Is this the season of the Y2K hair accessory? From kitschy butterfly clips to scrunchies and chunky headbands, we’re seeing the return of all the best noughties accessories. This time, Bella Hadid was spotted sporting a statement headband many of us left in the early aughts — reconfirming that nostalgic trends won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.
While heading to Gigi's birthday party, the supermodel wore a plastic stretch comb headband, adding a nostalgic accent to her dark pinstripe mini skirt and vest ensemble. Ever the Y2K poster girl, Bella could have opted for the zigzag parts, headscarves, or streaky highlights that she’s become known for, instead, she incorporated the headband as a sleeker, more simplistic take on the trend. It served as the ultimate accessory to complement her 'fit.
Maddy Perez, played by Alexa Demie, in the hit HBO drama Euphoria, can also be seen in the season two premiere sporting the headband at a New Year’s Eve party. Paired with an LBD, matching gloves, and strappy heels, there’s something incredibly effortless, fun, and sexy about it.
Luckily, those of us who want to try the trend ourselves can purchase this noughties accessory at a price probably less than your daily lunch order. And while you might cringe at the idea of reincorporating what many of us deemed a rather uncomfortable accessory in the ’90s, expect the current offerings to fit a bit more comfortably while still maintaining that combed-at-the-roots look. Because at the end of the day, beauty should be fun — but it doesn’t have to be painful.
