Fresh off her 30th birthday celebrations, Gigi Hadid descended upon the 2025 Met Gala like a gilded comet streaking across fashion’s night sky. While the supermodel has sculpted a gallery of unforgettable beauty moments at this event (her 2021 flame-haired Jessica Rabbit metamorphosis still burns in collective memory), this year’s iteration might just eclipse them all.
For the "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" theme, Hadid materialized in a custom Miu Miu halter gown that seemed spun from molten moonlight. But the true sorcery unfolded atop her head—a crowning glory of 1940s-inspired "boudoir curls" that danced between vintage homage and modern-day goddess energy.
"The dress demanded a hairstyle with architectural poise and whispered nostalgia," confessed celebrity stylist Dimitris Giannetos, who conjured the look. "We sculpted victory rolls with the precision of a Cartier jeweler setting diamonds—structured yet impossibly soft."
Giannetos’ process read like a love letter to Old Hollywood:
The finishing touches—dusted-rose lips, soap brows brushed upward like feathered arrows, and feline flicks of eyeliner—completed a portrait that felt less like a red carpet moment and more like a Renaissance painting breathed to life.
Marking her 10th Met Gala since her 2015 debut (alongside sister Bella, her "built-in best friend" per recent birthday tributes), Hadid’s latest appearance coincided with palpable personal joy. Just days prior, she’d celebrated her milestone birthday with boyfriend Bradley Cooper—their affectionate dynamic at the soirée described by witnesses as "two magnets unable to resist their pull."
As raindrops glistened on the Met’s steps like scattered sequins, Hadid ascended them not just as fashion royalty, but as a woman radiating the quiet triumph of a life meticulously tailored—much like her legendary gown—to perfection.
