Fashion’s biggest night returned in full force as the 2026 Met Gala brought together A-list celebrities, boundary-pushing fashion and, of course, unforgettable hair moments. Held at the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art, this year’s event delivered a mix of sculptural styling, high-shine finishes and bold texture. Here are some of the standout hair looks from the night.
Sabrina Carpenter
Leaning into vintage glamour, Sabrina Carpenter debuted a tucked faux bob created by celebrity hairstylist Evanie Frausto. The softly sculpted look gave the illusion of shorter hair while maintaining length and volume, perfectly complementing her custom Dior gown crafted from film.
Emma Chamberlain
Emma Chamberlain made a bold statement with a platinum blonde pixie cut by Sami Knight. The sharp, modern crop paired seamlessly with her custom Mugler gown, hand-painted by Anna Deller-Yee and inspired by The Starry Night and The Scream—a true fusion of art and beauty.
Katy Perry
Katy Perry embraced sleek simplicity with ultra-long, straight black hair styled by Andrew Ly. The glass-like finish added contrast to her dramatic Stella McCartney gown and mirrored mask, proving that minimal styling can still make maximum impact.
Connor Storrie
Serving one of the most artistic men’s looks of the evening, Connor Storrie wore a Greek statue-inspired textured crop by Candice Birns. The sculptural finish paired effortlessly with a custom androgynous ensemble by Saint Laurent.
Chase Infiniti
Big, bold texture defined Chase Infiniti’s look, with voluminous styling by Coree Moreno. The hair’s movement and fullness balanced a colourful sequin gown by Thom Browne, creating a playful yet editorial finish.
La La Anthony
As a Met Gala livestream host, La La Anthony turned heads with Jessica Rabbit-inspired copper hair by Dionte Gray. The rich tone and voluminous styling added drama to her brown crystal-embroidered gown by Wiederhoeft.
Tate McRae
Making her Met Gala debut, Canadian pop star Tate McRae opted for bombshell golden blonde hair styled by Andrew Ly. The soft, glamorous waves paired beautifully with her custom gold gown by Ludovic de Saint Sernin.
Rihanna
Never one to miss a moment, Rihanna stunned with a wet-look slicked-back bob by Yusef Williams. Adorned with custom accessories by Jennifer Behr, the look elevated her hand-sculpted Maison Margiela gown covered in jewels and pearls.
Simone Ashley
Simone Ashley embraced intricate detailing with an updo by Peter Lux, featuring baby bangs and tassel-like ponytails. The avant-garde style paired seamlessly with her chainmail dress by Stella McCartney.
A$AP Rocky
Among the standout men’s looks, A$AP Rocky showcased intricate braided cornrows by Tashana Miles. The precise braiding added texture and edge to his Chanel runway look, reinforcing the continued evolution of men’s red carpet hair.
From sculptural crops to glossy, high-shine finishes, this year’s Met Gala proved that hair remains a central part of storytelling on the red carpet—offering endless inspiration in the salon.
