Tracee Ellis Ross Just Made a Hairnet Summer’s Coolest Hair Accessory — See Photos

If you associate hairnets with lunch ladies, you’re not alone. They exist for practical purposes—namely, keeping hair out of places hair shouldn’t be—and they’re made by brands like Uline, which also makes things like bubble wrap and corrugated cardboard. Most stylish hair accessories don’t come in convenient multipack dispensers, you know? But Tracee Ellis Ross just flipped the script on how hairnets are perceived—and you may find yourself working them into your look by the time you’re done reading this.

The actor and Pattern founder spoke at the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Summit on Tuesday, July 15, where she wore a breezy black and white Khaite ensemble. To work some color into the look, stylist Karla Welch added burgundy Julietta earrings, but perhaps the most unexpected source of vibrance came courtesy of some creativity from hairstylist Chuck Amos.

Amos twisted Ross’s thick hair into a soft yet structured abstract shape, wrapping it in what may very well be fishnet stockings in vivid teal hue. The front of her hair was left un-netted and sleekly pulled back.

An Instagram post from Ross gave us several angles of the incredible creation, and if you don’t gasp with delight at the third slide, you might want to check your pulse.
