<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It’s the first Monday in May, which can only mean one thing: As night falls, the A-list of style, including actors, models, musicians, sports stars and the world\u2019s top designers in all their beauty, will hit the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art<\/a> on Manhattan’s tony Upper East Side for the 2025 Met Gala<\/a>.<\/p>\n The theme of this year’s benefit on May 5, which raises money for the iconic New York City institution’s Costume Institute<\/a>, is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which explores the role of fashion and dandyism in shaping Black culture.<\/p>\n Luminaries<\/a> rocked interpretations of the dress code \u201cTailored for You.\u201d Hosts Coleman Domingo, A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams<\/a> and Anna Wintour stunned in expertly fashioned pieces, as did host committee members Doechii,<\/a> Tyla, Usher and Ayo Edibiri. While the chic suits and impeccable corsetry had impressed, it was the hair and makeup that really had us swooning.<\/p>\n Swooped edges and major lashes turned out to be the biggest trends of the night and looks that will no doubt inspire street style for seasons to come. Cheeky temporary face tattoos also had a moment (case in point: Doechii’s LV logo and Cynthia Erivo’s heart beauty mark.)<\/p>\n Here, without further ado, our picks for the most memorable beauty looks on the 2025 Met Gala red carpet:<\/p>\n Rock on! The Wild Robot<\/em> actress’s longtime makeup artist, Nick Barose, complemented her Little Richard-inspired outfit by “crafting a makeup look that exuded androgynous rock star glamour,” he says, underscored by “boyish brows” embellished with multi-hued jewels. Radiant skin and brown-toned lips created a strong contrast. He enhanced Nyong’o’s complexion with Chanel\u00a0 No.1 de Chanel Revitalizing Serum<\/a> and Cream<\/a> before applying Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation Hydration and Longwear<\/a> in B140 and BR152,\u00a0 Chanel Joues Contraste Intense Cream-to-Powder Blush in Grenat Profond<\/a> and Chanel Baume Essentiel\u00a0 in Solar Glow<\/a>. Lips were lined with Chanel Le Crayon L\u00e8vres Longwear Lip Pencil in Brun Fonc\u00e9<\/a> before getting a swipe of Rouge Coco Flash Hydrating Vibrant Shine Lip Colour in Dominant<\/a>.<\/p>\n Red hot! The rapper hit the red carpet with a piled-high ponytail inspired by none other than Josephine Baker. Logntime hair collaborator Kellon Deryck fashioned the look, first brushing with Tangle Teezer’s Ultimate Detangler Chrome<\/a> before sculpting and securing. A trail of hair gems capped off the dramatic pony.<\/p>\n The ‘Houdini’ singer kept her makeup simple \u2014 all the better to show off her immaculately styled edges.<\/p>\n A voluminous afro topped off a sexy ’70s-era disco makeup look, creating a next-level glam aura for the ‘Anxiety’ singer.<\/p>\n Fluttery brows and lashes weren’t the only features that gave the Little Mermaid actress a uniquely sweet edge; a bespoke aroma wafted around her, too. The actress blended three perfume mists from fan-favorite fragrance brand Sol de Janeiro to create her signature scent cocktail \u2014 two spritzes of Agua Mistica<\/a> plus two spritzes of Cheirosa 59<\/a> and one spritz of Cheirosa 68<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast paired artfully placed S curls with sharp brows and golden touches on her face. Her makeup artist, Ashley Stewart used Benefit Cosmetics iconic Hoola Bronzer<\/a> in shade Deep as the cornerstone of the glowy look. For the retro arches, a few strokes of Benefit My Brow Pencil in 4.5<\/a> created the strong shape.<\/p>\n A contoured lip line and healthy flush made a strong ’80s makeup statement peeking out from under the Euphoria<\/em> star’s chapeau. Glam pro Ernesto Casillas relied on Charlotte Tilbury makeup for the chic look. He topped Matte Beauty Blush Wand in Pillow Talk<\/a> with Beauty Light Wand in Pinkgasm Sunset<\/a> for the cheeks. The lined lip was courtesy of the brand’s new Lip Cheat Contour Duo<\/a>, with a dab of Big Lip Plumpgasm in Nudgasm Diamonds<\/a> popped in the center for reflective dimension. Hair had strong shine, too. Hairstylist Ursula Stephen ran a few pumps of SheaMoisture Amla Oil Bond Repair<\/a> through locks before securing in a low bun.<\/p>\n Who better to do the Pink Pony Club<\/em> singer’s glam than the Mother of all makeup, Pat McGrath? The glam guru revealed that “we were channeling the glamour and freedom of the disco era \u2014 think Sylvester, Superfly, superfine tailoring nand unapologetic shine.” To achieve this, she sculpted cheeks with Skin Fetish: Divine Blush<\/a> and made up eyes using shades from the Holiday Mega: Luminous Legends<\/a> and Mothership XII: Petalmorphosis<\/a> palettes from her Pat McGrath Labs<\/a> line.<\/p>\n Retro fabulous. Makeup artist Melanie Inglessis. used Dior Beauty to create the Wednesday<\/em> star’s strong look. For the sclupted smoky eyes, dusted lids with shades from the Diorshow 5 Couleurs. in #669 Soft Cashmere<\/a> before drawing an multi-dimensional extended cat eye using Diorshow Liquid Liner<\/a> in 096 Satin Black and #781 Satin Brown. Lashes got a mega pump up with a few swipes of Diorshow Maximizer 4D<\/a> and several coats of Diorshow Overvolume Mascara in #090 Overblack<\/a>. A hyper-chic ombre brown pout \u2014 a combination of Rouge Dior Contour in #510 Wild Brown<\/a> and Rouge Dior in #300 Nude Style Velvet Finish<\/a> \u2014 was the perfect finishing touch.<\/p>\n The Oscar winner’s ultra-sharp bob created by longtime stylist and close friend Mara Roszak was “a nod to the exaggerated shapes found in signature dandy fashion,” the hair pro says. She started by cutting a graduated shape with “a sharp swoop at the jawline.” Next step, a drop of R\u014cZ Santa Lucia Styling Oil<\/a> run through damp hair before blow drying with the Olivia Garden SuperHP Hair Dryer<\/a>. The finishing touch? A dab of R\u014cZ Evergreen Style Cream<\/a> through roots to ends “to define and smooth.”<\/p>\n A mega-long braid added a dramatic dimension the singer-songwriter’s pumped-up neutral makeup.<\/p>\n She’s got the power! The supermodel channelled a pin-up girl with perfectly placed pin curls. Hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos created the “Boudoir Curls” using a roller set “to create a soft, vintage feel,” he says.<\/p>\n “She’s bold, ambitious and fearless,” makeup artist D’Andre Michael says of the type of woman who inspired the Black Panther<\/em> actress’ look. He achieved that assured nobility by offsetting Bassett’s lengthy lashes enhanced with Chanel Le Volume de Chanel Mascara in Noir<\/a> with a burnished lip. Michael painted the pout by prepping with Chanel Le Crayon Levr\u00e8s Longwear Lip Pencil<\/a> in Rouge Noir and Brun Fonc\u00e9 before applying a coat each of Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Luminous Matte Lip Colour<\/a> in Sophistiqu\u00e9e and Elegante.<\/p>\n Cherry red nails offered the perfect pop of color to offset The Substance<\/em> star’s black and white Thom Brown necktie gown.<\/p>\n Green goddess! The rapper’s longtime makeup collaborator Erika Pearl prepped her lips with drugstore hero Aquaphor<\/a> before applying the perfect nude pout.<\/p>\n Nude lips and soft pink makeup added an ’80s egde to the BLACKPINK singer’s blazer dress and boater.<\/p>\n A sculpted feather fascinator blended seamlessly with the SNL comic’s tailored hair. As for her makeup, glam pro Billie Gene used Merit Beauty Flush Balm in Lusitano to even out the complexion before highlighting cheeks with Flush Balm in Rouge<\/a> and Bronze Balm in Monarch<\/a>. For that radiant pout, she lined lips with Signature Sheer Lip Liner in Brownstone<\/a>, then slicked on just one layer of Lipstick in Maison<\/a> and pumped up the shine with a touch of gloss in Biarritz<\/a> “for that dewy, just-bitten finish.”<\/p>\n Elegantly fashioned swoops of hair on the Euphoria actress’ forehead framed bold eyes. To create the sleek ‘do, hairstylist Glen Oropeza prepped locks with Kerastase Genesis Defense Thermique<\/a> to “help control frizz” before blowdrying with the Wavytalk Turblow Pro Fast<\/a>. He then coaxed strands into a polished, slicked bun with the FHI Heat UNBrush<\/a>. A spritz of Kerastsase Laque Extreme<\/a> locked the look in place.<\/p>\n The crooner \u2014 and Keys Soulcare creator \u2014 hit the red carpet with her trademark no-makeup-makeup. She capped off the look with a magnificent bejewelled headdress.<\/p>\n Wings of glory. The performer’s makeup was done by glam guru Pat McGrath, who “wanted to channel the elegance of a hand drawn sketch \u2014 something both animated and architectural.” To achieve this, McGrath sketched the cat eye with PermaPrecision Liquid Eyeliner<\/a> with “a nod to the 1940s and ’50s.” She paired the retro lashlines with pastel eyeshadow from the Mothership XII: Petalmorphosis<\/a> on lids. A bold ruby pout finished the look, created with the Dramatique Mega Lip Pencil in Garnet Glow.<\/a><\/p>\n The performer’s epic edges were fashioned by hair pro Lateafa Alvaranga using Shea Moisture. First, she ran Coconut and Hibiscus Frizz-Free Curl Mousse<\/a> through hair before creating soft waves. She then ran a touch of Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen & Restore Styling Gel<\/a> to sculpt locks with long-lasting hold.<\/p>\n The entrepreneur stunned in an over-the-top leather get up, complete with a chic topper. Her glossy waves peeked out perfectly underneath. Steady hairstylist Chris Appleton styled the ultra-shiny waves, prepping locks with Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray<\/a> to prevent frizz before blow-drying with the Shark Beauty FlexFusion<\/a>, using the Styling Concentrator attachment<\/a> to rough-dry. He then swapped to the Wet or Dry Fusion Brush attachment<\/a> to smooth and close the cuticle. Once hair was sleek, the hair guru used the 1.25″ Curler attachment<\/a> to shape waves. A shot each of Color Wow Texas Hold ‘Em Big Hold Hairspray<\/a> and Extra Mist-ical Shine Spray<\/a> finished the look. Makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic played up Kardashian’s cheeks with high blush, placing Makeup by Mario Soft Pop Plumping Blush Veil in Pink Peony<\/a> and Powder Blush in Poppy Pink<\/a> on cheekbones. He created the soft peachy beige pout by lining with Ultra Suede Plumping Lip Pencil in Almond<\/a> before filling in using Supersatin Lipstick in Flatiron<\/a>.<\/p>\n Because what is bolder than hitting fashion’s highest red carpet sans makeup set against fresh baby bangs? After all, nothing is sexier than having the confidence to embrace going bare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42730,"featured_media":63477,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[47,35],"yoast_head":"\nLupita Nyong’o<\/h3>\n
