We were all shook when supermodel Irina Shayk showed up at the Met Gala in a basically naked Moschino dress with her signature long hair cut into a \u201890s crop. Shayk had already faked us out a few days earlier with a bob-and-bangs look that turned out to be a wig<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shayk\u2019s white carpet hair moment made headlines \u2018round the world, but in this exclusive interview with Grazia<\/em>, her stylist Harry Josh (who also handles the manes of Gisele Bundchen, Rose Byrne and Gwyneth Paltrow) told us the truth.<\/p>\n

Can you handle it?<\/em><\/p>\n

Tell us about Irina\u2019s Met Gala look. That short cut was one of the biggest surprises of the night.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Irina\u2019s dress was literally see-through and the conversation around her look was, \u201cI do sexy all the time. This dress looks nude and I always have long hair. Let\u2019s be unexpected.\u201d So we wanted to do something different and youthful. I did a deep dive into the \u201890s, saw tons of photos of Linda Evangelista from then, and that was the inspiration. This was an opportunity to keep Irina sexy and fresh, but with short hair. And it worked.<\/p>\n

So you chopped Irina\u2019s hair?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the truth: It was a wig! [Ed: Boom.<\/i>] I actually did cut the front of her hair and we snapped the short hair piece in the back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

OMG. I can\u2019t believe that\u2019s a wig. It looked so natural.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We really did fool people, partly because I cut the front in order for it to blend in with the back piece. This is something people can do at home, too, if they buy a short hair piece. Just be careful to keep the proportions right. But it\u2019s definitely fun for an evening.<\/p>\n
