Edge designs took center stage at this year’s Met Gala—and we’re still catching our breath. From sleek swoops to sculptural swirls, the red carpet turned into a runway of hair artistry. Celebs and their glam teams showed up with edges that were more than just polished—they were precise, playful, and pure magic. Every look felt intentional and oh-so-cool. Whether paired with buns, braids, buzz cuts, or cascading waves, the edge work elevated the vibe to something unforgettable. You could see the craftsmanship in every curve. I love how edges just tell a dope story. It’s technique-meets-imagination in all the best ways.

So scroll through and soak it up: The baby hairs were dancing, the parts were sharp, and the energy was nothing short of iconic. These are the styles that had us pausing, zooming in, and adding to our beauty vision boards.
