This year's Met Gala theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," was inspired by Monica L. Miller's 2009 book, "Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity." Many of the guests at the event tried to create a look that fit the theme as closely as possible, but it seemed that among the many different styles, one element remained the same.
It's about " kiss curls ", small curls attached to the forehead, an element that best suited the theme.
What are “Kiss Curls”?
If you're wondering what " kiss curls " are, they're about strands of hair "frozen" and carefully placed on the forehead in an arched shape. They resemble " baby hairs " styled at the edges of the forehead, but in this case only a few strands are involved, sometimes even just one, creating an elegant and classic effect. This hairstyle was made famous by Josephine Baker in the 1920s, so it's no surprise that it made a strong comeback on the red carpet tonight.
Kiss curls work with any hairstyle, from buns to pixies to voluminous braids. This makes them perfect for events like the Met Gala, where creativity knows no bounds.
However, chances are that this style from the Met Gala red carpet will become a trend for everyday life as well.
Do they look good? Just look at the looks of Simone Biles, Dua Lipa and Sydney Sweeney, and many others who interpreted this style with brilliance and originality.
