Jaz Shepard Shares the Formula for Alex Consani’s Picture Perfect Blonde

05/07/2026

Supermodel Alex Consani hit the Met Gala red carpet with a high-impact refresh of her signature platinum blonde. Created by editorial and celebrity hairstylist, Jaz Shepard, the look delivers ultra-bright, precision-placed dimension with a polished finish that feels both very nineties and very now.

It also marks a meaningful red carpet moment, with both Consani and Shepard part of a new generation of transgender talent shaping the future of fashion and beauty. Importantly, Consani is the first trans woman to be named a Met Gala Host Committee Member.

Shepard tells The Tease, “For the Met Gala, I wanted Alex’s blonde to feel like a modern take on that iconic ‘90s supermodel color — really bright, but with depth and precision.” She adds, “Using the ‘Foiled Cashmere’ technique, created by Schwarzkopf Professional Ambassador Kari Hill, allowed me to control exactly where the lightness and contrast sit, so the result feels both nostalgic and completely current.”
