- Zendaya
For her first Met Gala appearance in five years, Zendaya made up for lost time with not one, but two red carpet looks, both designed by John Galliano. She may be dressed like a fairytale villain but we’re rooting for her anyway. She gave art goth realness for this year’s MET Gala, with cherry cola eye shadow, monochromatic merlot red lips and vampy burgundy nails. Her look was made extra-striking with thin ‘90s brows. And how could you miss the elaborate fascinator on her head, while her low bun – inspired by the shape of a calla lily! And, as a modern-day Hollywood icon, she knew social media would not be satisfied without extra servings. Thus, it was a daring choice that she pulled off effortlessly.
2. Jennifer Lopez
Embodying her signature ‘JLo glow’, Lopez matched her make-up to her beaded Schiaparelli haute couture gown with radiant delicate highlights. Well, JLo definitely floated onto the 2024 MET Gala carpet looking like a fairy queen. Her barely-there icy makeup added an otherworldly essence to her already ethereal look while her messy bun kept it down to earth. Hairstylist Lorenzo Martin moulded into the highest bun by Lorenzo Martin, reading romantic, soft and ethereal. Giving Lopez a tousled bun using Tangle Teezer the Ultimate Styler Hairbrush and The Ultimate Teaser Backcombing Hairbrush. To execute J.Lo’s perfectly tousled bun, her style team kept this tangle-fighting, hairbrush on hand.
3. Doja Cat
If there’s one thing Doja Cat is going to do, it’s given us some fantasy. As we’re crying our eyes out over Doja Cat’s MET Gala makeup—and apparently, so is she. The rapper perfectly carved tear stains over Pat McGrath makeup with silver glitter. With such metallic tears, Doja Cat once again excelled at pushing beauty boundaries, committed to contrasting delicacy and drama as per the theme. While her sharp smoky eye (painted with the Pat McGrath Mothership X: Moonlit Seduction Palette) and thin brows stayed intact. Doja’s smoky cat eye is a mix of lots of black pencil and liquid liner and a generous coating of Pat McGrath Fetish EYES mascara.
4. Cardi B
Cardi B hit the green carpet with a sky-high turban and striking emerald-colored contacts, as she continued her streak of giving us memorable MET Gala moments. By looking like royalty with a regal body glow created using Vaseline’s Radiant X Replenishing body oil and a Bridgerton-worthy beehive look created by Tokyo Stylez using Got2B hair products to keep every hair in place. Her 3D lipstick nails with asymmetrical French tips were inspired by “a rose stem’s thorn” and carried the bold pops of teal on her nail tips to her makeup using NYX Cosmetics Epic Wear pencil liner in ‘Intense Teal’ paired with a soft and smokey glam using their Ultimate Utopia shadow palette. For Cardi’s glossy lined lip, she used NYX Cosmetics lip pencil in ‘Brown’ and Butter Gloss in ‘Peaches and Cream.’
5. Anok Yai
When clad in a catsuit adorned with 98,000 Swarovski crystals, it becomes challenging to decide how to enhance one’s glamour, because, in that moment, you are the GLAM. Anok Yai, opted for a radiant finish on her skin, with her dazzling purple blush highlighter. When it comes to achieving luminous skin, she consistently excels! Well, Anok made a grand entrance, with a feathered pixie cut and an icy makeup look crafted by Lancôme, makeup artist Sheika Daley. The glowy base complemented her shimmery blue inner eye and iridescent cheek highlight. No detail was overlooked; even her Swarovski gloves sparkled, and she sported cat-eye baby blue nails adorned with a silver charm.
6. Cynthia Erivio
Wicked star Cynthia Erivo made a bold statement at the event with her striking makeup and attention-grabbing nails. She opted for Haus Labs makeup, achieving a theatrical cherry pink cheek highlight. Her stiletto-style nails featured an iridescent OPI French tip by Rose Hackle. But let’s talk about those lashes! Cynthia’s long wispy top and bottom lashes stole the show, resembling the spires of a flower. Paired with her glistening pink eyeshadow, they created the ultimate lash moment on the red carpet. The whimsical wispiness provided a delightful contrast to her overall look. While, makeup artist Sam Fine used exclusively Haus Labs products to achieve her radiant complexion.
