Prince Harry's girlfriend Cressida Bonas has made a splash, sporting a scrunchie on numerous occassions. But she’s not the only one to commit the fashion faux pas of the iconic ‘80s hair accessory. From Selena Gomez to Britney Spears, see more stars who are bringing back the scrunchie.

Selena Gomez puts her scrunchie high up, raised on a pedestal on her head. The teen singer is clearly down to help the scrunchie achieve its comeback.

The world worries that the "Burning Man" princess will be no fashion role-model---all thanks to her srunchie fetish. Time to clean up, Cressida. Removing the scrunchie is essential princess protocol.

It's Britney...in a scrunchie...bitch! The singer rocks a red one like a cherry on top of her high pony tail.

Oh Brooke, you can do better than this. As if the side pony-tail wasn't bad enough, she needed to add a big white scrunchie? The scrunchie must be retired from your accessories arsenal, pronto!

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and pro-democracy opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi wore nearly matching white ensembles to dinner at the U.S, Chief of Mission Residence during Clinton’s two-day visit to Burma in Dec. 2011—passé hair accessories included.  But it wasn’t the first time Clinton fancied the updo during her overseas travels this year.

In July 2011, Clinton arrived at the Torrejon de Ardoz military airport near Madrid during another two-day visit with a slightly-less adorned take on the ‘80s scrunchie, which fastened her Flamenco-inspired bun.

And we may have yet to see the end of Hillary Clinton’s 2011 scrunchie show. When she joined Peruvian Prime Minister Salomon Lerner at a press conference in October in D.C., a hefty black scrunchie held her ponytail in position.

As she left New York’s Walter Kerr Theatre in January 2010, Catherine Zeta-Jones accompanied her fur coat and Hermes Birkin bag with a far less glamorous burgundy scrunchie. Despite the faux pas, the screen and stage actress still won a Tony for her performance of A Little Night Music at the theater.

When an emotional Amanda Knox arrived home to cheering supporters at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in Oct. 2011, she briefly addressed the media. Knox thanked those who believed in her throughout her eventually successful fight to overturn her murder conviction in Italy. Considering the 24-year-old woman had just been through a four-year ordeal of epic international proportions, perhaps her fashion choices can be overlooked.

Kate Beckinsale took a trip with her husband and daughter to a California pet shop, where they purchased a new four-legged friend in July 2010. Since the British actress hasn’t been seen with her scrunchie since, perhaps the adorable Yorkie did her a favor and tore it up.

Former Desperate Housewives star Nicollette Sheridan enjoyed an upscale dinner at Madeo’s in L.A. one Saturday night in October 2010 with a friend. From the neck down, her attire seems fitting; but above the pearls, that’s another story.

British starlet Sienna Miller popped up her coat collar and hid behind sunglasses as she walked her dog on a windy morning in New York City. Still, her scrunchie could not evade the paparazzi.

When Madonna attended the 2009 Met Costume Institute Gala in New York City, the “Material Girl” proved that size doesn’t matter—a scrunchie is still a scrunchie. She paired her Louis Vuitton mini-dress with a giant turquoise take on the accessory and though it landed her on many “Worst Dressed” lists for the night, New York magazine thought otherwise. “Madonna shows up looking like a cleaning lady moonlighting as a stripper who washed her Xanax down with one too many margaritas before she changed outfits,” Amy Odell wrote. “And it was a genius, if not very attractive, fashion moment for her and Marc Jacobs, who designed the Louis Vuitton ensemble.”

While promoting her movie Super in March 2011, Liv Tyler stopped by Late Night With Jimmy Fallon and revealed a “lost” 1987 Star Search performance. She may not have inherited the singing talents of her father, Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, but she certainly has the wild hair tendencies down.

…A scrunchie is a scrunchie. Former star of The Hills Audrina Patridge went to the grand opening of Drai’s in Hollywood and must have thought it was an ‘80s-themed affair. Her off-the-shoulder Flashdance top and neon green scrunchie-turned-arm band did not exactly work in October 2010.
