The lovely Shakira arrived on the red carpet in London last night sporting a new take on the half-shaved head that's been dominating the edgiest realms of fashion all season (think Rihanna, Cassie, and Alice Dellal). Instead of going for the actual shave, the songstress just had two tight cornrows braided in, creating the look without the commitment. However you feel about the look, you have to admit that this is a clever way to wear a hair trend without sacrificing your hard-won locks. What do you think, though? Is this a smart style inspiration, or just a silly misstep?
