Simone, y’all! She looks absolutely fabulous with her oversized bang and monochromatic makeup. J’adore.

Keith Powers is serving brow realness and I am beside myself with joy. Men of the world, please take note of these flawless arches. No notes!

She’s here! Zendaya is finally here! Her jaunty hat makes it a littttttle hard to see her glam but it looks like tonight’s theme of burgundy makeup is making an appearance with her glossy lips.

Nothing gets me like a man in a bleached buzz cut. Evan Harris is bringing it tonight.

Another cunty little bob! With bangs! I adore this dramatic look on Zoe. She’s usually one to wear a slicked-back bob, which is always stunning, but this is a nice change of pace for the Oscar-winner.

I adore pink eyeshadow and Joey King just arrived in my new favorite rendition. This sparkly eye moment plus the soft finger waves? Me likey.

Pam is here and she’s rocking a cunty little bob! I never thought she would stray from her signature long blonde locks, but this blunt style is so chic on her. I hope it’s a real cut and not a wig…

Two words. Bedazzled Eyebrows. Lupita, my queen, you have outdone your already stellar track record of red carpet glam. Thank you!

Sarah Snook is here! Another red head icon, she’s proving that there’s no need to run out for an emergency spray tan before your next night out. Let that alabaster skin shine, girl!

Gigi Hadid sighting! Her ’40 style pinup curls are just as high shine as her gold gown, and I am here for it.

The queen of the no-eyebrow look, Whoopi Goldberg, reminds us why she’s been a red carpet regular for over three decades. Just look at her skin glow!

Famed photographer Tyler Mitchell looks sublime with this sharp center part look. Millennials, you win this round!

Maya Hawke looks pretty in baby pink with her soft glam makeup and windswept updo.

If I had this soft strawberry blonde hair color à la Sadie Sink, I too would match it to my tonal eye makeup. This whole look is so ethereal and chic!

I’m obsessed with this toasted cinnamon hair color on Alex Newell. I know summer is the season of blonde, but I’m nominating this rich red hue as the must-have shade to try.

Tony Award-winning actress Adrienne Warren looks radiant in her retro updo and neutral glam.

I’m so thrilled to see so many WNBA stars attending the Met Gala this year! Breanna Stewart, a power forward for the New York Liberty, is beyond chic with her (yet another) kiss curl and dapper white suit.

Coco Jones and her delectable kiss curl (sensing a theme here!) arrive at the Met Gala and I couldn’t be more thrilled about this high-impact look.

Sydney Sweeney is serving serious dandy at the Carlyle Hotel before heading to the Met Gala. Those kiss curls are so divine!

Lewis Hamilton, 2025 Met Gala co-chair, looks painfully dapper as he preps to walk the carpet. The perfectly groomed beard, the diamond earring, the white-on-white-on-white hat/suit/tie…swoon!

Bee Carrozzini, daughter of Anna Wintour, gave a subtle nod to the dandy theme with a soft pompadour hairstyle.

Actual Disney prince, Henry Golding, preps to leave The Mark hotel and head to the Met Gala looking quite dapper with his kiss curl—a trend that we predict will be very popular this evening.

In what has become the only day of the year that we see Vogue EIC Anna Wintour’s face sans iconic sunglasses, the queen of the Met Gala kept her glam understates and her signature blunt bob as sharp as ever.

Emma Chamberlain hit the red blue carpet with some fashionable dark circles this year.

Lala Anthony took her classic French mani to the Met this year, with an ultra slicked-back updo.

It would be hard to steal focus from a diamond necklace that large, but Ego Nwodim’s sculptural updo manages to do exactly that.

Teyana Taylor’s dark fluttery lashes almost steal the show from her stunning top hat and crimson feather plume.

Colman Domingo with the taper fade and a soft smoky eye.
