Share via: Facebook Twitter Email Copy Link More With the first Monday in May just around the corner, there’s one thing everyone in the beauty world looks forward to: the Met Gala — and the best, most out-of-the-box beauty looks to come from it. An annual tradition since 1948 (except in 1991, 2000, 2002 and 2020), the celebration always manages to gather the biggest stars in Hollywood. 2022’s theme was “Gilded Glamor,” 2021’s was “American Independence,” and now, for the 2023 Met Gala, the dress code is “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” for the late designer. With that as a guide for guests, it’s safe to say there will be plenty of hair and makeup moments to look forward to. That also means there’s no better time to reflect on the best beauty moments that have graced the red carpet in recent years. Past Met Galas have given us more than enough beauty inspiration to reminisce. There are multi-layered updos adorned with precious jewels, stereotype-defying manicures, truly transformative makeup displays, and even body makeup that doubled as clothing. Some moments are purely theatrical, while others are full of meaning. With its fashion-focused overarching theme, this event delivers some of the most unique beauty moments we’ve seen. This is all to say that it’s going to be hard to top the wildly creative hair, makeup, and nail looks we’ve seen from some of our favorite celebs in the past. Ahead, we take a look back at some of our favorite Met Gala beauty moments from the past decade. – Additional reporting by Jessica Harrington Blake Lively’s hair at the 2022 Met Gala Blake Lively’s tiara was interrupted by the crown braid sitting just below the base. 1/23 Kaia Gerber’s hair at the 2022 Met Gala Kaia Gerber’s hair was the star of her 2022 Met Gala look.

It was inspired by the spirit of the Statue of Liberty, which holds significant significance for poets as it is the headgear worn by the god Apollo, the patron of lyric poetry. 6/23 Hailee Steinfeld’s hair and makeup at the 2021 Met Gala Hailee Steinfeld was almost unrecognizable with her blunt-cut blonde bob. 7/23 Lupita Nyong’o’s hair and makeup at the 2021 Met Gala Lupita Nyong’o’s sculptural Met Gala hairstyle, inspired by the ’90s with a mix of old Hollywood western movies, had gravity-defying volume with curled strands of hair on her forehead. 8/23 Barbie Ferreira’s hair at the 2021 Met Gala Barbie Ferreira donned a completely different look to the 2021 Met Gala, swapping her signature black hair for a “bronze tan” and centerpiece jewelry. 9/23 Gigi Hadid’s wispy lashes at the 2019 Met Gala Image Source: Getty/Karwai Tang Makeup artist Erin Parsons applied individual feathers to Gigi Hadid’s lashes to create this wispy, otherworldly look. 10/23 Priyanka Chopra’s hair and makeup at the 2019 Met Gala Priyanka Chopra arrived at the 2019 Met Gala looking like a sexy version of the Mad Hatter from “Alice in Wonderland” with a silver crown and creative eye makeup. 11/23 Elle Fanning’s Nails at the 2019 Met Gala Tiny charms dangled from Elle Fanning’s neon nails and set off major “I Dream of Jeannie” vibes. 12 / 23 Harry Styles’s Nails at the 2019 Met Gala Harry Styles once again defied gender stereotypes and wore mismatched blue nail polish on the red carpet. 13 / 23 Lady Gaga’s hair and makeup at the 2019 Met Gala We can’t decide which part we like better about Lady Gaga’s 2019 Met Gala look: her over-the-top lashes, graphic eyeliner, giant pink hair bow, or tiny hair bows underneath. 14 / 23 Lily Collins’ hair and makeup at the 2018 Met Gala Image Source: Getty/Gilbert Carrasquillo Lily Collins’ gothic makeup at the Met Gala paid homage to the “dark arts,” according to her makeup artist, Fiona Stiles.
