    Fashion's biggest night? Based on the iconic hair, makeup and nail looks that hit the 2023 Met Gala red carpet tonight, we think it's also the biggest night of beauty ever. This year's theme is a tribute to the creations of the late designer Karl Lagerfeld - aesthetically speaking, this is reflected in everything from classic fresh makeup, to dark manicures secured with chains, and even imitations of A handcrafted prosthetic of the designer's beloved cat, Choupette.

    We've never met a glossy lip we didn't love, and Quannah Chasinghorse's popsicle-pink look is no exception. We're also loving her effortless, free-flowing waves, thanks to essentials from Paul Mitchell.

    Matching your glittery eye shadow to your hair color? Only Phoebe Bridgers could pull off a look so subtle yet so gorgeous. Glam was by Gianpaolo Ceciliato for Tata Harper Skincare and hair was by Josue Perez for Innersense Organic Beauty.

    "With Phoebe, the process of creating her look for the Met Gala was very organic. When I first saw the dress at the fitting, I was instantly inspired by a sultry smoky eye," Ceciliato says in a statement. "I wanted to create a contrast between dramatically strong eyes and a delicate porcelain skin.”

    We're loving Lily James's stylish updo paired with leather flowers and a set of baby bangs, created by stylist Halley Brisker using Olaplex. "The inspiration for the look was a 90’s leather-core sharpness and punk twist on classic Chanel," Brisker explains. "Lindbergh and Herb Ritts were image makers I had looked at during my mood boarding process.”
