The Met Gala beauty looks are flooding our feeds this morning, and we've been busy spying all the beauty trends, from frosted eyeshadow to fairytale blush. There were several hair moments that caught our attention too. After seeing bob haircuts reign on red carpets over the past year, long hair seems to be making a comeback. But perhaps the biggest hair trend from the night was wet-look hair. But don't go running for the hills. This is one hair trend that is actually really easy to recreate at home, and it's the perfect look as we head into summer.
Hair trend forecaster and hairstylist Tom Smith first called the trend. "I also expect more high-fashion looks such as wet looks, the currently trending 'hydro bob' and long, unstructured lengths that move almost against gravity," he said ahead of the Met Gala.
