After Nicole Kidman debuted a shorter, darker hairdo on the red carpet of the 2025 Met Gala, her hairstylist Adir Abergel explained the inspiration behind the surprise transformation.

Staged in New York City at the members-only space WSA, the show perfectly coincided with Met Gala weekend. Black Hair Reimagined brought together the dopest hairstylists in the game with some of the most stylish minds in fashion, each pairing producing its own artistic world.

The Met Gala was first organized and presided over by Anna Wintour in 1995 and is recognized as one of fashion's biggest nights. It also functions as a fundraiser for the Costume Institute and aligns with the opening of its annual fashion exhibition.
