Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty ImagesWe've taken 10 screenshots of Kylie Jenner's gorgeous updo because we want to try it ASAP. That, and her '90s supermodel-inspired makeup.

John Shearer/Getty ImagesKendall Jenner opted for a slicked-back ponytail, making her the antithesis to her sister's dreamy up-swept strands.

Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty ImagesCurled tendrils and a Cinderella-esque updo perfectly frame Kim Kardashian's signature nude lip and smouldering eye look.

Noam Galai/Getty ImagesHow perfect are Ashley Park's dramatic side part, voluminous curls, and metallic eye shadow?
Photo:
Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty ImagesThere were multiple Choupette-inspired looks on the Met Gala red carpet this year (looking at you, Jared Leto and Doja Cat). But Lil Nas X's interpretation included shimmering chrome skin and jewel-crusted lips.

Jamie McCarthy/Getty ImagesFlorence Pugh debuted a buzz cut, and we might be more shocked than we were seeing Jessica Chastain's platinum blonde strands earlier in the night. Her A+ smokey eye and peachy matte lip pull everything together.
Photo:
Jamie McCarthy/Getty ImagesWe immediately wanted to copy Gigi Hadid's understated eye jewels and pulled-back half-up hairstyle.
Photo:
Jamie McCarthy/Getty ImagesWe think Anne Hathaway's retro half-up hairstyle, glossy nude lip, and dramatic winged shadow would make Miranda Priestly proud.

Jamie McCarthy/Getty ImagesHot-pink blush, the sharpest cat-eye liner, and micro bangs with a high pile of curls: Lizzo's beauty aesthetic is one of our favourites.

Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty ImagesElle Fanning is another celebrity who got the pink-blush memo this year! The effect is dainty and elegant paired with her floral accents.
Photo:
Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty ImagesBillie Eilish proves again and again that she's the ultimate chameleon when it comes to beauty. Stunning makeup aside, her beaded-and-ribbon-streaked braid is the star here.
Photo:
Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty ImagesWe're not sure what we love more, Quinta Brunson's beautiful lilac eye shadow or her amazing updo and perfectly curled edges. “For Quinta’s look, we decided to traverse the intersection between hair and high fashion, creating an artistic crown headpiece using her natural voluminous curls and coils to make a statement and up the ante on her signature updo," explains her hairstylist Alexander Armand

Kevin Mazur/Getty ImagesThe epitome of immaculate, Ashley Graham's glossy finger waves and rosy makeup are what beauty dreams are made of. “Inspired by her pink satin and black velvet gown, I decided to give her a classic 90’s glam, matte skin, flushed rosy blush, matte smokey eyes, and a beautiful matte lip," says makeup artist Ivan Núñez. "A timeless and beautiful look for the Met Gala.”

Kevin Mazur/Getty ImagesWe're getting major retro vibes (inspired by Lagerfield muse, Claudia Schiffer, no less!) from Sydney Sweeney, thanks to her megawatt volume of hair and almost Twiggy-like bottom lashes.
Photo:
Noam Galai/Getty ImagesPearls are definitely a recurring theme on the red carpet. The ones Kerry Washington wore complemented her gorgeous updo, which had pearls pinned in the back, and shimmering charcoal gaze.
Photo:
Theo Wargo/Getty ImagesEven though pink is quite notably the colour trend for Met-Gala makeup this year, Salma Hayek makes a great case for red. And can we take a moment for her rose-dipped pony?
Photo:
Noam Galai/Getty ImagesJessica Chastain shocked everyone by showing up to the Met Gala with platinum blonde hair instead of her signature red. Her highlighted skin and moody smokey eye are the cherries on top.
Photo:
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesWe're not saying we called this, but we totally called this. Doja Cat stepped onto the red carpet as Choupette, Lagerfeld's beloved blue-cream tortie Birman cat.

Getty Images/Noam GalaiAnd just like that, Amanda Seyfried has us craving disco-esque curls and the boldest of crimson lips.
Photo:
Getty Images/Theo WargoWith neon pink and green dusted from her cheekbones to the inner corners of her eyelids, Suki Waterhouse looks completely ethereal. We're also in love with her romantic, Bardot-inspired hairstyle.
Photo:
Getty Images/Noam GalaiWe're mesmerised by the model's work-of-art-caliber hair and makeup. From pearl-studded hair, ears, and skin, to pink, glitter-spackled eyes, we're obsessed.
Photo:
Theo Wargo/Getty ImagesWe can't get over Naomi Campbell. From her glossy pink lips to her perfectly winged cat-eye liner to her opalescent pink eye shadow, her look is everything.
Photo:
Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty ImagesSpeaking of pink, Irina Shayk's monochromatic hot pink eyelids and popsicle-stained lips are already one of our favourite makeup moments of the night. She kept the rest of her look fresh with a light coat of mascara and radiant skin.
Photo:
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesKate Moss accentuated her green eyes with brow-grazing lashes and a healthy coat of eyeliner. She kept it classic with the I-just-woke-up-like-this textured hair she's known for.
Photo:
Theo Wargo/Getty ImagesThe supermodel kept her look effortless and minimal à la glowing bronzed skin, fluttery lashes, and light pink lips. Her signature beachy-bronde waves punctuated her look, of course.
Photo:
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesEmRata is always one of our most-anticipated Met Gala attendees—her micro bangs and smouldering smokey eye don't disappoint.
Photo:
Noam Galai/Getty ImagesWe love that Emma Chamberlain is back to host the 2023 Met Gala red carpet. We also love her monochromatic look, complete with hazy blue lids and lots (and lots) of eyeliner.
Photo:
Noam Galai/Getty ImagesPenélope Cruz is a vision in white, with a shimmery copper lid and a glossy pink lip to complement.
Photo:
Cindy Ord/Getty ImagesIt's hard not to stare at Dua Lipa's 100-carat necklace. To accent it, the singer kept her look understated with a peachy-matte lip, glittering eyes, and ultra-glossy waves.
Photo:
Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty ImagesOur jaws literally dropped when we saw Rita Ora arrive on the red carpet. Her lined nude lip, smudgy eyeshadow, and long crimped strands are perfection.
