With a mountain of A-listers flocking to Aspen for their Christmas break, Melanie Griffith figured out pronto how to get noticed.
The Working Girl actress sported a rather flamboyant black winter hat, complete with an oversized ruby red flower attached.
Griffith, 54, was seen shopping with friends during her festive vacation in the Colorado hotspot with husband Antonio Banderas.

The mother-of-three colour coordinated the headgear with the rest of her outfit, opting for a red and black striped sweater to match.
She also showcased a leather handbag slung around her neck and a long bulky knee-length puffer jacket to keep out the chill. Â
Her boots were certainly made for
walking as she avoided heels or fancy footwear, sensibly choosing flat
(and more importantly warm) lace-ups.

The Oscar-nominee was prepared for
all weather, including a hint of sunshine, as she had sunglasses perched
on the collar of her polo neck.
Her shades looked like they had been
pinched from one of the Pink Ladies in Grease as they were
fifties-styled with a Dame Edna rim.
Melanie took a break from the slopes
for some retail therapy, having been seen at the top of Buttermilk
Mountain with Banderas on Wednesday.
The couple, who have been married for 15 years, tried to play the ‘cool parents’ as they entertained their 15-year-old daughter Stella.
Winter chic: Melanie opted for the Colorado destination, just as Paris Hilton and Jack Nicholson did
Aspen has proved a popular holiday
destination among the showbiz elite, with Paris Hilton and her family
visiting, alongside Jack Nicholson too.
It has also been a hit with
musicians, as Mariah Carey, LeAnn Rimes and Matt Bellamy paid a festive
trip to the popular snowy ski resort.
Banderas, 51, is enjoying some well deserved time off after relentlessly promoting Puss In Boots around the globe.
The actor loans his vocals to the title character in the children’s animation alongside Salma Hayek, who plays Kitty Softpaws.
He has also just finished work on Haywire, an upcoming action film directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring Antonio, Michael Douglas, Ewan McGregor, Channing Tatum and Michael Fassbender.
