Pair of Girls Black Ribbon Style Bow Hair Beak Clips Slides

Product Information

As far as bows go, Russell recommends brands like Lelet and Jennifer Behr, since they're easy to use. 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. The opening soirée saw Julianne Moore sparking the trend in subtle guise, her glossy burnished waves bound in a low ponytail with the help of a thin black ribbon. When it came to accessories, celebrities chose to honour Karl Lagerfeld's legacy with black hair bows at the Met Gala 2023.

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. 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.It makes sense, as black bows were a popular motif for Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, alongside pearls and camellias, and her successor went on to not only popularise them, but put them firmly back on the fashion agenda. This week’s reds from Argentina and Australia are party-pleasing, palate-cuddling favourites that provide the perfect touch of cheery warmth on a chilly night. Plus, there’s a timeless appeal about a black hair bow, whether you’re walking the red carpet, attending a party or simply want to jazz up your everyday look with a feminine touch that’s not overly girly (pink bows on adults are a bit much, but black? As if proof were needed, the red carpet shrugged off its schoolgirl connotations and showcased bows in various sophisticated iterations that leant more than a touch of French-Girl cool to the proceedings.

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. Case in point, Emily Ratajkowski, who sported an oversized bow, wavy extensions and a new short choppy fringe. Sydney Sweeney's kittenish take on the look is reminiscent of Claudia Schiffer’s iconic '90s Chanel runway look but with a touch of Madonna thrown in for good measure courtesy of the organza texture and placement. Try to source a pointed, sweetheart or hispi cabbage for this recipe – the loose structure of the leaves means they suit roasting very well.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. Celebrities like Ariana Grande have been riding the bow trend particularly hard for the past few years, while TikTok's obsession with preppy style, plus the cutesy coquette and balletcore trends, have each adopted bows as a signature move. Billie Eilish took a walk on the dark side with a glossy goth look that translated into raven black hair, bejewelled hair slides and a long black bow that was plaited into her waist-length hair. This year’s Venice Film Festival has been a spectacle, and the hair and makeup moments are no exception. Bold and velvety reds along with warming spicy tipples are my go-to choices for crisp evenings and firework frolics.

And for something a little bit stronger, try a Palo Cortado dry sherry – a delectable alternative to whisky – or a cheeky canned negroni. And for Tessa Thompson, a similarly mirrored moment took shape in a tautly-pulled ponytail, a black ribbon trailing between her shoulder blades. The epitome of red carpet glamour, the model chose to accessorise her sleek high ponytail with a black satin bow. Celebrity hairstylist Gregory Russell—the man behind Anya Taylor-Joy’s hair—says he loves bows as an easy way to dress up hair and add a ’60s feel.Amid the sparkle, dampened waves, and slicked coiffures, the black hair bow is the clear spotlight stealer. Hair ribbons have been an aesthetic mainstay this year, serving pretty power that feels both timeless and just-like-new.
