Balletcore exploded over the last year on the runways (remember Christian Siriano's corset braid?) and on red carpets (like Elle Fanning's sleek bun at the 2024 Golden Globes). Plus, with all the TikTok-core obsessives loving the coquette aesthetic on Instagram, it’s no surprise that hair accessories, like hair bows, ribbons, clips, and ties, will continue to be all the rage. “The bow accessories we saw in 2023 will only be amplified in the coming year with more headbands, clips, and playful feminine hair adornments,” says Justine Marjan, a celebrity hairstylist based in Los Angeles. Whether playing a starring role in a playful bun, high ponytail, or ultra-chic half-up half-down hairstyle like at Chanel’s spring/summer 2024 haute couture show, hair ornaments aren't going anywhere.
