Selena Gomez
Fans had a lot of opinions when the "Fetish" singer stepped out with a massive black scrunchie on her head in October 2013. In our opinion, the black hair accessory tied in well with her modern, all-black ensemble. Just how the sliver of skin broke up Selena's dark top and bottom, the oversize hair band creates a nice contrast between the Coach model's head and sleek fishtail braid.
Fishtail Braid
If you want to try this look in 2017, try a side plait for a more subtle look...unless you want to look like a glamazon. Just like Selena, keep the scrunchie large and in charge—the juxtaposition between the delicate ruffles and crisp lines of the braid is eye-catching. Also like the singer, keep your outfit minimal.

Bella Hadid
Love it or hate it, at a very basic level, scrunchies get the job done: They get hair out of your face! When you're working out or just want to look like you did, like Bella, put on your best athleisure ensemble and wear your most trendy half-up half-down hairstyle.
Half-Up Half-Down
For a fresher take on Bella's look, opt for thinner, 100 percent silk scrunchies to tie up your hair. Not only will this feel more comfortable, but silk ties don't put dents in or damage your hair, which means when you're ready to let your tresses loose, they'll look healthy and ready to go. Bonus: You can wear this look to the gym and beyond!

Jennifer Lopez
Leave it to J.Lo to match her mirrored sunnies to her hair accessory. (Plus, a red lip! And statement earrings!) It's bold, and therefore, cool. The key to this look: Wear it with confidence.
High Bun
While Jennifer's hair looks sleek and shiny, those of us without a glam squad (or time) can make it as messy as our strands allow. Flyaways and tendrils give the look dimension. Bonus points if you can find a scrunchie with texture. Just make sure your sunnies match!

Zoe Saldana
The Guardians of the Galaxy actress didn't wear a scrunchie to the 2017 Met Gala, but she did incorporate floral details to complement her long, braided ponytail. Let's just say she really inspired us.
Twisted Pony
Instead of doing a traditional braid like Zoe, opt for a low, twisted pony straight down your back. Prep you hair with texturizing spray, to create grit (so your hair holds). Then, simply split your hair into two equal parts and start twisting the strands together in one direction 'til you get to the hair ends. Secure with an elastic band, then a patterned scrunchie. Optional: Insert bobby pins at the top of the braid to help stabilize the twist. Pro tip: Wear a top with a low back line for visually stunning effect.
