The Best Beauty Looks From the 2025 Met Gala

The 2025 Met Gala is bringing fashion's most anticipated night to life with an equally show-stopping display of beauty. As always, the star-studded event is proving to be the ultimate playground for boundary-pushing style, where the glam becomes an extension of the couture on the red carpet. Over the years, the event has delivered unforgettable moments — including Gigi Hadid's frosted silver lashes for "Camp," Rihanna's radiance for "Heavenly Bodies" and even Kim Kardashian's wet hair and bronzed skin during "Manus x Machina."

This year, the theme of "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" is celebrating Black fashion's legacy, with co-chairs A$AP Rocky, Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo, Pharrell Williams and Anna Wintour leading the way. From Doechii to Teyana Taylor, the beauty is expressive, unique and its own individual masterpiece.

Whether it's the hair, makeup or nails, these looks are visual testaments to the history and influence of Black Dandyism.

Doechii

Donning an afro and a Louis Vuitton logo on her cheeks, Doechii did what she does best and delivered a look that was equal parts avant-garde and unapologetic.

Emma Chamberlain

Emma Chamberlain stunned with a wispy pixie cut and sultry, wine-toned makeup. She wore flushed crimson cheeks and a light red lip that tied everything together. Her stylist, Sami Knight, wanted to give Chamberlain an edge. "For soft, effortless volume that I could manipulate into punky spikiness, I used the Function of Beauty's 'Zero Gravity' Mousse," Knight said in a press statement. "Its cloud-like foam texture allows for flexible hold without ever feeling stiff or crunchy."

LaLa Anthony

Delivering regal elegance, LaLa Anthony pulled her hair back into a sculptural updo, letting her glowing skin and matte lips take center stage.

Teyana Taylor

Teyana Taylor never does subtle and her look at the Met Gala proved it —  she paired burgundy smokey eyes with a red durag, balancing softness and edge.

Zendaya

Zendaya's glam team was inspired by the era of '90s supermodels, crafting her makeup with Charlotte Tilbury. Her MUA, Ernesto Casillas, painted on that signature runway lip with the brand's "Super Nudes Shapewear Lip Cheat Duo" for a contouring effect and added plump and shine with the "Big Lip Plumpgasm" Lip Plumper in "Nudegasm Diamonds."

Sha'Carri Richardson

Sha'Carri Richardson brought her flair to the Met Gala with her signature ornate nail extensions and a sweep of dreamy lilac eyeshadow, embodying a look that screamed ethereal beauty.

Jennie

Wearing head-to-toe Chanel inspired by Coco herself, Jennie's beautiful and simple makeup channeled classic Parisian elegance — soft eyes, rosy cheeks and a petal-pink lip let her natural beauty shine through.

Simone Biles

A true makeup enthusiast, Simone Biles kicked off her Met Gala prep with a full-body skincare session courtesy of Murad. "I always say that full glam starts with body prep," her MUA, Ashley Stewart, shared in a press statement. "I used Murad's "Retinal Resculpt" Body Treatment on Simone from the neck down [...] to instantly hydrate and visibly firm. It's like shapewear in a bottle."

Megan Thee Stallion

Inspired by performer Josephine Baker, celebrity hairstylist Kellon Deryck utilized brushes from Tangle Teezer to style Megan Thee Stallion's bedazzled updo. "[I] teased her deep-wave ponytail and smoothed it," Deryck said in a press statement. He described the look as "strong and powerful."

Valentina Ferrer

Model Valentina Ferrer wanted to represent the women of the Second World War while wearing a polka dot dress from Marc Jacobs. "For Valentina's look, Marc had requested to pull inspiration from the iconic Veronica Lake, whose glamorous persona and 'peekaboo' wave became a symbol of resilience and feminine independence during the difficult time of WW2," her stylist, Davey Matthews, said in a press statement. All products used were from the haircare brand milk_shake.
