The Best Beauty Looks From the 2024 Met Gala

The 2024 Met Gala is afoot, and beauty has taken the spotlight. The gala accompanied this year’s exhibition with the theme of “The Garden of Time,” which begat intricate floral-inspired ensembles—complete with makeup and hair moments that were just as enchanting. ELLE beauty couldn’t contain our excitement, and we’re here to share the best beauty looks of the night.

Gone is the natural no-makeup-makeup vibe of awards season; stars experimented with messy top knots and pops of blush, making it clear that they were here to make a statement. The word that most often came to mind was “ethereal,” and we have a feeling the trend we saw tonight will be dominating the rest of the season. Below, find the best beauty looks and trends from the Met Gala to inspire you for the rest of spring and into summer.
