Suki Waterhouse Wears Silver Hair Tinsel and Tiara on The Tonight Show

other · 2026-09-19

On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Suki Waterhouse showcased her song “Weirdo,” sporting longer-than-clavi-cut blonde locks adorned with fine silver tinsel and choppy bangs, creating a reverse halo effect accentuated by a sparkling tiara. She donned a cropped baby-blue cardigan from Nude Project, high-waisted creamy knickers, and jewelry from Tiffany & Co. Her upcoming album, set for 2024, is titled Memoir of a Sparklemuffin. Hair tinsel, reminiscent of Y2K and the late 1990s hair-extension trend, has origins tracing back to the flapper styles of the 1920s and 1930s. Recently, it has made a comeback in pop culture, with Waterhouse's subtle take being particularly notable. Celebrities like Zendaya and Hailey Bieber are also experimenting with playful hair accessories.
