Fashionistas are swarming an NYC pharmacy to snatch Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s coveted, iconic headband

She’s still turning heads — and inspiring headbands.
Nearly three decades after Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s life was cut short in a devastating plane crash, her chic, minimalist and unfussy style legacy lives on — and Gen Z can’t get enough.
A $36, ¾-inch tortoiseshell headband made by French hair accessory brand Charles J. Wahba and famously worn by the style icon in the ’90s has become one of the hottest summer accessories — thanks to a recent social-media moment.
As a result, fashion mavens are now swarming C.O. Bigelow pharmacy in the West Village — where the exact headband is still sold — to emulate her elegant, effortless look.
“I think the first TikTok video about the headbands [and their association with CBK] was made by somebody from the Netherlands who was visiting New York City in 2023,” owner Ian Ginsberg told The Post.
While Ginsberg can’t pinpoint exactly when the store began selling the French-made headbands, he said they were likely there “way before” CBK started buying them.
