Ayo Edebiri turned heads over the weekend with a fresh new hairstyle just ahead of the 2025 Met Gala. The Emmy-winning actress was spotted at the Saturday Night Live afterparty at Tavern on the Green, wearing a sleek all-black outfit that included a mini dress, leather jacket, and low-heeled Mary Jane slingbacks.
While her outfit stayed true to her signature chic style, it was her hair that made the boldest statement. Edebiri, who had been seen in April with a dark auburn bob, debuted long, honey-blonde waves that reached her waist. The style featured a side part and dark roots, giving the look a relaxed, lived-in finish.
The transformation was likely the work of hairstylist Jacob Aaron, who has styled Edebiri for past appearances. With the Met Gala set to take place tonight, fans are wondering if she will keep the summery new look for fashion’s most high-profile red carpet.
Typically, celebrities keep their beauty changes under wraps just before the Met Gala, waiting to reveal dramatic transformations at the event itself. But Edebiri broke tradition by unveiling her updated hair early—and confidently. As a member of this year’s Met Gala host committee, she’s expected to play a prominent role at the event.
Whether she keeps the honey-blonde waves or surprises with something entirely new, Edebiri’s fans are sure she’ll bring elegance and originality to the red carpet.
