One of the things that the star-studded Met Gala red carpet never fails to deliver is the parade of seriously impressive beauty looks. Sure, while fashion does take centre stage, each year the attendees go all out on everything from makeup, hair and nails, serving up ensembles that take their attire to a whole other level. Think: statement lips, structured cat-eyes, soft glam, blurred skin and everything in between. Case in point: the Met Gala 2025 red carpet.

To name a few iconic beauty tributes: Lady Gaga’s 2019 Met Gala look saw the pop singer rock oversized metallic false lashes and a bold pink lip as part of her iconic red carpet reveal that involved four outfits. That same year, Zendaya’s Cinderella-inspired look saw the actress embrace a modern spin on a princess-y updo, complemented by pastel blue eyeshadow and a soft, glossy lip. And back in 1999, Gisele Bündchen’s glowy, bronzed up complexion and a bouncy pony embodied the ’90s bombshell look that remains one of the Met Gala’s most legendary beauty looks since.
