'''Lain's hairclip''' - proven on the cover of the [[Visual Experiments Lain]] artbook and in some concept sketches to be this, and not a hair tie as many [[Fanworks|fans]] believe - is one of the defining items in [[Iwakura Lain]]'s appearance. Indeed, throughout the [[Serial Experiments Lain (anime)|anime]] and [[Serial Experiments Lain (game)|game]], Lain is never seen without this hairclip.

However, in the anime the hairclip is never even seen being unfolded into its distinctive cross shape: despite its uniqueness, Lain's hairclip plays no part as a plot device.
