Megan thee Hengstes Met Gala Ponytail defies the laws of physics – see photos

Megan du stallion. Whoa. You arrived at the MET GALA 2025, and I was almost speechlessly relaxed from her hair-a flammer red-tailed of really epic dimensions. Describing what’s going on here feels like an impossible task on a Monday after an entire working day, but I trust myself that this look is worth having fried my brain.

From the front you can confuse this with an average, albeit very voluminous updo. Megan’s hair is thrown back to the scalp and attached with a headband that is wrapped in suitable hair extensions. Behind the headband, things are sculptural, with three bulbous bouffants that are stacked on each other, each smaller than the one in front of him. An elasticity secures the third bouffant and lets the rest of the hair flow down into a wavy tail. A series of jewels stretches in the middle of the whole and begins with Megan’s hairline.

We all know that Megan is working hard for her live appearances, an impressive performance of squat strength and knee mobility, but has she conditioned all the time all the time? Because this look of the phrase gives a completely new meaning: “The head that carries the crown is difficult.” And what a crown it is.
