The 10 Best Makeup and Hair Looks at Met Gala 2021

1.Rosé Blackpink

All hail princess Rosé! It is definitely a memorable day for K-Pop fans all over the world, as Rosé from Blackpink and CL are among the first female idols that attend the Met Gala. She made her debut on the red carpet alongside Anthony Vaccarello, a Yves Saint Laurent creative director. She kept her makeup natural and we are definitely obsessed with her eye makeup look. The graphic eyeliner and blonde eyebrows are a combo that we thought we never need! Added with her pink shade lips, we got a major K-beauty vibe from her!

2. Gigi Hadid

If there’s one celebrity that making headlines after today’s appearance, it has to be Gigi Hadid. Apart from her white Prada gown, she steals the event with her fiery red locks. Her hairstylist, Esther Langham style up her hair in high ponytails and accessorized it with a Prada logo hair clip. We love her makeup and it reminds us of the 60s looks. With her baby blue eyeshadow and cat eyeliner, it is super gorgeous. The secret to her voluminous lashes is the Maybelline Falsies Lash Lift Mascara.

3.Kim Kardashian

Okay, we know what you’re thinking! The moment we saw Kim Kardashian donned that all black outfit that literally covers her from head to toe, it is definitely a head scratching puzzle. In fact, the internet was quick to create several memes that actually worth watching. If we look beyond the artistic aspect, she has delivered something extraordinary that the attendees have never done before. Besides, who says that beauty is all about donning that splash of colourful shades?

4.Maisie Williams

Maisie Williams exudes mystery with her gothic inspired makeup and hairdo. She also complements her looks with black and green nails. We certainly love her makeup! The smokey black eyeshadow and burgundy lips really do match each other well. If you take a closer look, you can spot a black dotted just underneath her lower lash line. So, the next time you want to take your look to the next level, simply add the dotted eyeliner trend to finish it off.

5. CL

If Rosé Blackpink was the princess of the day, CL is the queen that literally stuns everyone during the Met Gala 2021. She complements her Alexander Wang outfit with the signature cat eye look and nude lips. The gravity defying hair is definitely a show stopper and it is without a doubt a tribute to her Korean roots. We really need 101 tips on how to do her hair though!

6. Kendall Jenner

Kendall Jenner never fails to impress us with her red carpet moment. As a seasoned attendee of the Met Gala event, she has amped up her game this year with a jaw dropping Givenchy dress and impeccable makeup. Her overall looks were inspired by Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady. Her makeup artist, Mary Phillips accentuates her eye with thick eyeliner and complements it with rosy hue lipstick. Kendall’s hair was styled in a slicked with middle-parted bun, which is proven perfect for every type of occasion.

7. Lorde

Lorde, please have mercy on us! She graces the red carpet with her ethereal makeup and the headpiece was the centre of the look. Her barely there makeup accentuates her features and pout. Plus, we also noticed a subtle shade of rosy blush applied near the cheekbones and brow bone for a whimsical effect. Take note Beauties because draping is back!

8. Billie Eilish

Billie Eilish was one of the co-host of the event and she certainly gave off the Marilyn Monroe vibe with her Oscar de la Renta dress. According to makeup artist, Robert Rumsey, “The inspiration behind Billie’s makeup look was old Hollywood glamour meets rockstar. We paired a rich, smoldering smokey eye and a nude lip with an illuminating highlighter for the ultimate Hollywood glass-like glow.” Her makeup products for the star-studded event was mainly created using the  Charlotte Tilbury products, specifically, the Super Nudes Nudegasm Face Palette and Runway Royalty Lipstick.

9. Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez really slays the Met Gala 2021! Staying true to the theme of the event, she channels her inner cowboy girl with the Wild West inspired outfit. All we can guess is that her staple beauty products are none other than the JLo Beauty. Her makeup is the epitome of her signature looks which is the nude lips, bronzy glow and smokey eye makeup. Utterly perfection!

Camilla Cabello shows that single eyeshadow is still a trend that you need to hop in! Her makeup artist, Patrick Ta mostly used L’Oreal makeup products for the event.
