Gracie Abrams Revives the Puffy Headband Trend

other · 2026-07-17

Pop star Gracie Abrams has been sporting a puffy Alice band as a recurring accessory, swapping out the bandana she wore at Glastonbury 2025. The singer, who released her album Daughter From Hell, paired the black headband with contrasting looks: a vintage Alaïa dress and a floral Chloé bodysuit on Jimmy Fallon, and later with Chanel's resort 2027 collection. The trend, previously favored by Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Middleton, and Blair Waldorf (played by Leighton Meester), is seeing a revival among celebrities like Zoë Kravitz, Dua Lipa, Kim Kardashian, and Elle Fanning. Abrams, a Chanel ambassador, styles the accessory with an edge, often mixing feminine pieces with indie designer Talia Byre's work. Brands like Good Squish, Sophie Buhai, and Lucila Safdie offer similar headbands, while Prada's spring 2019 collection provides further inspiration.
