Zara Phillips has been spotted wearing a hairnet, and people do not approve. ‘Zara swaps tiara for Corrie hairnet’ runs one headline, with the article comparing her to Coronation Street’s Ena Sharples. I think we can all agree that a hairnet, on its own and minus a hat, isn’t the best look in the world.
Mind you, having said that, I do know certain men who think hairnets are ‘rather sexy’. I suppose it takes all sorts – and it is the sort of thing that someone in a Jilly Cooper novel might say. I imagine that Rupert Campbell-Black, for instance, might have a thing for hairnets.
Anyway, I’ll admit now that I’ve spent an awful lot of time trying to avoid a ‘real’ hairnet.
