Sarah Jessica Parker Makes the Case for the Very Long Braid

Sarah Jessica Parker is wearing a braid long enough to earn a fairy-tale nickname. Harper's Bazaar points to both the color and the styling as reasons it works, and singles it out as a model for women in their fifties and beyond. It's a quiet rebuttal to the old rule that hair should get shorter as the birthdays add up, and readers from Palm Beach to Beverly Hills who've been told to "go sensible" may want to bring it to their next salon appointment.
