The ribbon and bow trend has taken the TikTok-sphere by storm, becoming a beloved sight for fashion enthusiasts across the globe. Originating from the runways of renowned high-end fashion brands like Simone Rocha and Sandy Liang, this trend has gracefully made its seamless transition to the vibrant realm of TikTok. With its captivating charm, it has managed to capture the hearts of the coquettecore girls, as well as those who appreciate the adorably cute and innocent femme vibe it exudes. The phenomenon of micro trends on TikTok has undoubtedly played a pivotal role in amplifying the popularity of this trend, bringing “ribbonmania” to almost everyone’s For You Page.

Jisoo’s Braided Twintails with Mini Ribbon Accents

However, during her “Liar” performance in Manila, Jisoo adorned her signature braided twintails with tiny red bows, strategically pinned at the ends. This seemingly delicate addition breathed a small burst of feminine energy into her overall appearance, which also served as a seamless complement to her striking red two-piece ensemble from the brand Fancì Club.
