The dresses were big, bold, and bang on theme, but the hair and makeup at the Met Gala was equally as breathtaking — and that includes the accessories. From real flower braids that just made their way straight onto our Pinterest boards to bows so long that they're a hairstyle in and of themselves, you won't be short of inspiration for any occasion. Ahead, get a closer look at all of the hair accessories, big and small, that deserve a spotlight all of their own.
