Met Gala 2022: The Best Hair And Make-Up From The Most Fashionable Red Carpet
The most stunning beauty looks direct from the Met Gala red carpet.
Although it feels like last year's Met Gala was mere moments ago (we're still not over Gigi's sky high scarlet red ponytail), the most fashionable event of the year is upon us once again. And this time it's returned to taking place on the most infamous date in the fashion calendar: the first Monday in May.
Continuing last year's 'In America: A Lexicon of Fashion' theme, 2022's Met Gala presents part two of the accompanying exhibition, 'In America: An Anthology of Fashion'. The dress code? 'Gilded glamour, white-tie' celebrating all things high shine and embellished with a nod to the indulgent sartorial era of old school New York. Think pearls, gravity-defying hair and more corsets than Hailey Bieber on a coffee run.
After 2021 gifted us with every OTT A-list beauty look our Instagram feeds could ask for (hello Kristen Stewart's rockabilly fringe and Ciara's XXL crimped ponytail), we're keeping an eye out for some next level hair and make-up at this year's haute couture filled event.
Read on for the best Met Gala 2022 beauty looks you need to see...

The supermodel opted for a sleek curved in bob to complement her molten gold gown.

The reality TV star wore an undone bun paired with neutral make-up for the event.
Lizzo
The singer wore wet look finger waves contrasted with brushed out curls and bold berry lipstick for the Met Gala.
Cardi B
Part 1960s beehive, part 1990s supermodel, we're feeling Cardi B's voluminous updo.
Emily Ratajkowski
Ratajkowski wore her hair in a side-parted updo and paired the look with suede-finish eyeshadow and matching lips.

Beneath Jenner's Off-White veiled cap, the mum of two wore blush pink make-up.
Khloe Kardashian
Khloe joined Kim in the bleached blonde squad for the evening, wearing her hair in a side swept wet look bob.

Kendall Jenner
Jenner offset her dark gothic Prada gown with bleached blonde eyebrows for added drama, and it's safe to say we are into this.

Williams opted for an edgy take on old Hollywood glamour and the result was breathtaking. Her dark, sculpted hairdo and cat eye liner perfectly juxtaposed her bleached brows.
Anok Yai
Yai channelled a 1920s style hairstyle and neutral make-up, complete with a smoky eye, which glimmered with her shimmering pink gown.

Chastain dazzled in red sequins on the red carpet but sported a subtle smokey eye and nude lips which we can't get enough of.
Tessa Thompson
Thompson styled her bubblegum-coloured ruffled tulle dress with dark fuchsia eyes and a berry lip, and now we're obsessed.
Gigi Hadid
What's an ice blonde hair do without a pop of red lipstick to match your puffer jacket and latex jumpsuit, ey Gigi?
Kate Moss
The ultimate 1990s supermodel wore a dark pink lip on the red carpet, and we love this effortless look.
