Hailey Bieber Keeps Bringing Back This Runway-Approved Drugstore Accessory

THE RUNDOWN

• Hailey Bieber shared photos from summer on Instagram.
• The model and Rhode founder wore a black zigzag headband.
• The throwback accessory is the latest ’90s trend to reenter the fashion lexicon.

Drawing inspiration from the runways can be daunting—and downright expensive. Fortunately, not every trend demands an investment piece. Allow Hailey Bieber to demonstrate.

This summer, the model and Rhode founder has doubled—and tripled—down on the humble zigzag hairband, a nostalgic drugstore staple that’s quietly reentered the style zeitgeist. (Fellow cool girls Bella Hadid and Alexa Demie are also fans.) While the exact maker of Bieber’s favorite version remains unknown, she’s demonstrated just how versatile the squiggle-comb can be. She’s used it to push her chestnut-brown long bob back while wearing everything from elevated athleisure to low-rise white jeans and a camel baby tee that channels peak Carolyn Bessette Kennedy during her Calvin Klein era.

In large part, the stretch-comb headband owes its second coming to Miu Miu’s fall/winter 2026 runway, where Miuccia Prada elevated the plastic zigzag band from middle-school relic to bona fide fashion accessory. Worn across the collection with softly pushed-back hair, the piece was the ultimate high-low when paired with leather car coats and shag minidresses.

Bieber likely owes her recent fixation on the hairband to her role in Miu Miu’s fall/winter 2026 campaign, where it accompanied babydoll dresses, leather topcoats, and low-rise satin pants.

Turns out, this season’s most coveted accessory might not be a handbag or a shoe—it’s a drugstore throwback.
