Beyonce to Return to Met Gala as Co-host after 10 Year Hiatus

Beyonce is making an iconic return to the Meta Gala after 10 years when she last attended the Manus x Machina themed event in 2016.  She will be hosting the 2026 Met Gala on May 4th alongside Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams and Anna Wintour. This year's theme is centered on "Costume Art" and curated by Andrew Bolton. The theme focuses on the "centrality of the dressed body" within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's notably vast collections.  Central to this theme is the understanding that fashion has a direct connection to the bodies that it is displayed on. This is the first exhibition that will be featured in the museum's permanent Conde Nast galleries. 

Beyonce is no stranger to the Costume Art world as her mother, Tina Knowles created the Wearable Art Gala to benefit the Wear Art Can Occur (WACO) theater Center. During the annual event, guests also dress in elaborate, creative fashion according to the annual theme. While Beyonce and her co-hosts and co-chairs are busy organizing for this year's Met Gala, let's take a look back at all of her past looks that she wore to previous Met galas.  This year, one can imagine that Beyonce will feature at least 2-3 looks as she co-hosts the event alongside Kidman, Williams and Wintour.  

She has always worn Givenchy or Armani Privé to past galas and it will be interesting to see if she will showcase looks by these design houses.  While we don't know what Beyonce will be wearing to this year's Met Gala, it would be nice if she showed up in something with shock value or a little daring. Perhaps a change in hair color could take whatever look she has soaring. Think--Back to Black! Whatever the case, the masses can be sure that this A-lister will bring her complete A-game to the event.

Baby Hair Banned!

Who would have thought that a day would come where a popular hair trend is forced to an end.  If you aren't clear about what hair trend that is, think of those swirly waves that are shaped and molded onto a woman's hairline often with the precision, grace and perfection of an artist creating complex paintings and illustrations in the studio.  We're talking baby hair, curlfriends! Not a Monet, a Picasso or a Van Gogh! The obsession that some women have with baby hair should really be studied on a super grand scale.  Some ladies won't feel that their look is complete if their edges are not laid or slicked.  As a wig store dealing with various clientele, we can attest to the fact that some women take the baby hair trend to a whole nother level.  Having baby hair or "laid edges" means different things to different folks.  Baby hair may look cute when styled correctly but should females become so enmeshed in the baby hair craze?  What happens when an  ...

The baby hair trend was extremely popular in the early 90s and it made a comeback in the late 2010s. The name came from the look of an actual baby's hair or how a baby's hair looks as a new born. The thin hair that appear at the scalp line which are actually signals of the baby's hair that has yet to grow in. While the trend does appear to be simmering down these days, one question still remains: Does leaving baby hair out on your wig really make a difference?  Some feel...
