The best beauty looks of the 2024 Met Gala — and how to shop them (2024)

The Met Gala 2024 red carpet was in full bloom, with stars pulling out all the stops to nail the “Garden of Time” dress code.

But while Vogue’s annual fête is known as fashion’s biggest night, stars’ beauty looks were just as show-stopping as their couture.

The best part? You won’t need industry connections or access to designers’ archives re-create some of the night’s best makeup and hair moments at home.

Below, explore (and shop) some of the buzziest beauty looks from Hollywood’s night at the museum.

Sydney Sweeney

Sydney Sweeney debuted a bold new ‘do on Met Monday, covering her signature blond waves with a jet-black wig styled using Kérastase products like the bestselling Elixir Ultime L’Huile Originale ($28).

The “Euphoria” actress and Laneige ambassador also reached for products from the famous K-beauty brand to get gala-ready — including its viral Lip Sleeping Mask, which has a long list of A-list (and editor) devotees.

“It strengthens the lips’ moisture barrier and provides [eight] hours of hydration, making it a crucial step ahead of important events like tonight,” Sweeney’s makeup artist Melissa Hernandez said in a press release.

Tyla

Tyla brought the beach to the big city with her “sands of time”-inspired Balmain gown, which was coated in three types of real sand.

And while her dress required five people to carry it up the steps (plus a last-minute tailoring session inside the Met), her makeup look from beauty icon Pat McGrath is far easier to re-create.

While Kendall Jenner’s 1999 Versace dress had never been worn by a person before (only a mannequin), her beauty standbys have appeared on a long list of fellow famous folks. The reality star and global ambassador for L’Oréal Paris added some shine with the brand’s True Match Lumi Glotion ($17 $14) —which Martha Stewart, Alix Earle and Kyle Richards similarly swear by.
