Only Jennifer Lopez Could Get Away With Wearing a Messy Bun to the Met Gala — See Photos

Jennifer Lopez has done some truly memorable things with her hair at Met Galas past. Remember when she chopped it off right before she arrived on the red carpet? Or how about that super-long, super-textured ponytail she topped off with a cowboy hat? We always expect some serious style atop J.Lo’s head when it comes to any event, but what I didn’t expect for the 2024 Met Gala is that she’d be wearing the same messy topknot I’m currently wearing while sitting in my borderline-pajamas on the couch writing about celebrity Met Gala looks.

OK, so it’s not the exact same bun I’m wearing because while mine is, in fact, messy and textured and high-set, hers actually looks gorgeous with the custom Schiaparelli gown she’s wearing — a sheer yet crystal-covered creation that’s topped off with a stunningly ornate diamond choker.

Stylist Lorenzo Martin is responsible for the lofty, voluminous, textured topknot, which sits high but not directly on top of Lopez’s head. Instead of going for the sleek base she often prefers, Lopez’s hair looks finger-combed, with loose little pieces at her hairline. The length of her hair is wrapped ‘round and ’round, but not tightly, allowing the bun to look its fullest.
