Ariana Grande – Ethereal Makeup with Wing Embellishments
Ariana Grande is having a massive 2024. After a four-year music hiatus, she dropped her seventh album, “Eternal Sunshine,” in March. Now, she’s gearing up for the highly awaited release of “Wicked” in November, alongside co-star Cynthia Erivo. Ariana has been gracing all the major awards shows this season, and the Met Gala was not left off her social calendar. Ari rocked her iconic high ponytail, slicked back and deeply parted, letting her delicate “fairy wings” at the corners of her eyes take center stage. With a pink pearlescent lid and soft brown crease, her eyeshadow complements the whimsical wings without overpowering them. Dramatic contouring adds emphasis, while a glossy pink lip and classic French manicure complete her glam look
Amanda Seyfried- Sleek and Silver
Guess what, beauty babes? The Met Gala 2024 just got a splash of color courtesy of Amanda Seyfried! Say bye-bye to her usual golden locks because she’s rocking a bold platinum-blue hue that’s totally stealing the spotlight.
And let’s talk theme vibes – her new hair is giving off major mystical, ethereal feels, like she’s just stepped out of a magical garden. But wait, there’s more! Hairstylist Renato Campora worked his magic, crafting dreamy old Hollywood curls that frame her face like a total glam goddess. And to top it all off? A dazzling gemstone headpiece that’s all leafy-vine chic. Talk about hair goals, right?
Kendall Jenner – Extra Inches
The Met Gala was all about those mesmerizing ethereal waves stealing the spotlight. Boho, sleeping beauty locks never seemed more enchanting, and Kendall Jenner was no stranger to this trend. According to Vogue, the supermodel made history by being the first person to wear a piece from Alexander McQueen’s fall 1999 collection for Givenchy haute couture, and she paired it with extra long- locks.
Zendaya – Bold Makeup
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fiercest of them all? No denying it: Zendaya owned the spotlight with the most breathtaking beauty look at the 2024 Met Gala Red Carpet. Our hearts skipped a beat when we saw her super-intense smokey eye, flawlessly complementing her extravagantly embellished Maison Margiela gown. The Challengers star revamped the timeless all-black look with a captivating halo effect, achieved with a rich berry-hued eyeshadow. Accentuating the eye was a meticulously drawn micro-thin brow, showcasing unparalleled precision by her glam squad.
Aye Edebiri – High Impact Blush
Ayo Edebiri bloomed at the Met Gala. Her high-impact blush was an absolute showstopper, and it caught our eye right away! Picture this: a vibrant flush of color that perfectly harmonizes with the delicate pink flowers adorning her gown. It’s like her cheeks are blooming with the same radiant energy as her outfit.
Kylie Jenner – Ringlet Updo
Kylie Jenner transported us back to Old Hollywood glamour with her ethereal ivory gown. When it came to glam, she opted for sophistication, sporting a radiant blush makeup look and a sleek ballerina bun. Adding a sweet touch, she adorned it with a delicate baby-pink rose that perfectly complemented her dress. And for a touch of whimsy, she left a few strands cascading in ringlet curls, adding an extra layer of charm to her look.
Doja Cat – Siren Eye with Chrome Tears
Doja Cat’s look seemed as if she had just stepped out of the shower. Well, at least that’s the vibe it gave off! When it comes to Doja Cat, one thing’s for sure – she’s all about having a good time. Her makeup took a whimsical twist with a playful interpretation of running mascara and teary eyes. “We used glitter to create shimmering, enchanted tears of joy cascading down her cheeks,” explained Pat McGrath. As usual, she’s the epitome of not taking things too seriously, and we’re absolutely loving it!
Emily Ratajkowski – 90s Inspired Spiky Bun
Emily Ratajkowski’s spiky bun is like a modern twist on the iconic Y2K hair trend, offering a fresh and elevated interpretation. The daring spikes add a touch of edginess to the hairstyle, giving it a contemporary flair while paying homage to the nostalgic vibes of the early 2000s. What’s particularly striking is how the sleek, polished pieces in the front delicately balance out the boldness of the bun, creating a harmonious blend of sophistication and trendiness. It’s a hairstyle that exudes confidence and individuality, making it a standout choice for any fashion-forward occasion.
Emma Chamberlain – Goth Glam
Emma Chamberlain brought all the drama to the table with her striking makeup choice at the event. Opting for a bold statement, she went for a heavy smoky eye that added depth and intensity to her overall look, while also daringly embracing a dark lip that commanded attention. Yet, amidst the theatricality of her makeup, Chamberlain managed to strike the perfect balance by adding two elegantly styled face-framing strands of hair. These delicate tendrils not only softened the intensity of her features but also added a touch of whimsical elegance to her ensemble. It’s this fine balance between boldness and subtlety that truly set her apart, making her look both daring and effortlessly chic.
Huge cheers to all the amazing women and men who strutted their stuff on the red carpet last night. May next year bring on even more inspiring talent, entertainment, and gorgeous fashion for all! We can’t wait to see what trends next season will bring.
