Ego Nwodim is serving some big looks at the 2025 Met Gala.
As the Saturday Night Live star walked the famed steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City for her first Met Gala appearance May 5, her hair—styled by Miles Jeffries—was arguably one of the most intriguing parts of her fabulous outfit.
“I feel like I’m carrying art on my head,” Ego told E! News’ Zuri Hall at the 2025 Met Gala, hosted by co-chairs A$AP Rocky, Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, Pharrell Williams as well as Vogue editor Anna Wintour. “I feel so good, it’s fabulous.”
“I feel like this is the tallest my hair has ever been,” Ego, 37, quipped, showing off her whimsical and elaborate updo. “I’ve always wanted to be 5’9, and now I’m like, ‘It’s giving 6’2.’”
Along with her perfectly sculptured ‘do, the comedian—who hosted Vogue’s Met Gala livestream alongside Teyana Taylor and La La Anthony—incorporated the theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Back Style,” into her look with a custom archival Christopher John Rogers three-piece suit with a billowing peplum waist and blazer-style top.
