While the Met Gala is, first and foremost, about fashion, we'd argue that no look is really complete until beauty comes into play. In fact, year after year, it's the beauty looks that often linger in our collective consciousness, long after the guests have made their way up the hallowed Met steps.
In 2024, Zendaya went bold with a deep lip and burgundy smokey eye — the perfect complement to her Maison Margiela Artisanal by John Galliano gown. The year prior, we were glued to our screens as Doja Cat paid tribute to Karl Lagerfeld by emulating none other than his cat, Choupette. The musician was unrecognisable in a hand-beaded Oscar de La Renta gown — but it was the prosthetic nose and feline-esque makeup look that really sold the story. And in 2025, there's more history-making beauty moments to behold.
Below, we're bringing you the best beauty looks from the 2025 Met Gala, as it happens.
