The hair bow has a long history, starting long before Lady Gaga’s infamous white blond topper.
From Valentino’s FW05 Couture messy bows to YSL’s FW05 neat, loose bows, the up-do’s been a must (if an under the radar must) for years.
But the clip on hair bows taking over your local drug store since Gaga’s reign started are far too plastic-looking – and weird – to actually attach to one’s head.
We’re taking our inspiration from the hairbows at left, shot by one of our favorite new photographers, Zooey Grossman. High, messy, sexy… much chicer than a messy bun, but just as easy to do.
Click through for a DIY! Note: The only prerequisite is having long hair (obviously).

It looks cute and not as annoying as the rabbit ears that were splashed all over this site last year.
