Metallic Unicorn Horn, Glitter Ears, Pink Tulle Ruff and Fabric Flower Detail · Available in 6 Colours · Suits Ages 1 to 12
A unicorn headband is the single most effective accessory for completing a unicorn look. It works alone on a plain outfit to suggest a theme instantly, or alongside a unicorn dress to finish the full character look for a party, photoshoot or fancy dress event. This one delivers more detail than most at its price point: a tall metallic horn, glitter-covered felt ears, a soft pink tulle ruff at the base and two small fabric flowers with pearl centres. It is available in six colours so it can be matched to virtually any unicorn outfit or party palette.
At £6.99 it is also one of the most popular party bag filler options for unicorn-themed birthday parties, with parents often buying multiple headbands across different colours for guests to wear on the day.
Key Features at a Glance
About the Unicorn Headband
The headband measures approximately 27 cm in total height from the bottom of the band to the tip of the horn, 19 cm in overall width across the ears, and 11 cm across the headband itself. These are generous dimensions that make the headband clearly visible and impactful even in a crowded party setting or at a distance in photographs.
The horn is the centrepiece. It is made from a fabric-covered foam or padded base wrapped in a spiral pattern and finished in a metallic material that reflects light well. In the rainbow version, the horn uses six distinct metallic colours (purple, pink, red, orange, yellow and green) wrapped in a tight spiral with a gold thread accent. In the single-colour versions, the horn is finished in a solid metallic shade matching the overall headband colour.
The ears are shaped felt pieces covered in fine glitter that complements the horn colour. They sit flat and angled slightly outward, giving the headband a clear animal-ear quality that immediately reads as unicorn. The tulle ruff between the ears adds a gathered, fluffy collar of soft pink tulle at the horn base, giving the piece a more decorative, finished quality than a plain horn-on-a-band design. The two fabric flowers with pearl bead centres add the final detail at the front of the display.
The slim flexible headband is designed to sit on the head without gripping too tightly. It will fit most children from toddler age upward and can also be worn by adults at themed events. For children with finer or thinner hair, the headband holds comfortably without needing clips or pins to keep it in place.
Available in 6 Colours
All six versions share the same construction and dimensions. The horn, ears, and flower details are colour-matched or coordinated within each version.
The most popular version. A multi-colour metallic horn in purple, pink, red, orange, yellow and green spiral stripes with gold thread accent. Gold glitter ears and pink tulle ruff with purple and teal fabric flowers. Works with any outfit and any party theme.
A silver metallic horn with silver glitter ears. Finished with a pink tulle ruff and soft pastel fabric flowers. A classic and versatile option that pairs well with white, grey, lavender and most unicorn dress colours.
A shimmering gold metallic horn with gold glitter ears. The warm gold tone coordinates naturally with champagne, ivory, blush pink and yellow outfits. Particularly popular for birthday party wear.
A white horn with gold accenting and silver glitter ears. The clean, bright white suits bridal or formal occasion styling as well as everyday unicorn play. The most understated version in the range.
A metallic pink horn with matching pink glitter ears. Bold and eye-catching, this is the most overtly feminine version and pairs naturally with pink unicorn dresses and pink party themes.
A vibrant blue metallic horn with blue glitter ears. A less common colour choice that stands out in photographs and suits children who prefer blue to pink in their unicorn styling.
What Is This Headband Suitable For?
The headband works as both a standalone accessory and as the finishing touch to a full unicorn costume. On its own, worn with any plain outfit, it immediately suggests the unicorn theme without requiring a full dress. Paired with a unicorn dress, it completes the look with a clear character reference that children and adults both recognise instantly.
For World Book Day, a unicorn headband with a plain dress or a unicorn party dress is one of the most popular and easiest costumes to put together for primary school girls. It requires no face paint, no wig and no complex assembly. For birthday party guest bags, buying several headbands in different colours gives each child something to wear during the party and take home as a keepsake. For photoshoots, particularly cake smash sessions, the tall horn and visible ear detail photograph well even in close-cropped shots.
