Celebrity hairstylist Justine Marjan created model Ashley Graham’s show-stopping pixie fringe and stunning updo for Monday’s Met Gala 2024. Everyone is already questioning how she got those bangs… and we’re here to share!
Marjan, stylist to celebs including Khloe Kardashian, Gwen Stefani, Olivia Culpo, and Kristin Cavallari, has provided a “get the look” with all the products she used to create Ashley’s fringe, including Covet & Mane extensions, TRESemme styling products, and hot tools by ghd.
The Coveted Tape tape-in extensions from Covet & Mane offer a world of possibilities for experimentation with bangs and other unique styles. These damage-free extensions can be applied in under 30 min and removed in less than 10 minutes – plus their unique design looks seamless with your roots, which allows faux-bangs to be possible. See below for Marjan’s breakdown of the look.
Ashley Graham’s Met Gala Hairstyle: Get the Look
On inspiration for the look, celebrity hairstylist Justine Marjan said, “We were inspired by the ‘Garden of Time’ story from the 1960’s and wanted to create a hair look that felt like a dark fairytale. Ultimately we decided to give Ashley a pixie bang and twisted updo.”
