For Selena Gomez, a new post-breakup chop is simply phase one—the real staying power of a fresh haircut comes from the styling that follows. This weekend saw the pop star, who is rumored to have split with on-again off-again paramour Justin Bieber, taking to the streets of Los Angeles with multiple variations on the bob that paid homage to a classic throwback '90s hair accessory: the snap barrette.

On Saturday night, Gomez marked an evening out with her raven lengths parted deeply to one side and tucked behind each ear, a slightly flipped-up texture secured by a single clip at one side, all the better to frame above-the-neck details like thick sterling hoops and a bright crimson lip. But rather than employing the clip for a single standout moment, Gomez stepped out Sunday morning in a center-parted style flanked by a duo of silver snaps and those same hoops, her red lipstick swapped for a pinkish-nude shade. Considering that the banana clip made an unequivocal comeback during fall fashion shows, perhaps the time has come to welcome the triangular fasteners into the present-tense lexicon, too.
