Fashion’s love affair with ribbons has officially made its way from the spring runways to the (almost) fall front row, and Emma Watson’s interpretation of the trend more wearable than whimsical. At the Prada’s spring 2024 show in Milan she donned a minimalist ensemble set off by an updo finished in a simple black bow.
The styling and accessories were a dance of the decades, Watson’s Prada mini and pumps quintessentially ’90s, the hair and makeup a nod to the ’60s. Finger-raked and half-up, the actor’s brunette lengths skimmed shoulders, flippy ends teaming with a subtle bouffant to create a modish moment that demanded the adornment of black ribbon. A tiny wing of liner rounded out the mini-Bardot reference.
We already know that black headbands provide a seamless route to sophistication, but now is the time to add a sleek black ribbon to your growing list of must-have autumnal additions. Pretty, playful, and polished, a black bow ties up practically any ensemble.
