If you need salon inspiration to take you thring this summer, the 2026 Met Gala delivered a night of sculptural silhouettes, polished glamour and modern elegance on the red carpet. Celebrity hairstylist Bryce Scarlett created standout looks for Margot Robbie and Daisy Edgar-Jones using Goldwell and KMS Hair. From sleek architectural twists to soft voluminous waves, each look balanced refinement with effortless movement for fashion’s biggest night.
How To: Margot Robbie’s Defined Twisted Updo
For Margot Robbie’s 2026 Met Gala appearance, Bryce Scarlett created a sleek, twisted updo using Goldwell, drawing inspiration from her structured gown that fused minimalism with sculptural design. The finished style featured polished texture, soft definition and a refined vertical twist.
Step 1: Starting with towel-dried hair, apply Goldwell StyleSign Air-Dry BB Cream through the mid-lengths and ends to smooth frizz and control texture. At the roots, apply Goldwell StyleSign Everyday Blow-Dry Spray to create lift and support.
Step 2: Blow-dry the hair using a medium round brush, slightly rolling the ends inward to create a soft bend and polished finish.
Step 3: Once dry, spray Goldwell StyleSign Blowout & Texture Spray generously throughout the hair to add subtle grit, separation and definition to the ends.
Step 4: Direct the hair to one side and begin rolling the gathered section inward toward the crown, forming a vertical barrel shape. As the hair is rolled, fold it into itself and secure with pins spaced evenly from the nape upward along the twist.
Step 5: Finish the look by using a small amount of Goldwell StyleSign Defining Wax to softly shape the bangs with the fingers for a sleek yet touchable finish.
How To: Daisy Edgar-Jones’ Voluminous Soft Waves
Bryce Scarlett also created Daisy Edgar-Jones’ polished, voluminous hairstyle for the 2026 Met Gala using KMS Hair. The look combined soft movement with refined texture, delivering modern glamour with an effortless feel.
Step 1: On clean, towel-dried hair, apply KMS Hair AddVolume Root and Body Lift directly at the roots, starting at the nape and working upward to create structure and lift. For the bangs, apply a small amount at the base and lift them forward off the forehead to enhance fullness.
Step 2: Work two to three drops of KMS Hair AllSmooth Intense Nourishing Oil through the mid-lengths and ends to smooth the cuticle and lock in moisture before blow-drying.
Step 3: Using a medium boar bristle round brush, blow-dry the hair in two-inch sections starting at the nape. Focus heat at the roots and mid-lengths while maintaining natural movement through the ends. Use a smaller round brush on the bangs, directing them forward first before sweeping them away from the face on either side of a center part.
Step 4: Once dry, curl the hair using a 1.5-inch curling iron. Wrap small sections around the barrel, then release to create relaxed, modern waves. Separate select pieces to add texture and dimension.
Step 5: Apply a few additional drops of KMS Hair AllSmooth Intense Nourishing Oil through the hair to break up the curls and smooth flyaways. Brush the hair out with a flat boar bristle brush for a soft, cohesive finish, then set with KMS Hair HairStay Working Hairspray at the roots for lift and hold. Lightly mist the bangs and shape them into place using the fingers.
