Lovers of the “quiet luxury” trend and ‘90s nostalgia, rejoice—an astute TikToker has discovered that the exact headbands worn by eternal fashion icon Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy are still available at C.O. Bigelow in Manhattan's Greenwich Village.
The Sixth Avenue shop opened as a true apothecary in 1838. Since then, the store has expanded to include an in-house line of beauty, wellness, and lifestyle products—including the flat-band tortoiseshell headband that Bessette-Kennedy used to hold back her golden-blonde hair.

The CBK nostalgia has reached a fever pitch because of the forthcoming Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, which begins tonight on FX and will be streaming on Hulu. While we don’t know if actor Sarah Pigeon (who was cast to play Bessette-Kennedy) will be wearing a headband in the series, at least it would be easy to source.
A representative from C.O. Bigelow confirms that Bessette-Kennedy was “a frequent shopper” and that the style she's wearing in the famed paparazzi shot actually comes in two different versions: the classic, thicker one seen in the photo, and a thinner one. Both come in shades like tortoise, Tokyo (beige and white), demi-blonde (yellowy beige), bone, and leopard print, and cost between $20 and $30.
While only a few designs of the headbands are available to shop on C.O. Bigelow's website, the team noted that it will take phone orders—appropriately ’90s, we think!
