These 2023 Met Gala Beauty Looks Stole the Show

Illustrator Austin Call interprets hair and makeup (and, uh, body paint) moments that are currently living rent free in our collective brains

The Best 2023 Met Gala Beauty Looks by Austin Call

Yes, technically the Met Gala is centered around the outfits that make their way up the Met steps but if we’re really being honest, it’s the hair and makeup that really brings the full look together. Those lucky enough to receive an invitation to the annual event usually pull out all the stops beauty-wise and the 2023 Met Gala was no exception. Of course, we needed to commemorate the best beauty looks from last night, so we reached out to Austin Call of @duhrivative to reinterpret all of the hair and makeup (and, uh, body paint) moments that are currently living rent free in our collective brains.

Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway paid homage to Lagerfeld in her tweed Atelier Versace dress which was perfectly paired with a voluminous bouffant reminiscent of the ‘60s.

Ashley Graham

Ashley Graham understood the assignment and gave us a vintage Chanel beauty complete with her sleek bob, swirls, and flipped ends that mirrored the silhouette of her dress.

Doja Cat

I was hoping at least one person would show up on the Met carpet as Choupette–Lagerfeld’s beloved Balmain cat–and Doja did not disappoint. Decked out in custom Oscar de la Renta, she finished off her look with a prosthetic cat nose and cat ears.

Jessica Chastain

Famous redhead—and one of my favorite white women in Hollywood—Jessica Chastain gave us the biggest beauty transformation of the night by debuting platinum blonde hair on the Met steps, styled in long, soft waves.

Lil Nas X

Lil Nas X’s entire body, from head to toe, was covered in silver paint and rhinestones, like he just finished filming a reboot of The Wizard of Oz. (He’s playing the Tin Man, obviously.) Hope the Met has central heating, those halls get drafty.
