I actually do not know. It looks like a bowtie but none I've ever seen before. Like the neck part is clip on but the actual bowtie is a proper self tie? If I am being honest I would NOT wear this tie to almost any event. There are like a handful where I would wear a bowtie, but with a formal shirt. With a normal shirt there are only like two events where I'd wear one, one explicitly costumey and one a "creative" new year's eve party. Anything else ... with a normal dress shirt wear a long tie. If you need a tie in a hurry, go to any department store or any menswear store. Get an inexpensive tie. Probably a minimum of $35-45 will get you something adequate. Or go to thrift stores, great stuff can be found there at times for almost free, but it's a time sink. Then look up how to tie a tie knot online. Four-in-hand is probably the knot you want in most cases. Try to get a tie between 3.25-3.75" wide at the blade and for an average size torso look for 57-59" length. If your torso is long get a longer one if you want, or tie a shorter one with more of the "wide part" hanging down. If you're not tall, a longer tie is a bit annoying but there are fallback options. Anyways if you don't have a friend to help you tie it, give yourself a half hour to practice it.

yeah I've also never seen a tie like this anywhere in my life. I'm just gonna wear a normal red tie then. the event I'm going to is a Christmas school event if you're wondering I'm also gonna sing a performance so this is a big deal for me. anyways thank you for the answer. appreciate it..

Looks like a continental tie. Don't wear it if you don't want to be asked why your tie is weird.
