English term or phrase: Make them do a double-take
Make them do a double-take with this statement-making hair clip for Urban Outfitters.

Ich bin mir im Moment nicht sicher, wie ich "make them do a double take ... for Urban Outfitters" übersetzen soll. Die Haarspange ist auf jeden Fall auffällig und ein "Eyecatcher, Hingucker", so verstehe ich den Satz. Wie würdet Ihr das übersetzen? Danke.

German translation:(hier:) werden Sie zum Hingucker
Explanation:


Hallo Peter,


die wörtliche Übersetzung "zweimal hingucken", oder "zum Staunen/Stutzen bringen", scheint nicht so ideal. "Werden Sie zum Hingucker mit diesem/r..." hat viele deutsche Google-Hits in der Modebranche:


"werden Sie zum Hingucker mit"

agree  Thomas Pfann: Auch die Blicke auf sich ziehen fällt mir noch ein. Welcher dieser Vorschläge „wörtlicher“ als andere ist (oder ob sie gar alle als „wörtliche Übersetzung“ durchgehen), weiß ich nicht. Spielt das denn eine Rolle?
