Insider Trends: All of The Best Beauty Looks at The Met Gala 2024

As the iconic fashion event, the Met Gala, rolled out its red carpet, A-list celebrities graced the runway. Embracing the theme of “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” we got to marvel at the hottest celebrities showcasing their distinctive interpretations of style, reflected not only in their avant-garde fashion but also in their makeup and hairstyles. While there’s much to be said about the grandiose soiree, particularly given that many celebrities didn’t adhere to the theme, let’s shift our focus to the standout beauty looks from the Met Gala 2024 that are worth adding to your moodboard.

The Best Beauty Looks at the Met Gala 2024

1. Zendaya

Crowned in our first spot for the best beauty looks at the Met Gala is Zendaya, who literally brought drama to the red carpet. She surprised us by serving two looks, starting with her initial appearance in Maison Margiela by John Galliano, featuring bold makeup complete with thin brows, smokey eyeshadow, and dark wine lips. Her hair was styled in an updo inspired by the calla lily. For her second look, she kept it minimal with a bouquet-like hairpiece wrapped in black tulle.

2. Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande wore a custom white Loewe bustier dress with a minimal soft makeup look, featuring her eyes adorned with pearly shells that add just the right amount of oomph to her overall appearance. Who says you need an over-the-top makeup look just to garner attention?

3. FKA Twigs

We are floored by FKA Twigs’ look from head to toe, and needless to say, we’re adding it to our moodboard. Apart from her glazed donut skin and minimalist nude makeup, the aptly scattered rhinestones embellished across her eyes are the next big trend we’re eyeing.

4. Gigi Hadid

Gigi Hadid, decked in Thom Browne’s dress, looks stunning with her Old Hollywood style, reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe. Keeping to her theme, she donned a wavy side-parted bob paired with vibrant red lipstick and a flush of natural peachy hue. Her look epitomises timeless classic beauty.

5. Jennie Kim

Jennie Kim of Blackpink made a memorable red carpet appearance as she strutted in her vibrant blue cobalt dress from Alaïa. We admired her soft glamorous look with nude lips, thick eyeliner, and metallic eyeshadow, while her hair was styled in an updo with an elegant touch.

6. Tyla

Tyla, the award-winning Grammy artist, swept us off our feet with her Met Gala beauty look. She completed her jaw-dropping sand gown from Balmain with her signature eyebrow slit, cat eyeliner, 90s ombre lips, and a side-parted wet bob. We love how glamorous her makeup and hair look without being too much.

7. Elle Fanning

This year, the trend is all about going back to natural with a dewy complexion and barely-there makeup, as seen on Elle Fanning. The nude lipstick, natural flush of rosy blush, and subtle glow of highlighter complement her Balmain gown, paying homage to the theme. We heard the secret behind her glowy visage is L’Oréal’s True Match Lumi Glotion.
