Overview
- Miu Miu reintroduced the plastic zig‑zag headband as a repeated styling detail in its autumn/winter 2026 shows, where hairstylist Guido Palau used the bands to shape spiky pixies and tame greased‑back hair.
- Over the Paris Fashion Week weekend, which concluded Sunday, Gigi Hadid left the Miu Miu show wearing a tortoiseshell zig‑zag band and other It‑girls including Becky Armstrong and Ella Bright were photographed in the same accessory.
- Earlier sightings of the headband on public outings by Hailey Bieber, Bella Hadid and Alexa Demie helped build momentum for the comeback before the Paris shows.
- The band’s renewed appeal mixes nostalgia with function: it was a mainstream 1990s staple valued for a strong non‑slip grip that keeps hair in place all day.
- If runway and celebrity attention continues, the headband could move quickly into wider retail and everyday styling, likely driving demand for both high‑end and mass‑market versions and shaping model‑off‑duty looks this season.
