The Met Gala is known for its extravagant and experimental fashion and beauty looks and for being the perfect place to flaunt drama. Seeing how this year the theme honored the controversial legacy of Karl Lagerfeld, this year's event did not disappoint — in both, drama and high style. From intricate hairdos and striking makeup choices to being defiant of Karl Lagerfeld's aesthetic and taste, the stars definitely took to making a statement with their presence and fashion and makeup choices.
Celebrities opted for vibrant eye makeup, wearing shades like electric blue, white, and red, creating a striking contrast against the outfits. Another popular choice was glitter and metallic eye shadows, adding an extra dose of glamour to the already extravagant looks. Nude makeup looks were shoulder to shoulder with the vibrant ones and, in many instances, paired with intricate updos and braids; retro glam was ever-present and flawlessly executed, as well. Enchanted by timeless, sophisticated glamour spotted at this year's Met Gala, we went ahead and rounded up our choices of the most elegant beauty looks to swoon over.
