Super Long, Ethereal Hair Ruled the Met Gala 2024 Red Carpet
Weâve been living in the era of âthe bob” for quite some time now (no complaints here: it looks fabulous on everyone), but it came as a pleasant surprise when many of this yearâs Met attendees opted for long and whimsical as opposed to angular and modern for their hair looksâand we couldnât be more in love with the idea.
Leaning very much into the âGarden of Timeâ theme, some of our favorite stars took the creative freedom to let their hair down and be one with nature. Lady Godiva seemed to be the main source of hair inspiration of the night as long, whimsical waves were sported by Zoe Saldana, Simone Ashley, Sarah Jessica Parker, Harris Reed, Kendall Jenner, and many more. Others stuck to their tried and true styles, with Ariana Grande wearing her signature long pony and Naomi Campbell going sleek and straight with her iconic long strands. And the beautyâforgive the punâof long hair is its versatility: it can be worn in so many ways, like La La Anthonyâs sleek high pony adorned with a coquette-like bow. This yearâs red carpet has us wanting to grow out our hair to add the same extra romance and whimsy to our beauty lives.
So if youâre looking for some long hair inspo, thereâs no better place to look than last nightâs festivitiesâand weâve got you covered. Below, we rounded up some of our favorite long hair Met Gala 2024 looks. Scroll through and possibly get ready to invest in some extensions.
