The Met Gala Jeweled Hair Trend We Should All Get On
Bedazzled hair accessories are making comeback this season after a post-Met Gala high.
Nothing screams Met Gala more than the headpieces and the hair accessories that top off the extravagant costumes of the evening. On September 14, we witnessed a key hair trend emerging this season with crystalized hair accessories accentuating each Met Gala ensemble from Emily Blunt's celestial headband to Amanda Gorman's goddess-inspired flower crown. Nothing epitomizes regality more than bedazzled hair accessories embodied by the star-studded guests of this year's Met Gala event.
Prior to the Met Gala, we've seen the jewel hair accessory trend emerge from fashion week of seasons past. Recently, Tom Ford showed its Spring/Summer 2022 collection with models accessorized with bedazzled hair clips. Also during New York Fashion Week's Fall/Winter 2021 shows, Alice + Olivia was inspired by the original Gossip Girl series from the early 2000s with models accessorized in crystalized headbands reviving the elite private school girl trend.
From the crystal-embellished headbands of the 1920s flapper girl era to Blair Waldorf-esque headbands paying homage to the early 2000s academia aesthetic, here are the Met Gala hair accessories worth trying.
As an homage to Josephine Baker, Yara Shahidi accessorized her sparkling, crystal-embroidered Dior gown with a bedazzled headband that matched perfectly with her ensemble.
Flower crowns, once popular in the early 2010s, are making a comeback but with crystal finishes as seen on Amanda Gorman who emulated a Greek goddess on the red carpet.
Individually placing rhinestones can seem like a tedious job, but the subtle yet vivacious hair accessory adds sparkle to any hairdo. Alicia Keys looked ethereal with her sleek, center-parted low bun topped off with rhinestone accessories for a minimalist look.
One can't go wrong with a bedazzled hair clip. The accesory is versatile enough to be worn on its own, and also as an accesory piece on chic hairdos. Gigi Hadid wears a jewel-outlined hair clip as a decorative piece on her goregous high ponytail.
This year's Met Gala redefined statement headbands as we know it. Seen on the stunning Emily Blunt, the crystal and pearl embellished hair accessory makes for a perfect statement piece on any look.
