Miley Cyrus went with an unexpected hairstyle for the 2025 Met Gala, and while reception was mixed, we're awarding points for a new era in her hair journey.

Bob Recine, the mastermind behind Miley’s Met Ball 2025 hair, used the Nexxus Slick Stick to create that shellacked, polished finish every girlie on TikTok has been chasing for years. No five-step routine, salon splurge, or wildly expensive gel or hairspray claiming it can do what others can't for a bajillion dollars—just a $16 styling stick!

Her hairstylist gave us all the details. Miley Cyrus attended the 2025 Met Gala after a six year hiatus from the event. She paired her ultra-chic Alaïa look with a sleek braid, created using all drugstore products.
