Given the influence of Lana Del Rey, Sofia Coppola's Priscilla and the rise of the coquette aesthetic, it's no surprise that hair bows are trending right now. It's official - we've officially entered our lover girl era and this accessory is here to stay. After all, bows and ribbons are the most unreal way to add a dreamy vibe to any outfit.
