Met Gala 2022

Gwen Stefani walked the 2022 Met Gala red carpet on May 2, and she knew exactly how to stand out. She did all of her own makeup, featuring her own brand, ...

And now a full-blown makeup artist, apparently. A beauty brand founder. She's a pop star.

The best looks (and statements like Kim Kardashian as Marilyn Monroe) embraced the dizzying experience of last night's Met Gala.

This sort of trick is Met Gala catnip and the kind of thing that makes people mock the fashion industry ("Blake Lively’s epic dress transformation is real life snapshot of unlimited possibilities in the metaverse," read a press release I received this morning–what?!) But I adored it, in part because it was just beautiful, but also because of Lively’s attitude: her outrageous fashion statement, about the beauty of New York’s landmark architecture, especially the Statue of Liberty, was in deference to the party of which she was a host. Only the Met Gala has this potential to put a designer’s highest concept fashion in front of zillions of eyeballs, because even as fashion shows become must-stream content, they simply don’t have the celebrity magnet. That means it’s occasionally a moment for an unsung or complex collection to have a moment in the spotlight–which is what happened for Nicolas Ghesquiere’s Spring 2022 collection, worn by Cynthia Erivo and Gemma Chan. That collection, which the designer imagined as a kind of crazy, borderline demonic 19th century ball, started with the idea of over-the-top gowns from that period and then ripped out the stuffing and underpinnings that made them enormous and exquisite traps, and replaced them with structures that make them bounce, even bound, through time. A sense of dressing for the occasion, with the atmosphere of the rest of the world in mind, is an achievement unto itself. And I had to lose sixteen pounds down today to be able to fit this,“ adding that it was “such a challenge,” in the bleak tone employed by celebrities offering a narrative of triumph. Kardashian let out a nervous exhale when she reached the landing, as if in the midst of a marathon, and then told a reporter she didn’t fit in the dress when she first tried it on, “But I told them, give me like three weeks.

Here, a look at 8 of the most striking beauty trends that emerged on the Met Gala 2022 red carpet. Cascading curls were out in full force, evoking a certain Pre-Raphaelite softness. Of course, there were beauty strategies that winked at the In America: An Anthology of Fashion theme.

After the 2022 Met Gala comes the after party. From Kendall Jenner's lacy Miu Miu lingerie to Hailey Bieber's YSL bralette, see the stylish celeb looks ...

Dress codes were loose, hems were high and inhibitions free. With the stress of the Met Gala off the celebrities shoulders, many of them were keen to let their hair down. This year, the celebrity style set took to the streets of Manhattan to shed their costume-esque attire to don an ensemble that was more in line with their own personal style and sensibilities—while still sartorially referencing the 2022 Met Gala theme of 'Gilded Glamour'.

Kim Kardashian is no stranger to controversial dieting practices but her latest attempt to lose weight for this year's Met Gala signals a worrying return to ...

And when you go on these radical diets, yes, your body reacts very quickly, but you’re usually losing water and lean muscle weight, not fat,” says Elliston. Due to its historic significance, the dress could not be altered and so, instead of having a replica made, Kardashian got to work crash dieting, telling Vogue, “It was this or nothing.” “It should be about what’s healthy for you, and often in making those healthier changes or choices you’ll lose weight anyway. “If you have no reason to lose weight and you’re an otherwise healthy individual it comes down to vanity. “I would wear a sauna suit twice a day, run on the treadmill … and just eat the cleanest veggies and proteins.
