When half a dozen women showed up to the 2018 Golden Globes red carpet wearing some version of a hair accessory, we thought it was a nice coincidence. After all, most celebrities wore all-black in solidarity with the Times Up initiative, so a few flashy accents seemed par for the course.
Then about a month later, Tom Ford sent models down the runway with black leather headbands, Prabal Gurung endorsed functional stretch combs and hairstylist Guido Palau secured custom banana clips into models hair for Alexander Wangs Fall 2018 show.
And finally, as if to round out the trend triptych, came Oscars night, when Lupita Nyongos hairstylist Vernon François weaved gold strands throughout her hair; Andra Day walked the red carpet with dozens of tiny violets in her hair and St. Vincent rocked a huge black flower atop her head.
It was official: The same hair accessories that left painful indentations behind your ears in middle school are making a comeback. How nostalgic!
