And just like that, the 2025 Met Gala has come and gone—but the beauty looks? Unforgettable. Held at the iconic Met Museum, this year’s theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, brought bold glamour to the blue carpet in true Dandy fashion.
From kiss curls and flicked-out bobs to bejeweled brows (yes, Lupita!), stars embraced the spirit of sharp tailoring and expressive style with next-level hair and makeup. Crisp liner, sculptural waves, and polished cuts stole the spotlight—because at the Met Gala safe is never on the dress code.
Below, see our picks of the standout beauty moments that defined the night:
Jenna Ortega- Retro Waves
Jenna Ortega’s sleek center part echoed the sharp lines of her ‘ruler’ dress, while soft finger waves at the front added a touch of old-Hollywood glamour. Dark berry-lined lips, plum eyeshadow, and a precise winged liner gave the look a moody, seductive finish.
Sydney Sweeney – Kiss Curls with a Swirled Bun
Sydney Sweeney channeled vintage glamour with a swirled bun and sculpted kiss curls, nodding to classic flapper style with a modern twist. Her updo gleamed with mirror-like shine, adding to the polished, retro vibe. A sharp double liner and a hint of white at the waterline brought extra drama to the look, perfectly balancing elegance with a bold, graphic edge.
Anne Hathaway- Half-up Ponytail
Anne Hathaway brought high drama with a voluminous half-up, half-down ponytail that struck the perfect balance between elegance and edge. The height at the crown added a touch of retro glamour, while the cascading waves kept the look soft, flowing, and effortlessly chic.
Joey King- Sculpted Waves with Metallic Smoky Eye
Joey King turned heads with sleek, sculpted waves and high-gloss volume that brought a touch of old-school glamour to the blue carpet. Her makeup struck a perfect balance—soft mauve lips paired with bold, smoky metallic liner and a wash of golden shimmer across the lids for a radiant, high-impact finish.
Kylie Jenner- Sleek, Side-Parted Updo
Kylie brought the glam with a glossy side-parted updo that gave major vintage starlet vibes. Her makeup was soft and flirty—think shiny mauve lips, glowing skin, and just the right touch of shimmer on the eyes. The whole look was polished, pretty, and totally red carpet ready!
Zendaya- Sculpted Bun
Zendaya was the definition of cool-girl glam in her sharp white suit and oversized hat, but it was her sleek, sculpted bun that tied the whole look together—literally. Pulled back to perfection, the bun added just the right amount of polish and let her bronzy, smoky eye moment and glowing skin shine. Classic, bold, and effortlessly fierce—Zendaya nailed it again.
Because let’s be honest—she’s not just serving looks, she is the queen of the Met Gala.
Lisa- Voluminous Updo
Lisa’s hair was a total showstopper—a voluminous, high-shine updo that brought all the drama in the best way. With soft height at the crown and perfectly tucked ends, it gave her look a retro-cool edge while still feeling fresh and futuristic. It was giving luxe vacation energy with a White Lotus twist—glamorous, mysterious, and just a little bit dangerous. Basically, the kind of hair that belongs in a high-fashion murder mystery.
Serena Williams- Flicked Finger Wave Bob
Serena Williams absolutely owned the Met Gala with her flawless retro-inspired waves. Styled in sleek, glossy finger waves, her bob gave off major Old Hollywood vibes with a modern twist. The soft waves framed her face beautifully, adding a timeless elegance while still feeling fresh and bold. It was the perfect blend of sophistication and fierce confidence.
A round of applause for everyone who lit up the blue carpet with unforgettable style and serious star power. Here’s to even more talent, creativity, and stunning fashion moments next year—we’re already counting down.
