We have been replicating Saweetie’s stunning Met Gala haircut, if you have been following us on TikTok. Wearing a gorgeous Christian Cowan dress—which, fun fact, had approximately 10 million crystals hand-sewn on it—she attended the year’s biggest fashion event. Not only was Saweetie sporting a bedazzled mane, but hair jewelry was also a major trend on the 2021 Met Gala red carpet look. We saw pearl-encrusted hair, braids with a bedazzled red carpet look, and ponytails adorned with diamonds.
We were inspired to inspire you with hair jewelry that glistened through the night by celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Alicia Keys, Rita Ora, and others who complemented their red carpet look with it. How gorgeous would this hair jewelry look for your family’s Christmas photos, a winter wedding, or a New Year’s Eve party?
We understand that trying to pull off a red carpet look could seem intimidating, but fear not—we have got you covered! We are going to walk you through each process so you can recreate some of these red carpet looks at home. Hair jewelry is a trend you should start wearing right away, from putting it on to taking it off. See how to wear it in real life, where to wear it this holiday season, and a lesson for each style by scrolling down.

The Sparkly Slicked Back Look of Alicia Keys
Every contemporary girl’s go-to haircut was Alicia Keys’, but with a little extra pizzazz (a lot of diamonds, to be exact). A well-styled low bun featuring perfectly aligned hair diamonds in a perfect linear symmetry. We believe that this ensemble completely defines fashionable brides of 2021. Thus, if you are among them and seeking something fresh, unique, and unmatched by anyone else, then this is the style for you. Here’s how to achieve the red carpet look:
STEP 1: Separate your hair cleanly in the center and pull it back into a low bun. Although Alicia chose a braided bun, you are free to style your bun any way you choose.
Style Tip: To give your natural bun additional volume, try a Luxy Hair clip-in bun.
Step 2: Put some lash glue on the back of your palm, then fasten each crystal to your head by dipping it into the adhesive with a pair of tweezers.
Step 3: To get an Alicia-like red carpet look, begin placing them in straight lines parallel to your midsection. It will require patience and attention to detail, so make sure your hairstylist or a friend, sister, or mother can assist you.
The High Pony Prada Moment of Gigi Hadid
Gigi looked like the epitome of old Hollywood glam—the gorgeous blue eyeshadow, the bedazzled Prada clip, and the pony pop. This hairstyle is perfect for you if you are the kind of girl who enjoys a classic red carpet look. Here’s how to get her look again:
Step 1: Blow dry your hair until it feels smooth and bouncy.
Step 2: Gather all of your hair into a high ponytail using a boar bristle brush and a small amount of hair pomade. The combination of a pomade and boar bristle brush maintains the hair sleek and tames flyaways.
Style Tip: For an extra pony pop, use a Luxy Hair Gravity Defying hair tie.
Step 3: For added length and volume, add a ponytail extension, and for a vintage Hollywood glam red carpet look, give it a small curl at the end.
Step 4: Voilà, a sophisticated girly hairstyle! Simply attach your preferred bejeweled hair clip to the base of the ponytail.
Taylor Hill’s Understated Headdress
We adore a simple, minimalist style just as much as you do, and Taylor Hill’s Met Gala ensemble is amazing. She donned a delicate headpiece and a set of diamond earrings as her main accessories, and this proved to be the perfect amount for creating a standout red carpet look. If you are an edgy bride trying to do something different for your engagement pictures or rehearsal dinner, this look would be perfect. Here’s how to achieve the style:
You would initially believe that Taylor Hill has a full, slicked look, but closer examination reveals that her hair is actually pushed back into three pieces.
STEP 1: Partition a sizable portion of your hair in the crown of your head first.
Style tip: To achieve a neat look, start each of these parts from the highest point on your brow and work your way down.
Step 2: Comb back a huge section of your hair to form two sections of clear hair, one for each side where your jewelry will be worn.
Step 3: After dividing your hair into these pieces, gather all of it into a sleek twisted bun. At the nape of your neck, fasten it with hairpins and delicate, invisible elastics.
Step 4: Cover the two hair portions you made with your hair jewelry.
That is it, too! You will feel fashionable for days if you pair it with a slip dress or a fitted pantsuit.
Doused in Crystals Saweetie
Since Saweetie’s dress was covered in over a million crystals, her hair had to match. We are here for the dazzle, which was the main focus of her look. So much so that we made you this simple hair tutorial. Together, the crystals and the slicked back hair create a polished, unmessy red carpet look. Here’s how to wear this look on yourself:
STEP 1: Part your hair deeply on the side, then clip the remaining hair behind and away from your face.
Step 2: Use a boar bristle brush to brush your hair back and secure it in place with a small amount of pomade to provide a nice foundation for the crystal placement.
Step 3: After that, take a tweezer and pick up your preferred crystals or hair jewelry. Then, dip the crystals in lash glue and arrange them evenly throughout your mane to create a delicate, sparkling red carpet look.
Style Tip: You can use velcro rollers to curl the remaining portion of your hair and open them up once you are finished, as this task will require some time and focus. Win-win, is not that right?
