Gigi Hadid's 2025 Met Gala Glamour Unveiled
Gigi Hadid's 2025 Met Gala Preparation: A Magically Memorable Journey
Gigi Hadid sent the fashion world ablaze with her 1940s-inspired glamour at the 2025 Met Gala. The star, decked out in a custom gold Miu Miu number, sported a standout hairstyle courtesy of her long-time hairstylist, Dimitris Giannetos. Dubbed the "boudoir curls," this retro coif was a challenge yet a thrilling endeavour for the pro stylist.
The Thrill of Nailing Hadid's 2025 Met Gala Look
"It was tough, as these era-specific hair styles often risk seeming over-the-top rather than modern," Giannetos shared in a post-event Zoom call. "But we aimed to match her dress aesthetically, while giving it my unique spin, steering clear of perfection to maintain an edge."
Giannetos typically prefers a messier, less structured look for this style, allowing one curl to escape to add an interesting twist.
A Day in the Life of Gigi Hadid's hairstylist
The 2025 Met Gala was just the cherry on top of a fulfilling day for Hadid and Giannetos, who hails from a quaint Greek village and boasts a staggering million-plus Instagram followers. Over the years, he's styled big names like Demi Moore, the Clooneys, and Camilla Cabello.
Peeking Behind the Curtain of Hadid's 2025 Met Gala Prep
"It was enchanting," Giannetos reminisced about their bonding day, which was graced by Patrick Ta handling the makeup duties. "Gigi has been my client for years now, but I'd rather call her a friend. She's the sweetest, most easy-going lady. She knows her stuff, being Gigi Hadid, so collaborations are always smooth."
So, what's a typical day of prep like for the Met Gala veteran?
The Soundtrack of Met Gala Prep
"Taylor Swift's tunes were our go-to," Giannetos revealed. "Gigi and I share a close friendship with Taylor, and her music sets the perfect vibe in any room. We all adore her, so it's hard to go wrong!"
The Calm Before the Storm: Pre-event Vibes
"The ambiance of the day was nothing but joy and confidence," Giannetos remarked. "We had Diptyque candles lit, and we ordered chicken nuggets-a Carlyle Hotel speciality. This year, they had us pre-order our food, given the Met's bustling nature."
Navigating the Madness: The Big Day
"The hotel lobby was a scene, let me tell you," Giannetos laughed. "Every celebrity in the world was waiting in line for the same elevator. Despite the chaos, it's all part of the experience."
The Butterflies and the Stars: Event Jitters
"Obviously, there are nerves-it's a massive celebration in the world of fashion, the biggest event of the year," Giannetos said. "Gigi, however, stayed cool, with the occasional anxiety spike. But it was always the good kind-not the oh my god, what's going to go wrong?" variety.
As for Giannetos, he handles potential glitches like a boss.
"I'm easygoing, being Greek, so I always have a solution up my sleeve," he said. "I wanted to refresh Hadid's hair since we were traveling in a van before reaching the carpet. Everyone was relaxed, even doing some TikToks, and then at the end, I was like, oh my gosh, I need to refresh this curl. I always carry my curling iron to ensure everything is in place, especially given the humidity."
In the end, after a day of tedious prep, Giannetos let out a sigh of relief. "Gigi's hair held up well," he beamed, "and I even noticed a few others struggling with the New York humidity. I was like, phew!"
