Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty ImagesAngelic makeup and eye jewels were a major trend at this year's Met Gala. Alexandra Daddario kills two trend birds with one stone by pairing hers with a sweep of peach and pink over her eyes and cheeks. Celebrity makeup artist Lottie Stannard used Dior beauty products, exclusively, on the actress.
The must-have beauty products used: Skinfix Barrier+ Triple Lipid + Collagen + Niacinamide Activating Serum ($69) and Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Blush in 001 Light Pink ($40)

Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty ImagesWe didn't see much graphic liner or ultra-dark makeup on the red carpet, so Stephanie Hsu's luxe plum lip and feline-inspired eyes felt dramatic and refreshing. Not to mention, the entire look was created using the clean makeup brand Well People.

But Lil Nas X's interpretation included shimmering chrome skin and jewel-crusted lips. Fun fact: The look was created by Dame Pat McGrath and featured roughly 5,000 crystals—the glam team began working at 8:30am and finished at 7pm!

"The look features a Chanel-inspired hair camellia, a flower made out of hair, from a show I once did in the mid-90s," shares Hathaway's hairstlyist Orlando Pita. "I had kept this from the show and thought it was the perfect opportunity to include in her look to honor tonight's theme."

"A timeless and beautiful look for the Met Gala.”
