Ah, prom season. I admit, I'm not really on top of how the teens are styling their hair for the big dance these days, but I have crystal-clear memories of how we used to do it in the 1990s. If you didn't pile curls into a tendril-spilling tower atop your head, did you even read the special prom issue of YM? Well, it seems Megan Thee Stallion definitely did, and it apparently inspired her Broadway debut after-show glam.
Meg gave her first highly anticipated performance in Moulin Rouge!, in which she'll be playing the role of Zidler in the musical through mid-May. I would be remiss to not shout out her amazing hairstyle in the show—a glossy, Veronica Lake-esque look that's bedazzled along its waves—but it's her celebratory stage door style that's really sending me back.

Everything about Megan's look as she emerged from the Al Hirschfeld Theatre on March 24 screamed prom queen: the long, sequinned dress, the strappy, metallic shoes, the matching red mani-pedi, the gold Alexis Bittar jewelry (those bangles are so epic), the bold lips and shimmering eyes, because why take off your stage makeup if you're going out after? She's even carrying bouquets of flowers as if her name was just announced as the winner.

But it's that big, blonde updo that really seals the deal. A mix of sandy and bronde tones, her hair has been swept up into a heap of loose curls. And a ‘90s prom updo wouldn’t be complete without tendrils, which Megan has in spades, both framing her face and trailing in back.

The only thing she's missing is a crown—which would weigh down her style anyway, so it's probably for the best.
