While many celebrities stay under the radar before the Met Gala, Ayo Edebiri made a bold move by revealing a striking new hairstyle just days before fashion’s biggest night.
The award-winning actor and The Bear star appeared at the Saturday Night Live afterparty at Tavern on the Green, where she was seen sporting a dramatic hair transformation. Dressed in an all-black outfit that included a mini dress, leather jacket, and Mary Jane slingbacks, Edebiri stood out thanks to her new hair color—a rich, honey blonde.
Previously wearing a short, auburn-tinted bob throughout April, Edebiri switched to long, waist-length waves with a soft side part. The style included visible dark roots, giving the look a natural, effortless edge.
While it hasn’t been confirmed, celebrity hairstylist Jacob Aaron is believed to be behind the transformation. Many fans are now eager to see whether she will carry this summery blonde style into the Met Gala, where she is serving on the event’s host committee.
Whether she keeps the look or surprises again, one thing is clear—Edebiri is not afraid to take risks. And when she does, she delivers.
