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.

The Best Hair Looks at the 2025 Met Gala

Megan Thee Stallion

Megan Thee Stallion had one of the most talked about hairstyles of the evening. The color was channeling Halle Bailey in The Little Mermaid, but the shape was something all its own.

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.

Kerry Washington

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

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.

Coco Jones

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.

The contrast of Zuri Hall’s slicked-back hair flowing into a bouncy, voluminous, curly ponytail is a work of art. This is a power pony if we’ve ever seen one.
