Janelle Monáe's Bejeweled Pixie Wins The 2017 Met Gala Red Carpet

This past awards season, the Hidden Figures actress wore everything from bobby pins to googly eye craft stickers throughout her coif, proving that creativity doesn’t stop with show-stopping gowns. And tonight (May 1), she continued that standout tradition while attending the 2017 Met Gala.

The actress and singer's bedazzled pixie, styled by Nikki Nelms, left quite the impression.

Her hair, a slicked down pixie styled by Nikki Nelms, was accented with bejeweled baubles, while a ruby red lip provided the perfect pop of color. Per usual, Monáe’s beauty look lands atop our best of list, and becomes instant spring makeup and hair inspo.
