The 2025 Met Gala is upon us, and with it, a feast for the eyes. Of course, it’s fashion’s biggest night, but the beauty elements bring the looks to life. The theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” an expression of Black dandyism, has inspired some of the most dynamic Met looks we’ve seen in years from head to toe. We’re celebrating some of our favorite hairstyles from the 2025 Met Gala here.

Natasha Lyonne

Natasha Lyonne is known for her big, bold red hair, and tonight, she really took it out on the town, embracing the frizz, curls and all. This look is like if Cousin Itt had a celebrity hairstylist, and we mean that in the best way.

At first glance, Kerry Washington’s ivory hat took our breath away, and when we looked closer and clocked her long side bubble pony, her fate as one of the best hair looks of the night was sealed.

Lisa’s big, bold, messy bun harkens back to the iconic '90s Pamela Anderson look, AKA the best messy bun of all time. The piecey bangs and caramel color give the look a glamorous edge.

Forget Rapunzel—Coco Jones is the princess with a long braid that we want to talk about. Her slicked-back braid trails her entire body, making it an accessory all its own.
