I thought this was a reference to earlier in the film, after Denzel went to Leto’s apartment and looked around, and Malek asks him if he found a barrette, and Denzel says he might if he had more time to look.

Malek later kills Leto and struggles with the guilt of whether he murdered a regular guy or a serial killer, and Denzel sends Malek the barrette, indicating he went back to the apartment and found it.

He asks him if he found a “red barrette” which is all denzel knows about it.

Denzel later sends him a barrette and then it shows Denzel throwing a multipack of Barrettes in the trash with one missing insinuating that he bought a thing of barrettes and took out the red one and sent it to malek.

Could be he was just trying to put his mind at ease but how would he know to buy the exact same looking barrette as the girl was wearing?
