Snakeskin
Leopard print wares and accessories were huge in 2018, but an edgier and arguably cooler animal print took over in 2019. Snakeskin had a ubiquitous presence this year from the street to the red carpet. Kim Kardashian West, Cardi B and Kendall Jenner were all celebs who wore the trend in rotation via sexy dresses to wearable separates.

Mini Bag
Throughout 2019, stars have been toting around mini bags in which they can only stuff cards, a phone and maybe a lipstick. It girls like Gigi Hadid and Kylie Jenner have carried the adorable minute purse style everywhere. However, Lizzo showed off the most teeny-tiny design from Valentino at the AMAs, which could probably just fit a penny.

Euphoria Makeup
The boundary-breaking HBO teen drama, which premiered this summer, had the internet obsessed with the head-turning beauty looks on the show, created by the series' head makeup artist, Doniella Davy (whose Instagram is filled with BTS photos of her work). There was no shortage of glitter, rhinestones, negative space eyeliner and watercolor eyeshadow in bright shades rocked by characters like Rue, played by Zendaya, Jules, played by Hunter Schafer, and Maddy, played by Alexa Demie -- convincing fans that makeup looks usually associated with high-fashion editorial can be worn IRL.

Hair Accessories
Barrettes, pins and headbands, oh my! So many celebs like Ashley Graham, Jessica Alba and Bebe Rexha rocked accessories atop their heads for that extra statement flair and a little throwback vibe. From crystal and pearl to resin designs, hair accessories had a recognizable resurgence this year. (It was seen everywhere on social media, too.)
GET THE LOOK:
High Ponytails
Blame it on Ariana Grande, but the high ponytail hairstyle became a big red carpet trend this year. Stars like Hailey Bieber and Jennifer Lopez chose snatched, doll-like ponytails for major events. We recommend rocking this style with a stunning holiday dress or jumpsuit for Christmas and New Year's Eve.
