Who doesn’t love the Met Gala? Every year celebrities gather in New York City at the request of Anna Wintour to celebrate fashion through an inevitably strange and specific dress code.
This year saw everyone from Kim Kardashian to Simone Ashley don a distinctly opulent style to honour the 2022 Met Gala: “In America: An Anthology of Fashion”.
So strap in and grab your snacks because with the extensive guest list, you’re in it for the long haul.
This is the 2022 Met Gala red carpet beauty review…
Kim Kardashian
You didn’t have to be psychic to predict that people were going to go crazy when Kim Kardashian showed up to the Met Gala with boyfriend Pete Davidson. The intrigue was inevitable. What we weren’t expecting was the simple slip-style dress and refined blonde updo she showcased…
Winnie Harlow
Winnie Harlow really captured our hearts and imaginations when she graced us all with this literal piece of art.
Bella Hadid
All anyone can talk about after Coachella is baby braids, but Bella Hadid’s interpretation for the evening was something we’ve never seen on the red carpet before.
Olivia Rodrigo
If we can’t find replicas of Olivia Rodrigo’s adorable butterfly accessories to wear in our hair by the time spring rolls around, we’re gonna scream.
Kendall Jenner
Kendall Jenner made the case for bleached eyebrows and big lashes. What a match made in heaven.
Hailey Bieber
Trust Hailey Bieber to keep things simple and understated on the red carpet. We’d take issue with it, if it wasn’t so damn good.
Laura Harrier
Laura Harrier’s eyeshadow left us truly mesmerised – that subtle shimmer is everything.
Nicola Coughlan
The Bridgerton star coordinated her eye makeup with her pink and black ensemble perfectly.
Simone Ashley
We NEED to know which products Simone Ashley used to create that wet-look sheen finish on her hair and we need to know NOW.
Gigi Hadid
Gigi Hadid mixed things up with a scarlet moment on the red carpet that she matched with her lipstick and nails.
Lizzo
Lizzo’s hair was one of our favourite looks of the evening and gave us refined glamour and outrageous volume in equal measure.
Chloe Bailey
Chloe Bailey’s neckpiece really stole the show on the red carpet but we were desperately squinting to get a closer look at her yellow inner corner highlight.
Billie Eilish
You can count on Billie Eilish to always do the unexpected at the Met Gala and this year was no exception.
Phoebe Bridgers
Phoebe Bridgers’ hair somehow managed to throw the same shade as her crystal-embellished gown. Magic.
Phoebe Dynevor
Phoebe Dynevor did the impossible, creating a dramatic, gothic look with minimal makeup and long brunette waves.
Kaia Gerber
Kaia Gerber’s hair was a glorious thing to behold. We’re talking bundles of ringlets *chefs kiss*.
Sydney Sweeney
We didn’t think a smokey eye could look this refined but Sydney Sweeney’s shown us that the classic eye look is black tie appropriate.
Iris Law
Blue eyeshadow is bold any day of the week but Iris Law went one step further and smoked out her frosty blue eye makeup to the tops of her cheekbones for maximum impact.
Chloe Grace Moretz
We can’t stop staring at Chloe Grace Moretz’s skin. No seriously, we need to know what base and cheek products she’s wearing because her complexion is flawless.
Emma Chamberlain
Emma Chamberlain added a glimmer of gold to her smokey eye and a touch of rouge to her cheeks for the red carpet.
Camila Cabello
Camila Cabello let her hair upstage her makeup with a flower-adorned updo.
Nicola Peltz
Newlywed Nicola Peltz can do no wrong when it comes to makeup. As for her hair? We love the subtle, naturally wavy shag.
