American entertainer JoJo Siwa has captivated audiences worldwide, but her journey began long before her appearance on Celebrity Big Brother. Her rise to fame started with a children's dance competition show in the United States, which eventually led to her starring role on Dance Moms, a reality series that also launched Maddie Ziegler’s career. JoJo's charm and talent quickly turned her into a YouTube sensation, propelling her into a successful music career kickstarted in 2016 with her debut single.

In addition to her singing success, JoJo became synonymous with oversized hair accessories during her teenage years. Her signature bows, introduced through a collaboration with Claire’s Accessories, sparked a fashion trend among young students across the UK. These accessories, priced at up to £12 each, were so popular that they inspired imitations and even homemade versions by enthusiastic parents. In a conversation with CBBC’s Newsround, JoJo expressed her affection for bows, describing them as symbols of confidence and empowerment rather than mere hair decorations.

Despite their positive connotations, the widespread popularity of these bows led some schools to impose bans due to concerns over distractions and uniform violations. Nonetheless, JoJo's bow line sold over 90 million units globally. Reflecting on this phenomenon during a recent podcast appearance, she noted the lasting impact of her accessories in the UK, where they remain banned in certain educational settings. Today, fans can still acquire these iconic bows, either as new purchases or via secondhand platforms like eBay and Vinted. JoJo's story highlights how creativity and self-expression can lead to significant cultural influence, inspiring others to embrace their unique styles.
