Grande&#8217;s ballerina bun and Mikey Madison&#8217;s Audrey Hepburn-inspired look, but Megan Thee Stallion took the formal style to the next level with not one but <em>two<\/em> different updos\u2014and she&#8217;s definitely got our vote for queen of the evening in both. The rapper attended several Oscars celebrations, starting her night at the Elton John viewing party and then hitting up the <em>Vanity Fair<\/em> after-party, and changed up her gowns and hairstyles for each event. Let&#8217;s check &#8217;em out, shall we?<\/p>\n<p>For the <em>Vanity Fair<\/em> party, Megan wore her \u201chot honey\u201d red hair piled high atop her head and pinned at the crown. Her hairstylist Kellon Deryck pulled out a few little curls from the base of the updo for added movement and texture, then curled the front tendril near her face to match. It&#8217;s \u201890s glamour in the best way, especially when combined with the green feathered halter gown and pasties in place of a top. But in true Megan fashion, the inspiration actually came from comics; she told <em>Vanity Fair<\/em> that the look was inspired by <em>Batman<\/em>&#8216;s Poison Ivy. (As you know, Megan is a huge anime fan and often draws inspo from her fave characters, so it&#8217;s not surprising to hear she was feeling Poison Ivy for the party.)<\/p>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-fkZDUs kHRAYC asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eEeytc eRSvCP asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-zEXFr koTknX responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cIfZLr fHIkTW asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Megan Thee Stallion wears her auburn red hair in a high curled updo.\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eNxvmU cfBbTk responsive-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/megan2520thee2520stallion2520updo2520oscars.jpg\" title=\"megan2520thee2520stallion2520updo2520oscars\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"CaptionWrapper-jYrTxZ gVBkjw caption AssetEmbedCaption-fyuOdR gAYTTS asset-embed__caption\" data-testid=\"caption-wrapper\"><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gzmcOU BaseText-eqOrNE CaptionCredit-eowWKH deqABF lnzeTN gxwcqg caption__credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"GridWrapper-cFSKbf cxzKYj grid grid-margins grid-items-2 ArticlePageChunksGrid-hkPQhP lnoYVP grid-layout--adrail narrow wide-adrail\" data-journey-hook=\"grid-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"GridItem-beYvyV kCPYUp grid--item grid-layout__content\">\n<div class=\"BodyWrapper-kzyFNv HDJd body body__container article__body\" data-journey-hook=\"client-content\" data-testid=\"BodyWrapper\">\n<div class=\"body__inner-container\">\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-fkZDUs kHRAYC asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eEeytc eRSvCP asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-zEXFr koTknX responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cIfZLr fHIkTW asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Megan Thee Stallion poses in a green feathered gown and high curly red updo.\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eNxvmU cfBbTk responsive-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/megan2520thee2520stallion2520updo2520oscars25202-1.jpg\" title=\"megan2520thee2520stallion2520updo2520oscars25202-1\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"CaptionWrapper-jYrTxZ gVBkjw caption AssetEmbedCaption-fyuOdR gAYTTS asset-embed__caption\" data-testid=\"caption-wrapper\"><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gzmcOU BaseText-eqOrNE CaptionCredit-eowWKH deqABF lnzeTN gxwcqg caption__credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Earlier that evening at the Elton John viewing party, Megan looked like the flames emoji personified in a yellow-orange halter gown with her red hair pulled atop her head in a pile of soft curls.
