal.
17 yangachibastardo January 20, 2013 at 8:31 am: She indeed looks kinda ajummish
18 SomeguyinKorea January 20, 2013 at 8:59 am: That’s most certainly not her real hair, but a hairpiece; hence, it could be considered a hat.
19 Brendon Carr January 20, 2013 at 11:28 am: Wire frame, hollow inside, definitely lots of “product” involved.
20 Brendon Carr January 20, 2013 at 11:28 am: Like Michelle Obama’s new hairpiece!
21 RElgin January 20, 2013 at 3:34 pm: I was just having an animated conversation about this as well as discussing one theory of how to dress.

IMHO, this hairstyle is very successful because it is the “accent” of her attire. She keeps her makeup simple to show her lovely face and THOSE EYES. Her dress is mostly black with white highlights that places emphasis upon the form – much in the way the hairstyle is all about shape or form.

A simple dress or accompaniment works as a “base” with this hair since the hair is the accent. It almost does not matter what she wears so long as it follows the lines of such a concept.
This model does an excellent job wearing this as well.

Like someguy mentions, this might be a hairpiece and a “hat” and that really makes sense.
