Radiant, refined and red carpet-ready—Sydney Sweeney stepped onto the 2025 Met Gala carpet with a sculpted updo by celebrity hairstylist Glen “Coco” Oropeza (@glencocoforhair). Her glossy, structured style paired seamlessly with a beaded black Miu Miu gown, inspired by the elegance of 1950s icon Kim Novak.

To complement the gown’s vintage silhouette, Glen created a modern take on classic glamour—complete with slicked-back polish, delicate finger-swirled curls (also referred to as kiss curls) and a sleek, glossy bun.

HOW-TO STEPS

1

“First, I sprayed the Kérastase Genesis Defense Thermique Heat Protecting Spray on damp hair to add heat protection and prevent any breakage.”

2

“Next, I added a few drops of the new Kérastase Gloss Absolu Glaze Drops before blow-drying to help control frizz and add shine.”

3

“Then, using the Wavytalk Turblow Pro Blowdryer, I smoothed out the hair until dry, clipping back with each section to shape the ponytail.”

4

“After drying, I used a smoothing brush and the Laque Extrême Hair Spray section by section to slick the hair into formation, leaving out a few pieces in the front of the head.”
