With the theme of the 2021 Met Gala being “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” it only makes sense that Team USA Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles is in attendance and shining like a star on the red carpet. And we don’t just mean figuratively – the gymnast came dressed in an 88-pound, crystal-embellished dress with starry detailing on the sleeves and pants that she carried through to her hairstyle.
Celebrity hairstylist Nigella Miller created the slicked-back, low ponytail look for Biles and dressed it up with star-shaped hair clips throughout the back of her head. The hair accessories matched the exact silhouette of the stars on the sleeves and pant legs of her ensemble, hinting that they were custom made.
If you thought hair accessories were on their way out anytime soon, the Met Gala – including Amanda Gorman’s meaningful hairstyle – is proof you’re mistaken. Take a closer look at Biles’s hairstyle ahead.
