Once is a move—twice is a trademark. Tessa Thompson proved this point at the opening ceremony of the Venice Film Festival, which saw her pinning wet-look waves in place with the help of a chain choker. The resulting mane moment was the second in a series, each interpretation toeing the line between loose mermaid lengths and sleek updo, the middle ground providing an impossibly romantic third space.
“Tessa Thompson with a choker hair moment that’s becoming a signature for us,” captioned hairstylist Lacy Redway, harkening back to the first iteration at June’s Westworld premiere. For that red carpet, Redway and Thompson opted for a thick black ribbon choker layered over Thompson’s high-gloss waves and bound in a bow at the nape of the neck.

For both looks, textured, face-framing finger waves provided a 1920s-inspired appeal, while the chokers—each supplying wholly different vibes—elicited visions of a Regency Era made modern. As we move toward the holiday downslide, Thompson’s new favorite accessorization makes for a winning aesthetic for parties and coffee runs alike. The best part? It’s easily individualized, with changes of length, texture, and necklace allowing the potential for endless interpretations.
