At the Met Gala, we noticed a major hairstyle trend: the slicked-back updo, particularly the ponytail and the bun. The Met Gala draws the attention of fashion enthusiasts and casual observers alike to discuss and dissect the red carpet looks. While the outfits often steal the spotlight, details like hair, bags, makeup, jewellery, and other accessories contribute significantly to the overall look. Today, we’re focusing on the most prominent hairstyle at this year’s Met Gala: the slicked-back updo.

The wonderful thing about this hairstyle is that it’s so easy to recreate and can be done in minutes. You’ll generally need hair gel, hair glue, a braided ponytail extension, a hair bun extension, bobby pins, and any decorative hair accessories you desire. All you have to do is pack your hair up, apply the gel and hair glue, add the extensions and accessories, and you are good to go.
Looking for inspiration? These celebrities at the Met Gala had slicked-back updos you can attempt to recreate.
