Perched right atop her retro, flipped-out ponytail, Hailey Bieber’s hair bow is indeed super campy — but not unwearable. The floppy structure of the bow keeps it a little casual, while the positioning is party-ready.Taylor Hill/FilmMagic/Getty Images
BLACKPINK’s Rosé has a long-documented love affair with hair bows, especially thin, dainty ribbons incorporated into a half-up look. The smaller bow doesn’t overpower her always-sleek looks but still stands out against her signature pink-tinted platinum hair color.@roses_are_rosie
Zoë Kravitz has killed it at the Met Gala every time she’s attended, but her big tweed hair bow circa 2018 is an all-time classic. Fixed to her voluminous braided bun, the bow’s oversized loops and tails can be seen from every angle.Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Hair ribbons don’t necessarily have to be stand-out centerpieces — they can simply complement an otherwise casual look, as Emily Ratajkowksi and her loose side braid perfectly demonstrate. The small satin ribbon adds just the right level of French-girl flair.Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Rihanna’s creativity knows no bounds — so of course her take on a “hair bow” is at once very literal and beyond whimsical. For a major Fenty campaign, the star had her long, glossy braids styled into bows around her head, making it clear that her presence is the best present of all.@badgalriri
Anya Taylor-Joy loves to serve up fanciful hair and makeup looks so of course she’s experimented with bows and ribbons. Her big blue bow at a summertime event is one-part Alice In Wonderland, one-part major movie star.David M. Benett/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Why settle for just one bow when you could go all in? Gemma Chan dressed up her long, braided ponytail with two matching ribbons — one tied at the base of the pony to help secure it, and one at the very end, delicately trailing her dress’ ruffle.Presley Ann/FilmMagic/Getty Images
Kate Middleton might just be the ultimate preppy aesthetic inspiration, and her effortless velvet hair bow is proof. The perfect fall and winter accessory, it’s even a spot-on (yet subtle) match to the black piping seen in her outfit.Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
More than a little fairytale-worthy, Kerry Washington’s white hair bow is actually the easiest way to do the trend thanks to the headband it’s attached to. Not only is it a fun and fresh accessory, but the band only further emphasizes the major volume at her crown.picture alliance/picture alliance/Getty Images
Just spotted on the red carpet, Margot Robbie’s full-sized hair bow was made for the holiday party circuit. Just barely visible, peeking around the sides of her tousled half-up hair, it’s at once low-key and completely memorable. John Phillips/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
