Megan Thee Stallion’s sculptural ponytail stole the show at The 2025 Met Gala. Her auburn strands were slicked back into an updo that marries a beehive with a ponytail. “Her look was inspired by Josephine Baker,” shares her hairstylist Kellon Deryck. “Strong and powerful, this hair is going to be the talk of the event!”

The structured style features three tiers of rounded buns, creating a halo-like effect from the front. From the side, the buns decrease in size before giving way to a long and wavy ponytail.

To achieve the voluminous coiffure, Deryck teased and then smoothed her deep-wave ponytail using the Tangle Teezer The Ultimate Detangler Chrome in Chocolate Bronze.

The cherry on top of the stunning style is a line of diamonds that starts at her hairline and continues to the start of the ponytail. Kiss curls along Meg’s edges perfectly seal the look.

With her hair pulled away from her face, we can appreciate her stunning makeup. Artist Diana Shin created the look using all Charlotte Tilbury products, starring the Airbrush Flawless Foundation and the Big Lip Plumpgasam gloss in the new shade Nudegasam Diamonds.

The Old Hollywood glamour of Meg’s beauty look beautifully complemented her custom Michael Kors outfit, which featured a white and silver lace gown, matching heels, and a white fur coat. Tailored to perfection, the look aligns well with the spirit of the theme.
