This Hairstyle Ruled the Met Gala Red Carpet

This year's MET Gala was full of grandiose beauty looks, from angelic headpieces to extravagant lashes (hi, Gaga and Gigi). Our favorite celebs turned out all the stops for this year's theme of Camp: Notes on Fashion (camp as in over-the-top, not the sleepaway kind). There was Ashley Graham's embellished pony featuring pins from Gucci and Justine Marjan x Kitsch. There was Lady Gaga's four outfit changes. There was Katy Perry's...chandelier. But campy hair accessories aside, we couldn't help but notice that the most popular hairstyle on the MET red carpet was surprisingly simple: the high pony. Or rather, sky-high pony. Camp is all about extravagance, after all. Did the hairstylists take a cue from our beloved Ariana Grande? Did the ponytails bring the wearers closer to God? So many questions we'll never have answers to, but in the meantime, feast your eyes on the best sky-high ponies at the 2019 MET.
