Ashley Graham attended the 2023 Met Gala sporting a flipped-out bob with a side part and wavy patterned section of hair by celebrity hairstylist Justine Marjan (@justinemarjan). Ashley paired the retro style with a structural velvet and satin pink and black gown by Harris Reed.
Justine used ghd and Great Lengths products to create the look and shares it was inspired by various Chanel collections—perfectly aligning with the Met Gala's theme "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty."
"We were inspired by the classic Chanel bob and wanted to give a nod to the legacy of the brand and the era it was founded," shares Justine. "Most of Karl’s collections featured the models with slicked back hair or side parts, so we went for a side part and the wavy pattern in the front paid homage to the hair in Chanel’s spring ‘93 collection. The flipped ends were from Chanel’s spring ‘97 couture show."
Read on for a full breakdown of the look and how to recreate it.
