Channel Lupita Nyong’o’s Gele Style With These Chic Accessories

Thanks to some of our favorite celebs, hair accessories are having a major moment. Last month, Solange adorned her locks with 20 contour clips (we counted) on Instagram. Empire actress Serayah styled her high ponytails in thick scrunchies for a fun photo shoot. And Lupita Nyongo recently hit the red carpet in a beautiful gele wrap. Anyone else dying to add this accessory to their fall wardrobe? Wraps, turbans and scarves are perfect for disguising bad hair days and adding pizazz to protective styles. We’ve already gathered grown-up barrettes for you to rock, so it’s only fitting that we offer a few options for recreating Lupita’s standout style. Check out some of our favorites below!
