Odessa A'zion does own hair, makeup for Met Gala 2026 debut

Actress Odessa A'zion revealed she styled her own hair and makeup for her Met Gala 2026 debut, opting for a minimal look with jewels and curls.

"I do my hair and makeup myself. - Odessa A'zion"

New York City, May 5

Actress Odessa A'zion revealed she styled her own hair and did her own makeup for her Met Gala debut, according to People.

She added, "I do my hair and makeup myself."

When asked if it was something she has always done, A'zion explained, "Yeah, I just have a problem with too many people touching me at once. I don't like it. And I also just am so specific."

For her debut appearance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the actress opted for a minimal, bare-faced makeup look enhanced with small jewels adorning her face. She styled her hair in thick curls using extensions.

"They chopped my hair off for a movie, so it's extensions," she said. "Yeah, my hair is shoulder-length right now. I miss it."

A'zion paired her self-styled glam with a statement outfit by Valentino, featuring blue and pink bedazzled leafy cut-outs, a black corset, and a long trailing jacket. She completed the ensemble with jewellery from Pandora, along with tights and black thigh-high boots, according to People.

Sharing what she was most looking forward to at the gala, A'zion candidly said, "I think the best part will be when we can all relax and I can take it off, 'cause I'm a little bit-- I can't breathe that much right now," referring to her corset.

The 2026 Met Gala followed the theme 'Fashion Is Art' inspired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art's spring exhibition "Costume Art." The event's co-chairs included Beyonce, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams and Anna Wintour.

Curator Andrew Bolton said the exhibition explores "the centrality of the dressed body" by pairing artworks spanning 5,000 years with historical and contemporary fashion pieces, according to People.

Other prominent attendees at the event included Blake Lively, Sabrina Carpenter, Teyana Taylor, Margot Robbie and Zoë Kravitz.

A'zion's DIY approach and candid remarks added a personal touch to her first appearance at the prestigious fundraiser.

I appreciate her honesty about the corset making it hard to breathe 😂 That's the real Met Gala experience I guess. But why go through all that if you can't enjoy yourself? Also, props for doing her own glam—most Bollywood stars would never skip the professional team.

DIY hair and makeup for the Met Gala? That's brave and refreshing! Meanwhile, our Karan Johar spends hours with his team for every event. Odessa's approach reminds me of how confident people in the West can be with less fuss. The Valentino outfit sounds wild but cool—bet it cost more than my annual salary though. 🤣

I wish more celebrities would do this. It's so over-the-top when they act like they can't even brush their own hair. Also, the exhibition concept of pairing art with fashion across 5,000 years sounds fascinating—wish we had something similar here in India. Our textile heritage is so rich.

Good for her for being authentic! But honestly, the Met Gala is supposed to be this huge fashion spectacle—doing your own makeup can seem like you're not taking the theme seriously. That said, her jeweled look does fit the 'art' theme well. Mixed feelings from me.

I admire her DIY spirit, but let's be real—it's the Met Gala, one of the biggest red carpets on earth. You'd think she'd want the best of the best for her debut. The minimal makeup with jewels is cute though, like a desi bridal trend with a modern
