Zendaya’s Bow Hairstyle: Shop the Accessory

If there’s one thing that Zendaya is going to do, it’s provide the masses with beauty and fashion inspiration. On April 10, the actor attended the UK premiere of her new movie, “Challengers,” wearing a halter-neck Thom Browne dress, a bold red lip, and a gorgeous high ponytail. While she’s usually the one setting trends, Zendaya’s latest look proves that she’s just as obsessed with the hair bow as everyone else.

The accessory, courtesy of the brand Lelet New York and Zendaya’s hairstylist Ursula Stephens, is appropriately called the Zendaya Silk Bow ($164) and was made to perfectly accent her ponytail hairstyle. “There is nothing like double-faced silk,” a representative for the brand wrote in a post on its Instagram stories showing off the bow. “The weight keeps [it] structured while keeping things flowy and the finish is smooth like butter.”

Bows have been having a resurgence lately, thanks in part to the coquette trend that’s been all over TikTok. Interpretations of the hyperfeminine aesthetic can vary, but whether it’s a coquette hairstyle or a manicure, there’s one unifying feature for every iteration of the look: the presence of bows.

Though the hair accessory has often been seen as juvenile, its reclamation has resulted in some stellar looks on runways and red carpets alike. Celebrities like Zoe Kravitz, Priyanka Chopra, and Nicole Kidman have all been spotted with the accessory in their hair, and it was all over the Alice + Olivia show at New York Fashion Week during the fall of 2023. Needless to say, this extremely adorable trend isn’t going anywhere any time soon. If you’re ready for bows to become a mainstay in your hairstyling routine, take a closer look at Zendaya’s braided ponytail below.
