It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for, and for a bit longer than usual: 2021’s Met Gala. It might not be the first Monday of May, when fashion’s most elite typically convene (the Costume Institute’s annual affair was canceled last year and postponed to this September due to COVID-19), but better late than never, and we’re anxiously anticipating how our favorite designers, models, and Hollywood stars interpret this year’s theme “In America: A Lexicon Of Fashion,” on the red carpet.
Now, the attendees will be required to wear masks once they’re inside and the event is set to be comparably smaller and more intimate than years past, but there will still be a step and repeat happening on the iconic Met steps. And, most assuredly, lots of amazing fashion and beauty moments. Anyone who is familiar with the event will know that attendees pull out all the stops when it comes to what they wear, and a matching, dare we say, balls-to-the-wall hair and makeup aesthetic is more important for this red carpet than any other. We’re anticipating a true feast for the eyes and will be snapshotting each and every head-turning beauty look in real-time, below. Keep scrolling!

You’re going to notice a trend on this red carpet—glittering stones on the hair, face, and body. Here, Saweetie epitomizes.
Williams’s ultra-deep side part gives an extra punch of drama to her shimmering pink lids, glowing skin, and matte nude pout.
The actress is a vision in a wash of monochromatic makeup (that earthy rose color is everything) and a nod to Old Hollywood glamour.
And just like that, Barbie Ferreira has us impulse buying bright purple eyeshadow. Swoon.
Is it just us or do Eilish’s peachy complexion, bleach-blonde bob, and sultry liner job make her look like Marilyn Monroe incarnate?
We’re seeing red, red, and more red. Osaka opted for glimmering crimson hair accessories to amplify her scarlet lips and magenta-washed gaze.
Garner accented her striking platinum curls with icy highlighter and a cat-eye that’s (literally) sparkling.
The actor is pretty much unrecognizable between her bleached brows, architectural updo, and burgundy pout.
From her waist-length braid to a drizzle of head-to-toe crystals, the co-chair knows how to make an entrance.
How do you take a quintessential ’60s beauty vibe and make it 2021, instead? Neon green eyeliner, of course.
The gymnast accented her sporty Met Gala getup with lots of jewels and lots of sapphire eyeliner.
Diana Ross, is that you? Swathed in what looks like liquid gold, Palmer’s natural hair, winged-out shadow, and twinkling, gilded lids feel very disco era, and we’re very into it. Up next, The Breathtaking 2021 Met Gala Looks We’ll Be Talking About for Years
