At the Met Gala 2025, Jennie was elegantly styled in black and white Chanel, as we should all come to expect of the coiffed Chanel house ambassador.

But when she turned around, underneath her jaunty hat was a delightful hair bow—a simple yet stylish, very Jennie hairstyle. Her hairstyle’s meticulous shape was a glam and more feminine nod to the “tailored for you” theme and the details that make the Black dandy aesthetic so awe-inspiring to look at.

Jennie’s love of bows is well-documented, from frilled and bow-adorned dresses for her pop performances to everyday braids with big velvet bow hair accessories. It’s a sweet and playful beauty signature.

Olivier Schawalder—who has crafted the hairdos of Dua Lipa and Rosalia, and the hair for campaigns for brands including Dior and Chanel—was the hairstylist responsible for Jennie’s tailored bow style for the night.

Still, it’s not Jennie’s first time at the bow rodeo—it’s a detail she often turns to for moments in need of elegance. For The Idol’s premiere—the TV series she appeared in alongside Lily Rose Depp and her on-screen debut—she wore an ultra-feminine black Chanel gown, with her hair in a long braid down her back. The plait was fastened with two black velvet bows. On another occasion at Cannes Film Festival, Jennie wore her hair up in a chic chignon with a silk black bow, and another with her brunette hair left long and straight, teased at the top and topped off with a black bow Alice band a la Priscilla Presley. These red carpet moments have taken her more playful beauty aesthetic into the upper echelons of old Hollywood glamour

And of course, as a devoted Chanel ambassador, there’s bows, on bows, on bows.

On more casual days, the bow persists: For one selfie posted to Instagram, Jennie wore her hair in milkmaid braids, held together with two mini black bows—about the same size as her teeny tiny Chanel purse that she also toted.
