Here’s how to recreate the Rosette Met Gala trend for under $20

Considering that the theme for the 2024 Met Gala was “The Garden of Time,” in honor of “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” it was no surprise that celebrities embraced the blossoming theme. Madelyn Cline wore a cream dress sprinkled with flowers, Camila Mendes opted for a 3D rose collar instead of a necklace, and Kim Kardashian donned a metallic lace dress with flowers. Give them their flowers, please!

But it wasn’t just floral dresses! A few celebrities have taken things to the next level by incorporating both the Garden of Time theme and the iconic Y2K rosette trend into their hairstyles. It ranged from all-out (see Zendaya, who wore a full bouquet designed by Philip Treacy for Alexander McQueen on her head) to surprisingly wearable hair accessories and clips for us regular folks.

Case in point: Kylie Jenner wore a simple pink rosette in her perfectly sleek updo to match her elegant dress, and Kelsey Ballerini pulled the pink and orange flowers covering her dress down to her hair, dotting flowers of the exact same thing. shadow. Taraji P. Henson also topped off her high bun with a handful of realistic-looking flower clips!

Needless to say, I’m ~overwhelmed~ with the desire to sweep my (recently short, RIP) hair up into an updo covered in beautiful flowers.

Unfortunately, since the Met Gala is fashion’s unofficial Super Bowl, it’s safe to assume that celebrities alone are wearing thousands and tens of thousands of dollars worth of accessories. But a rose(tte) by any other name is just as sweet, so I took it upon myself to find some excellent little rose hair accessories to add a little First Monday in May to your OOTD!

keep the bouquet and bring me these roses instead, pls

The small clips are perfect for securing your impulse bangs that are currently in the growth phase, and of course you can never have too many claw clips or scrunchies. I’ll personally be grabbing a few of those rosette scrunchies to add a little “Oh, she really tried” to my messy buns as I reset my countdown to the 2025 Met Gala. Only me?!
