Met Gala 2023, a.k.a. fashion’s biggest night out, is finally here. But even though we’re constantly refreshing our feeds to see what our favorite celebs are wearing on the iconic Met steps, it should be noted that we’re equally excited to see all the hair and makeup looks too. There’s no denying that glam can make or break a look—but luckily, this year’s attendees seem to have enlisted the best skin care experts and makeup artists to ace the red carpet.
The biggest makeup trends of the night—which took place on Monday, May 1—are no surprise. Minimalist and clean girl makeup ruled the red carpet, with stars opting for flawless skin and pink cherub cheeks and lips. Celebs like Jennie Kim, Maya Hawke, and Ashley Graham gave us a master class in soft glam and made the case for less is more. Meanwhile, the rockstar girlfriend aesthetic proved alive and well with stars like Adut Akech, Kerry Washington, and Emma Chamberlain wearing heavy kohl-lined eyes, black eyeshadow, and lipsticks that would make Jenny Humphrey proud.
