The Most Memorable Beauty Moments From the 2022 Met Gala

It might be fashion’s biggest night of the year, but that doesn’t mean beauty takes a backseat on the Met Gala red carpet. And Monday night’s “gilded glamour” theme saw many celebs up the fashion ante even further with their chosen beauty looks.

The 2022 Met Gala brought together the biggest names in the entertainment, fashion and beauty industries, and A-list attendees wore their most avant-garde ensembles, resulting in red carpet buzz surrounding the parade of experimental garments. But this year proved that hair, makeup and nails are part of the overall package.

After all, it was during the Gilded Age that cosmetics became more accessible thanks to the industrial revolution. And while the era’s penchant for soft hues translated to rosy cheeks on the 2022 Met Gala red carpet, many celebrities took a more modern approach to beauty with colourful lids, dewy skin and, yes, bleached eyebrows.

We’ve rounded up the most memorable beauty moments from the 2022 Met Gala in the gallery below.
