Calling all boho babes, sparkle aficionados and classic prepsters alike: We've got a style you can all agree on.
It's the burgeoning trend of hair accessories.
But there's no need to freak out. We're not referring to the poofy, unsubtle scrunchies of your youth or even the unadorned bobby pins and simple black hair ties you lose on the daily (rest in peace, hair ties...wherever you are).
Instead, we've got our eyes on the oh-so-chic headbands, romantic flower crowns, sparkly tiaras and adorned combs that have been gracing runways and celebrity craniums alike. The idea is about getting in touch with your inner kid while owning the look with grown-up confidence.
Our favorite celebrity looks are below, along with some shopping inspiration to get you started. Have fun!
Wrap it up
Do as the princess of pop did, and wrap up your 'do in a turban-style headband. They're simple to throw on and can be as colorful or camouflaged as you desire. We love the retro-Americana vibe they give off, and the sizable width is perfect for days when your hair isn't quite cooperating.

Add some sparkle
Follow in Zendaya's footsteps (on the red carpet of the Met Ball, no less) and add some glitz to your look with metallic adornments and sparkling faux crystals. Sure, you can save this look for an evening party, but it'd work just as well to amp up the style factor of your favorite tee-and-jeans ensemble. Whether you're going for a pretty pop of pizzazz or you're trying to glam up a vintage-inspired princess look, a a bit of shimmer should be your new best friend.

Stay young
Admit it: Hair bows are the best. You miss those things. And just because your mom doesn't dress you anymore, doesn't mean you can't go out and get a few of your own. They're a charming, tongue-in-cheek nod to your youth with enough hipster grit to keep you looking appropriately your age. We recommend going with subdued, dull colors to balance the twee factor with some grounded, street-smart glamour.

Glam up your inner flower child
Everything Chrissy Teigen touches turns to gold. So it's no wonder we're looking to emulate one of her most recent looks: A few large blooms of a magenta-colored orchid positioned just behind her ear, seemingly holding up her entire hairdo. Presumably, Teigen wore real, freshly-picked flowers on the red carpet (as many brides do on their big day), but it's entirely possible to recreate her look without planning a trip to your local florist.

Keep it simple
Lena Dunham is just one of dozens of celebs who often sport simple barrettes to keep their locks in place. If you're not feeling quite up to the challenge of wearing a ginormous flower in your hair or attracting attention with an ultra-shiny clip, we recommend trying one of these easy-to-wear alternatives. The trick is to wear it in a prominent location, rather than wearing it for purely utilitarian reasons. Let it have its moment in the spotlight, and you'll reap the benefits (and compliments).
