When Sam McKnight secured model’s side ponytails in customised ‘CC’ neon hair ties at the Chanel Spring/Summer 2017 last year, the hairstylist instantly raised the cred of the humble hair tie. And while his handcrafted details were never meant to hit counters, it was only a matter of time before copycat acts ensued, and pops of neon re-entered the beauty zeitgeist.

First IT-girl off the rank? Gigi Hadid, who was snapped on the streets of New York with her signature low ponytail wrapped with a bright yellow hair tie. Paired against an all-grey ensemble, Hadid’s neon addition stood out on the mid-winter, Manhattan day – but that wasn’t the only pop-of-colour power play for the model this week.

The following day, Hadid emerged from her apartment with a coat of opaque, red lipstick popping off her monochromatic outfit.
