Given that the 2019 Met Gala theme is about the intersection of camp culture and fashion, we're expecting celebrities to be a bit stumped as to what kind of beauty elements can really embody this year's theme.
Like, what is "camp" hair, anyway? Thinking about it now, we guess it's anything that's not entirely predictable, mundane, or run-of-the-mill. In other words: A mohawk? Extremely camp. A billion Barbie shoes woven into a braid? Absolutely. Loose, easy waves? Not so much.
But what about baby bangs? You know, those super-short bangs seen on the likes of Rooney Mara and Amélie Poulain in Amélie. Well, according to Miley Cyrus' Instagram story, she's betting on them being campy enough to fit right into tonight's wild Met Gala red carpet. In all her latest photos, you can see that her bangs now end far above her eyebrows, putting them firmly in micro-bang territory.

If you're plugged into the celebrity beauty news cycle, you know that baby bangs are having a moment right now, with Charlize Theron recently trying them on for the premiere of her film Long Shot. But while Theron's baby bangs were faux, Cyrus' appear to be the real thing. She captioned one of her pictures, "Fully addicted to hair cuts."
Given Cyrus' past Met Gala appearances — which have seen her evoke both Old Hollywood glamour and Cynthia from Rugrats — we doubt that her baby bangs will be the most shocking part of her ensemble tonight. Actually, we'd bet good money on it.
