A headband is a simple hair accessory — unless it is the one Jenna Ortega wore to explain her childhood Halloween costume. On Late Night with Seth Meyers in October 2026, she recalled dressing as a rock in a spray-painted styrofoam outfit, and adding a headband that said ‘rock’ so people would know what she was supposed to be. The labelled headband became the story’s beloved punchline, and the standard against which Seth Meyers judged his own unlabelled trash-bag costume.
