Get Ready to Be Shook by Cara Delevingne’s Met Gala Hair: A Mystical, Chameleon-esque Mane Extravaganza!
So, the 2023 Met Gala happened, and oh boy, was it a Lagerfeld love-fest! The fashion elite paid tribute to the late Karl Lagerfeld in ways that ranged from “OMG, that’s a whole lotta dress” to “Is that a skyscraper or a headpiece?” Cara Delevingne, our queen of cool, chose to honor the fashion icon with a hair transformation that would make even Elsa jealous: icy gray hair with a touch of magical color-shifting powers.
Cara strutted her stuff in a fabulous asymmetric white dress that had sleeves longer than the grocery list we still haven’t finished. Her thigh-high boots were practically screaming, “I came to slay!” But it was her silver hair that took the cake. The color was cooler than a polar bear’s toenails and seemed to shift into a mesmerizing blue hue when viewed from different angles. It was like her hair was whispering, “Hey, my eyes are up here, but also down here. You’re welcome.”
Her edgy haircut was chopped up like a goth fairy’s dream, with the longest pieces teasing her neck and the shortest ones forming adorable, wispy bangs. The cut’s texture paired perfectly with the intense smoky eye that was so dark, it could summon a long-lost spirit. Her eyebrows were arched to the heavens, and her lips wore a nude lipstick that said, “I’m here, but I’m not stealing the show.”
Now, brace yourselves, folks: this stunning hair metamorphosis was actually… drumroll, please… a WIG! Gasp! Hairstylist Danielle Priano masterfully installed this magical, choppy headpiece using Ghostbond Classic adhesive, guaranteeing that no gust of wind could ruin Cara’s hair game. A flat iron was wielded like a wizard’s wand to curl small sections and create that enviable texture.
Cara and Lagerfeld go way back, like BFFs from their first Chanel encounter when she was 20 (our girl’s 30 now!). Their friendship flourished until his passing in 2019, even resulting in Cara designing a collection for his designer label. You can bet your bottom dollar that Karl would’ve been over the moon to see her rocking that icy gray hair and fabulous ensemble.
