After accompanying her bedazzled boyfriend Machine Gun Kelly to the VMAs on Sunday night, Megan Fox took the red carpet solo at the Met Gala 2021 — with a brand-new hairstyle to boot. 

For fashion's biggest night, she tried out fun Bettie Page-esque bangs for the first time. I believe it was Y2K the last time I saw her with bangs, now that I think about it.  Instead of committing to the retro look, hairstylist Andrew Fitzsimons clipped on a faux hairpiece for the special occasion to achieve the short, blunt fringe. 

Fitzsimons also reached for ultra-long extensions to create a chunky, cord-wrapped braid that ran past Fox's waist for an unexpected Lara Croft: Tomb Raider twist. He spritzed on the Living Proof Flex Hairspray to give it a mirror-like sheen and flyaway-free finish.

Fox's striking pin-up hairstyle topped a timeless makeup look. Makeup artist Ash K Holm kept the Bettie Page vibes strong with fluttery lashes and bold brows. She also painted the actor's lips with a crisp crimson hue, defining her cupid's bow while doing so. The lip color perfectly matched Fox's gorgeous sequined gown, which just so happened to give us a peek at her back tattoos. 

And for nails, Fox got an almond-shaped manicure lacquered with a pale pink polish. During a red carpet interview, she shared she was embracing her divine feminine with this look, and we're living for that sentiment. 

Altogether, Megan Fox surely left us stunned with her Met Gala 2021 look. We can't wait to see if more bangs will be worked into her hairstyles.
