Good as gold! The stars stepped out to the 2022 Met Gala for fashion’s biggest night on Monday, May 2 — and they brought their beauty A-game, too.
After a brief hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event, which is marked by the first Monday of May, is back in action. The annual gala has been in motion since 1948, raising money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.
This year’s them is “In America: An Anthology of Fashion,” and designers and their paired celebrities are bringing major looks to the highly anticipated red carpet with their takes on ‘Gilded Glamour’. The exhibit, which features designs from the 1800s through the mid-late 1900s will be open to the public starting May 7th and will remain open until September 5.
The hosts of the big evening are as spectacular as the event itself. Regina King, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds Lin-Manuel MirandaTake the top honor for the 2022 gala with honorary cochairs Tom FordHead of Instagram Adam MosseriVogue editor in chief, and, of course. Anna Wintour.
But it’s the red carpet for the Met Gala that’s undoubtedly the most anticipated fashion reveal of the year. Fans flock to New York City to admire their favorite celebrities as they take on extravagant looks at the museum’s steps.
We were captivated by the fashion (see every look here), but our hearts also beat fast when we saw the hair and makeup. The Met Gala’s beauty routine is well-known for being extravagant. Take, for example, Lupita Nyong’o‘s piled high hair in 2016. For this year, standouts include Lala Vasquez, wearing an ornate headpiece and smoky eyes with a burgundy cutout LaQuan Smith dress and Cynthia Erivo’s bold topper.
The biggest trend of night was tiara-adorned hair. This was seen on Emma Chamberlain (Blake Lively) and Anna Wintour (Anna Wintour).
When it came to hair, we loved Vanessa Hudgen’s intricately woven updo and Lively’s sweet, textured waves.
As for makeup, we swooned over the jewel-toned plum lids on Rachel Smith, Vasquez and Hudgens as well as Chamberlain’s literally ‘gilded’ eyes!
