Emily Ratajkowski debuts short hair ahead of Met Gala

May 7 (UPI) -- Emily Ratajkowski is switching up her look ahead of the Met Gala.

The 26-year-old model and actress tried out a pixie cut Monday while prepping for the annual event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute in New York.

Ratajkowski shared a photo on Instagram of her new, much shorter hairstyle. She said in the caption she wouldn't be keeping the look for the red carpet.

"Didn't work out for tonight butttt...stay tuned! @jennifer_yepez," the star wrote, tagging hair stylist Jennifer Yepez.

Ratajkowski had posted a picture Sunday of herself trying on jewelry for the gala. The snapshot shows her wearing an elaborate jeweled sleeve that extends from wrist to elbow.

"Met prep," she wrote.

Ratajkowski attended her first Met Gala in 2015. The 2018 event will take place Monday evening with the theme "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination."

Ratakowski came to fame after starring in Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" music video. She recently appeared topless on the March cover of Vanity Fair Spain, and discussed feminism and sexuality in the interview.

"We need to have the freedom as women to choose when and how we express our sexuality," the model said.
