Hailey Bieber is giving one of the most recognizable Y2K hair accessories a new spotlight. According to the report, the model and beauty entrepreneur has been seen several times wearing the plastic scalloped comb headband, a style also known as a zig-zag or shark tooth headband.
The accessory showed up more than once in a recent Instagram photo dump, where Bieber wore it in different settings. In one mirror selfie, the matte black headband kept her hair off her face while the rest of her hair stayed loose. In another image, taken during what looked like a workout run, she wore her hair in a bun, letting the headband serve a practical purpose. A third selfie paired the same piece with tiny sunglasses and wired earbuds, leaning even further into the early-2000s feel.
This is not the first time Bieber has leaned into the look. She recently appeared in a Miu Miu campaign wearing a similar accordion-style headband, suggesting the accessory is more than a one-time styling choice. The report notes that Miu Miu has played a major role in the ongoing return of Y2K-inspired fashion, making Bieber’s headband moment feel in step with a broader trend.
Once associated with butterfly clips, roll-on glitter, and old flip phones, the zig-zag headband is now being framed as surprisingly current again. If Bieber keeps wearing it, the report suggests, the style may be well on its way back into everyday rotation.
