Pair of Girls Black Ribbon Style Bow Hair Beak Clips Slides

Product Information

Amid the sparkle, dampened waves, and slicked coiffures, the black hair bow is the clear spotlight stealer. It’s not surprising that so many of the celebrities attending turned to black bows – they are, after all, synonymous with Chanel, the fashion house where Karl Lagerfeld, who was honoured at this year’s Met Gala, was at the helm for years. Try Moroccanoil's Dry Texture Spray to add body and shine without crunch and Ouai's Matte Pomade for a medium hold that adds texture and depth to the look.

Whether you add a bow barette to a half-up hairstyle, tie your ponytail in a pretty bow or go for an outsized look for extra drama, there are so many ways to wear this trend. We’re talking about the black hair bow, which was seen on celebrities from Sydney Sweeney (who wore a ginormous bow above tumbling curls) to Priyanka Chopra, who had a complicated updo incorporating pretty black ribbon.

The epitome of red carpet glamour, the model chose to accessorise her sleek high ponytail with a black satin bow.

This year’s Venice Film Festival has been a spectacle, and the hair and makeup moments are no exception. Hair ribbons have been an aesthetic mainstay this year, serving pretty power that feels both timeless and just-like-new. The Met Gala is known for its wild and outrageous fashion, and while there were many outfits from the 2023 event that we wouldn’t consider particularly wearable (Jared Leto’s cat costume, we’re looking at you), there was one accessory trend that stood out for its everyday practicality.

Next came Sydney Sweeney, who attended the Bones And All premiere in black-bowed Armani, her hair pulled into a polished half-updo finished with an exaggerated and impossibly chic version of the staple accessory.And it was followed up at Balmain in Paris where lead hair stylist, Sam McKnight, created “vertibows” or vertical bows out of the models' hair. If you think baked chicken and cabbage sounds, well, a bit pedestrian, this is definitely not the case. And for Tessa Thompson, a similarly mirrored moment took shape in a tautly-pulled ponytail, a black ribbon trailing between her shoulder blades.
