While "babushka" is officially defined and understood in the fashion and beauty world as a triangularly folded scarf that's worn on your head, the word is all grandma to me. This is mostly because I call my Russian-speaking grandma "babushka," which is a direct translation. Her passion for dressing me in the style as a child also helps the situation. Childhood memories aside, it appears the babushka is back in style thanks to Billie Eilish. On Saturday, November 4, the singer wore the accessory to the 2023 LACMA Art+Film Gala, setting the tone for plenty of cold-weather hairstyles to come.
