CLASSIC CLAW CLIPS, LIKE CLAIRO
Clairo's razor cut shag is an influential cut, with its soft curls and cutesy bags. For her Charm tour, she's generally worn it out and free, but on-stage you'll sometimes see her sporting a practical claw clip in a half-up, half-down look.

CLIP AND SLIDE(S)
Beabadoobee is known for her experimental hair, from earlier blue/green/red shades to today's shiny jet black style with bangs. She doesn't often wear accessories, preferring to keep her long hair free, but sometimes will opt for 90s style slides or clips paired with tiny braids.
Charli xcx's brat era hair was all about big, long masses of hair rather than accessories, but the superstar has embraced vintage-style clips in the past (this was from 2020) that work in with her club kid aesthetic.
