The Best Met Gala Beauty Looks Were All About Excess

Arguably the most anticipated red carpet of the year is the Met Gala. And ever since 2019's theme, "Camp: Notes on Fashion," was announced this past October, we were certain that this year's big event was going to bring out some of the wildest and most outrageous looks we've seen in some time.

We were right. Tonight, was all about excess. From crystal-embellished and glitter-glazed eyelids, to gigantic hair and floor-length braids, to fantasy lashes of all sorts, the stars were nothing short of exaggerated—in the most glorious way possible.

Below, we rounded up some of the most epic looks of the evening. Feast your eyes on the best of camp beauty, below.

Lupita Nyong'o always serves us major looks at the Met Gala, but tonight's hair pick-adorned afro and glitzy lids might be her best look yet.

We are not worthy of Ciara and her glorious hair.

Sophie Turner took the sleek, slicked-back look to the next level by dousing it in glitter.

Priyanka Chopra, or the Queen of Hearts?

We never thought we needed the Prada padded headband until we saw Lily Collins wearing one (and a bunch floral hair adornments).

Good evening to Yara Shahidi's dramatic eye design and no one else.

Gigi Hadid was channeling the late Night King with these feathery white lashes.

Lady Gaga may have had a number of red carpet outfit changes, but this glorious beauty look stayed consistent: her version of the foiled eyelash trend.

Laverne Cox's getup might have felt dark and mysterious, but beauty-wise? She was a literal ice queen, rocking crystal blue lids that matched her slicked-down hair.
