At Oscar De La Renta's fall 2019 show during New York Fashion Week, models such as Bella Hadid walked the runway wearing one of this year's biggest beauty crazes: barrettes!

Editor's Picks

Barrettes and clips adorned with jewels, rhinestones, and pearls were all spotted embellishing pulled-back shiny ponytails.

While the look was front and center at one of Fashion Week's most anticipated shows, it's a trend that started to pick up speed with fashion-forward women everywhere late last year.

The barrettes we are seeing now aren't the big plastic colorful ones you might have worn as a child, but they are more grown-up and styled in a way to give your hairstyle an elevated wow factor.

In case you aren't totally sold on the barrette trend, you might change your mind after seeing just how stylish the street style stars, fashion influencers, and everyday women just ahead are rocking their beautiful barrettes, cute hair clips, and precious jewels.

Fashion to me was never always about trends, it has always been about making your own trends and wearing what makes you feel like you! ?? With that said, I removed the belt from this trench coat and wore a corset over it instead ?? Why did I do that? Well because I wanted to lol and I love the look ?? It’s okay to follow a trend but it’s cool to just do your own thing as well ?? happy #NYFW babes yesterday’s look ?? #hairpins #bobbypins

Feeling extra Matrix in this outfit ??Loving my new bag from @nellycom The amount of back pain that it took to take is picture is crazy. At least it doesn’t show. But if any one has any good advice on exercise I can do for back pain I would be highly grateful ?????? • • • • • #femmeblk#fashion#style#shopping#nastygal#tan#tanoutfit#cameloutfit#blackblogger#jewelry#makeup#love#food#weekend#sunday#naturalhair#boxbraids#newyork#zara#hmxme#topshop#asos#habesha#stockholm#södermalm#ginatricot#anellything#nellycom
