The Best Beauty Looks at Met Gala 2026

<p>Every year, show-stopping looks from A-list celebrities continue to amaze us. But this year, we’re in complete awe as they showcased their own iteration of this year&#x27;s <strong>Met Gala</strong> theme: <strong>Costume Art. </strong>From mosaic-glam depictions to avant-garde beauty styles, these stars ensured a distinct type of artistry was present in their ensemble. No fashion look is complete without a complementary hair and makeup look, and these celebrities treated their faces as blank canvases on which makeup artists did their makeup art. While some chose to go the clean, classic route, a number of them took risks and gave our imagination a lot more to work on. Here are the ones we loved:</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Beyoncé</strong></div><p>Queen Bey has arrived! Her mere presence is a work of art in itself, but her glam for the event was a full-blown glamazon spectacle. Armed with blonde-brown gradient hair hue, naturally textured curls, and a flawless nude makeup palette, Beyoncé once again delivered an absolutely stunning overall fashion and beauty statement.</p><div><br style="caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777941433026Beyonce.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @mtv</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Rihanna</strong></div><p>As expected from Rihanna, she delivered yet another unforgettable beauty moment on the carpet. Adorned in a monochromatic metallic palette from her hair down to her lips, she truly illuminated the soirée. An intricately curated headpiece, complemented by a silver-jeweled winged eye and a striking iron-toned lip, flawlessly tied the metallic vision together.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777945217226Rihanna Met GAla.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via Getty</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Lisa</strong></div><p>Hands up if you think this look is simply jaw-dropping! Every detail of her look, from her hair to her eye makeup, was artfully crafted. That perfectly sculpted forehead curl paired with the delicate jewels surrounding her vivid turquoise eyeshadow? Not to mention the body appliqués and bejeweled nails—10s across the board!</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777938413848Lisa.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @mtv</span></span></span></div><div><br style="caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"/></div><div><strong>Jennie</strong></div><p>Jennie absolutely rocked the beige carpet with a simple yet stunning look that somehow made us see her in a different light. It’s incredibly refreshing to see her embrace a fresh beauty statement that feels unexpected, yet perfectly aligned with her signature luxurious branding. And those delicate freckles scattered across her cheeks and high updo with a tiny tendril and transparent, thin brows? They suit her, and the occasion perfectly!</p><div><br style="caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777940858019Jennie met gala.jpg" style="width:700px;display:block;height:auto" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via Getty</span></span></span></div><div><strong>Jisoo</strong></div><p>Art in the form of delicate elegance—that’s what Jisoo delivered on the beige carpet! Keeping her makeup subtle and light to highlight her natural Korean beauty, the true highlight of this look was her hair. She stunned in an updo, delicately accented with floral clips and soft, face-framing tendrils.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777939700468Jisoo.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @mtv</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Emma Chamberlain<br/></strong></div><p>Kicking off the Met Gala with a striking avant-garde look, especially around the eyes, Emma certainly knows how to serve. Sporting an erased brow and a playful wash of color swept up to her temples, she balanced her bold, abstract gown with a soft nude makeup palette, executing the beauty elements perfectly.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777937654584Emma.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @justjared</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Katy Perry</strong></div><p>Did someone say &quot;magnet renaissance face helm&quot;? Katy Perry definitely heeded the call! Behind the metal mask, the pop star was a total glamazon, featuring luscious lashes, sharp contours, and a flawless demi-matte makeup finish. The cherry on top of this all-white look was her straight, jet-black hair that draped flawlessly behind her.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777937791163Katy Perry.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @justjared</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Anne Hathaway</strong></div><p>Portrayed as the goddess of peace, Anne’s look featured a classic smoky eye, peachy blush, pigmented brows, and subtle lipstick. We always love the palette selection used on her face, as it always makes her skin look luminous and stand out! A fitting look for the woman of the hour!</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777939877368Anne Met gala.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via Getty</span></span></span></div><div><br style="caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"/></div><div><strong>Sabrina Carpenter</strong></div><p>Sabrina is a true-blue glamazon pop princess! Crowned with a sparkling headpiece, the blonde singer swapped her signature butterfly cut for a sleek, gelled style featuring soft curls at the ends. Her makeup? A stunning combination of earthy tones on the lids paired with a contrasting pink lip—and absolutely no blush blindness this time!</p><div><br style="caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777938492470Sabrina.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @mtv</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Anok Yai</strong></div><p>Now, this is how you do a Met Gala look! It seems Anok knew exactly what she was going to deliver the moment the dress code dropped. She brought an absolute masterpiece to the beige carpet, showcasing a magnificent bronzed, painted ensemble perfectly complemented by artfully crafted teardrops framing her face. Truly stunning, beautiful depiction of an art theme!</p><div><br style="caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777940465805Anok Yai.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via Getty</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Tyla</strong></div><p>Serving a major aquatic beauty statement on the beige carpet, Tyla’s sleek styling flawlessly complemented her sultry, metallic turquoise dress. Her hair was a stunning study in contrast, highlighting a face-framing fringe paired with voluminous, dark curls in the back. Meanwhile, her makeup remained reliably fierce, showcasing her signature sharp and contoured glam.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777942148261Tyla Met Gala.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via Getty</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Ejae</strong></div><p>Ejae, sporting a heavy smoky eye, completely understood the beauty assignment! She elevated the look with an <em>eoyeo meori</em>, a traditional Korean braided hairstyle cleverly infused with contemporary details. To beautifully balance her striking, full-on eye glam, Ejae kept her lips and cheeks in subtle, natural shades.</p><div><br style="caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777943379089Ejae Met Gala.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @iheartradioca</span></span></span></div>
