Happy Met Gala, Laufey<\/strong>! The Grammy-winning musician attended her second Met Gala in a timeless gown and equally timeless hairstyle.<\/p>\n This year’s theme is \u201cCostume Art,\u201d with \u201cFashion Is Art” as the Gala dress code\u2014a dress code that could be intricate and ornate or simple and impactful.<\/p>\n Hairstylist Jenny Cho styled Laufey’s long hair in a \u201cpolished, glassy, and youthful\u201d style \u201cwith a softness that still felt modern,\u201d inspired by her glimmering ivory Tory Burch capelet gown. \u201cWe wanted something timeless but still soft and romantic. We talked about keeping the hair polished without feeling overdone\u2014something that would move beautifully and feel true to her,\u201d Cho exclusively tells Allure.<\/em> \u201cThe delicacy of the fabric and the subtle shimmer really guided the direction. I didn\u2019t want to compete with it, so the hair stayed fluid and refined, tucked behind the ears with a clean silhouette and soft structure so it doesn\u2019t compete against the front of the dress.\u201d<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n Cho prepped the musician’s damp hair with UNOVE Detangling Heat Protection Spray for Damaged Hair<\/strong> and a drop of Silk Shine Hair Oil for Damaged Hair<\/strong> on the mid-lengths and ends. She then misted thickening spray to the roots and blew Laufey’s hair dry, setting each section on a roller and letting it cool for about 10 minutes. Once the hair was set, Cho resectioned it and curled it into soft, uniform waves with the Olivia Garden 1\u00bd-inch Extra-Long Titanium + Ion Curling Iron. For added lift, lightly mist a thickening spray at the roots. She let the curls cool, then spritzed some hairspray on the Olivia Garden Ceramic + Ion Supreme Combo Oval Cushioned Paddle Brush, brushed through the waves, and lightly teased from underneath for \u201ca controlled, sculpted shape with natural volume.\u201d After Cho tucked the front portion behind the star’s ears, she added the finishing touches: more light-hold hairspray and another drop of the Silk Shine Hair Oil for a glossy finish<\/p>\n \u201c[Laufey] gravitates toward a romantic, understated elegance. There\u2019s always a softness to her looks,\u201d Cho said. \u201cThis builds on her signature texture and gentle movement but for the met, it was elevated into a more polished softness that still feels modern and true to her.\u201d<\/p>\n Beautiful moments from Met Galas:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Laufey](\"https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69f9212614984bf1a83a738e\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/laufey%2520waves%2520met%2520gala.jpg\"\/)
