Odessa A\u2019zion made her first appearance at the Met Gala this year, and her look quickly got attention for its personal and bold style choices. The event, known for its high-fashion red carpet, took place under the 2026 theme \u201cFashion Is Art,\u201d which connects to the The Metropolitan Museum of Art spring exhibition focused on the relationship between clothing and art.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, A\u2019zion shared that she was closely involved in her own glam process for the night. She explained that she didn\u2019t rely on a full team for her hair and makeup.<\/p>\n
\u201cI do my hair and makeup myself,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
When asked if that was normal for her, she explained her reasons in a very direct way. \u201cYeah, I just have a problem with too many people touching me at once. I don\u2019t like it. And I also just am so specific.\u201d<\/p>\n
For the event, she chose a softer makeup look with small jewels placed on her face. Her hair was styled in thick curls using extensions, since she had recently cut her hair short for a film role.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey chopped my hair off for a movie, so it\u2019s extensions,\u201d she said. \u201cYeah, my hair is shoulder-length right now. I miss it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her outfit was a custom look from Valentino. It featured a black corset and a long jacket, both detailed with colorful leaf-shaped designs and beadwork across the fabric. The look also included tights, thigh-high boots, and jewelry from Pandora with butterfly, flower, and heart designs.<\/p>\n
A\u2019zion also spoke about what she was most looking forward to during the night. She said the highlight would come after everything was over. \u201cI think the best part will be when we can all relax and I can take it off, \u2018cause I\u2019m a little bit\u2014 I can\u2019t breathe that much right now,\u201d she said, referring to her corset.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s Met Gala brought together a long list of well-known names from fashion, film, and music, with guests including Blake Lively, Sabrina Carpenter, Teyana Taylor, Margot Robbie, and Zo\u00eb Kravitz.<\/p>\n
