Enter the floral fantasy – The Garden of Time, where stars embrace spring's vibrant hues, floral ensembles and petal-covered gowns
It was the first Monday of May and the night when big names in fashion royalty graced the occasion of the MET Gala 2024. Popularly known as the ‘Fashion Oscars’ or ‘Fashion’s biggest night out’, or as we call it – The ‘Night of Nights in Fashion and Art, The Gala unfolded in full bloom where stars from around the globe walked the steps of this iconic museum.
The theme for this year's Gala was "The Garden Of Time" and was inspired by the J.G. Ballard short story - “The Garden of Time”. This was a way of paying homage to the magic of spring and all the floral hues that show the birth of a new season.
This was also a tribute to his work where celebrities graced the occasion in floral themes and hues from spring. This was a theme designed to complement the ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion’ exhibition, the annual celebration of the Costume Institute.
Now with all the dreamy and ethereal magic in the air, without a doubt, the ‘mane’ magic was giving an ‘other-worldly’ vibe that left us all speechless.
Like, for real take Zendaya for example! Miss Ma’am went all out and shook us with not one, not two, but three updos that swept us off our feet! And can we talk about Kendall, please? Our Red Carpet queen decided to charm us all with a 13$ hairspray. Yep, you heard that right! Kenny is the literal definition of ‘Effortlessly beautiful’.

So let’s keep reading! Because we have a surprise in store and a little mystery never hurt anyone, right? What are you waiting for? Let’s dive in and dissect the top 5 Hairdos from the MET Gala 2024 together!
The Met Gala Galore: Top Hair Extension Hairstyles
1. THE DESI TADKA: Alia
Somebody call the fire brigade! The desi gang is here to set the red carpet ablaze!
Let’s start with the Queen herself! Aliaa Bhatt!
Sabyasachi has outdone himself again with her saree but can we talk about how hairdo will become a bridal trend this season? Yes, we have quite a few Gemeria brides trying out this Gem studded updo for their ‘pheras’!
Fun fact, while we were researching about how Alia put her entire look together, we were sneaking around and after all that searching we found out that she took inspiration from Pinterest.
Guys, it's Pinterest that all of this came out from! So don't worry putting up a Pinterest mood board for your next family function is completely justified.
Anyways, her mint-green, custom-designed saree was conceptualized by Sabyasachi taking inspiration from old portraits of Parsi nobility and colours from the old delicate pastel-shaded sarees.
All in all, Alia’s overall look was beautiful, but the hair, THE HAIR, was GIVING!
Talk about the next bridal hair trend; Alia set the statement. A simple loose bun with a vintage touch and some ornaments here and there, that’s all it took for her to blaze the stairs of the iconic museum.
To get this look with Gemeria, you can use the Faux buns by Gemeria and for those wispy long and light fringes, you can use the Clip-In hair extensions at the front. And that’s all it took to replicate this ethereal look.
2. A Tribute To Cher: Simone Ashley
Coming up next is Simone Ashley.
The Bridgerton star was seen in a dress and make-up inspired by Cher. The hair? The hair was a blend of Cher, but more Botticelli.
So, the original idea was to give the actress floor-length hair but then, Shon, the hair stylist, decided to take a little detour and bring out soft waves like that on a goddess.
You can achieve this look too with our Classic Natural Wavy 7 Set Clip-In Extensions that are 26 inches long. Again! It was that easy!
Simply use a barrel curler and give them this goddess.
3. THE RAVE OF THE WAVE: Kendall and Dove
For some reason, 2024 is the year for beach waves and vintage rolls.
The MET gala was no stranger to waves and three of the big names in Tinsel Town showed up in the rave of the wave.
Exhibit A! Kenny does it again!
Queen of the Red Carpet, the American socialite, and model; Kendal Jenner graced the steps of the MET in a vintage Givenchy Dress. P.S., this is a dress that no human has ever worn since it was made in 1999.
But the centre of attention was how not a single strand of hair was out of place! The secret sauce behind all this magic? Brace yourselves! It was a 13-dollar Hairspray that made her look drop-dead gorgeous!
But ‘nuff with the spray, the real showstopper was the hair, all-in-all!
For this look, you will need the Seamless 7-Set Clip-In Wavey Hair Extensions that are 26 inches long. Honestly, the locks and the look are worth it. The beauty of hair extensions, especially Human hair extensions is that they are a perfect investment.
Use them for a wedding, use them for a brunch, use them to feel like a goddess or just use them as you would. They stay for a lifetime, unlike that one ex who promised that they would!
Anywho, so the look comes together with just two bobby pins, two rubber bands and maybe a 70 rupees hairspray to hold it all in place.
Start by:
- Taking a centre partition and dividing your hair into two equal parts.
- Next, you are going to take a small lock of hair twist it and pin it at the back of your head, not too low and not too high but just 2 inches away from the crown.
- Now you are going to take another lock of hair and using a fine tooth or bristle comb, you are going to comb this hair back over this twisted section.
- Use another Bobby pin to pin this over the previous one and give it a light comb to push back any loose strands of hair.
- Do the same on the other side of your hair. As a finishing touch use a triple barrel curry iron and give the remaining hair a few more waves.
- Finish this all with a few sprays of hair spray on the front section of your head and now you're ready to go.
When it comes to Dove, she’s one to show how ‘punk’ ‘Forest Nymph Vibe’ and ‘ethereal’ can all be used in the same sentence.
Hairstylist Jacob Rozenberg and makeup artist Kale Teter got together and put this entire look with a few human hair extensions like a 7-set clip-in hair extension set or for the short-hair girlies, you can go in for a Balayage Half Head Wig. Easy!
4. THE VINTAGE RENDEZVOUS: Kaia Gerber
Dolled up in a white sequin gown, with gleaming diamond jewellery and simple white sandals; Kaia Gerber, graced the MET Gala in a vintage hairdo.
We are talking about a simple hairstyle from the MET Gala straight into your checkout basket. This could be a perfect bridal hairdo too!
With a little blow-drying, some teasing, our 5x5-inch essential topper, and some hairspray, you are ready to go and charm the world with your wing-tipped eyes.
5. THE FRINGE AFFAIR: Sydney
The ‘Euphoria’ and ‘Anyone But You’ actress, ditched the golden locks and switched up her entire look.
And can we talk about her attire at the MET Gala 2024?
Sydney Sweeney, 28, looked stunningly transformed in her Miu Miu ball gown featuring a voluminous tulle skirt adorned with exquisite embroidered flowers, exuding an air of ethereal elegance. This was something straight out of a Disney Fairy Tale mood board. To top it all, Sydney charmed us all with an elegant black bob and textured bangs.
Want to get the look? We got the clip-in bangs with every shade and every type. Bob-haired girlies, you only have to clip them on and strut on!
Conclusion:
The MET Gala was a feast of the eyes and one event that perfectly displays how fashion, talent and creativity come together in a harmonious blend. From clip-in bangs to human hair extensions of every hair type and texture, Gemeria is your fairy godmother for the perfect hair day!
