Must knows: The 2019 Met Gala Hair and Makeup Looks Everyone Is Talking About

No red carpet is as hotly anticipated as the one at the Met Gala, especially given that this year's "Camp" theme is guaranteed to turn out some truly unforgettable looks. The annual Costume Institute Benefit—a.k.a. the Metropolitan Museum of Art Gala—is such a big deal for the fashion-obsessed it's earned itself nicknames like "the East Coast Oscars" and "Fashion Prom." But for those of us who are as equally excited about celebrity hair and makeup, today is the unofficial anniversary for major celebrity makeovers.

Go ahead and scroll through every look you won't want to miss—and be sure to check back.

Gigi Hadid

This alien-chic look might be more "Heavenly Bodies" than "Camp," but we're too busy staring to care.

Lupita Nyong'o

You'd better believe those are hand-painted gold Afro picks in her hair. Lupita did that.

Behold the Yeehaw Barbie of your dreams wearing a full face of Pat McGrath. (That lip color is a mix of MatteTrance in Polaroid Pink and Extravaganza.)

Tell you what: That L'Oréal contract is not disappointing.

Someone please tell us why we've been deprived of Laverne on the Met Gala red carpet all these years, because she turned it outtonight.

Cardi B

It's hard to outshine $250,000 nipple covers, but that lipstick (a combination of Pat McGrath MatteTrance in Guinevere and Vendetta) sure does come close.

If you can break your gaze away from her headpiece, you'll see that Gemma bedazzled both her nails and her fingers.

Ava DuVernay

Emerald eyeshadow is having a moment, but we've yet to see it traced alone at the inner corners. So cool.

Emma Stone

Emma never fails to nail plain old pretty, and this glittery winged liner (with a pop of blue on the lower lash line) is one for the books.
