The 2017 Met Gala will be one to remember. This year’s theme celebrated Rei Kawakubo, the designer and visionary behind Comme des Garçons. A designer known for her voluminous designs and avant-garde architecture, we knew to expect some great red carpet looks and beauty.
It was serious #BlackGirlMagic on the red carpet and there was so much hair inspo that will be sure to influence your next look.

Ruth Negga took a risk on the red carpet and sported good ole’ fashion cornrows. Wearing her hair straight back allows us to focus on her face and leave the attention on her dress. Cornrows are always a good look and I’m loving them at this short length.

Rihanna gave us next level top knot style with her hair. Adding a fun slightly swept bang, it really enhanced her look. Her hair had a slightly greasy, I haven’t washed my hair for a week, type of look…and it just worked with this dress.

No buns about it, Tracee Ellis Ross shows us that a simple updo can be red carpet ready. I love that she had such a strong dress and let the focus be on her ensemble.
