Phoebe Bridgers

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.”

Pink lips are the theme of the night! We love how Precious Lee paired her beauty look with a gorgeous leather headband. Her hair was crafted by stylist Mideyah Parker using Pattern.

"I layered in a chunky slice of color in the back to give a little more drama with the swirls of caramel and light blonde highlights throughout. Using a total of four formulas.''
