The first Monday in May has arrived, meaning it is once again time for the Met Gala. Every year, we look forward to watching our favorite celebrities stroll across the Metropolitan Museum of Art's red carpet in looks inspired by the night's theme. The 2024 dress code is "The Garden of Time"—a nod to the Costume Institute's new exhibition, "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion."

Since it's Fashion's Biggest Night, every superstar attendee (like Zendaya and Selena Gomez) will undoubtedly commemorate the evening in extravagant, show-stopping attire. However, their beauty looks are bound to be equally exciting, and we'll be keeping a very close eye on them throughout the night. From standout hair moments to mesmerizing makeup touches, find the best beauty looks from the 2024 Met Gala ahead.

As one of the co-chairs for tonight's Met Gala, we knew Zendaya would serve us an unforgettable look. And that she did. The skinny brows, intense eyeshadow, and glossy dark lips make for a mesmerizing makeup look.

Everything about Gigi Hadid's glam, from her hair to her makeup, screams old Hollywood glamour. We're obsessed with her high-shine red lipstick, rosy cheeks, and bouncy bob.

Her entire makeup look can be achieved using Maybelline New York products. Use the Super Stay Vinyl Ink in Red-Hot and Wicked to get her red lip. To recreate her baby pink cheeks, use the Sunkisser Liquid Blush & Bronzer ($12) in Uptown Glow and Cheek Heat Gel-Cream Blush in Nude Burn ($8).

Blush adds a playful pop of color to any look—and such is the case with Ayo Edebiri's Met Gala makeup. We were immediately drawn to the vibrant pink blush on her cheeks.

Ashley Graham attended the Met Gala in an edgy, elegant look. Her spiky updo added all the drama—her stylist, Justine Marjan, used Nutrafol's Hair Serum ($69) to prep the model's hair.

The rest of Graham's glam was kept fairly minimal. Her dewy, glowing complexion is the result of ZO Skin Health and Revlon products.

It's giving Forest Queen. All of the brown tones—from her lip gloss to her hair—give this look such an earthy feel. Her go-to makeup artist, Etienne Ortega, used Charlotte Tilbury on Lana's face and eyes, including the Magic Cream ($100), Beautiful Skin Foundation ($49), and Super Nudes Easy Eye Palette ($60).

We can always count on Doja Cat to do something unexpected with her makeup. Her glitter tears and slanted, skinny brows are so creative and cool. "We used glitter to paint shimmering, enchanted tears of joy streaming down her cheeks," says Pat McGrath, who was behind the look.

"On her lids, we created the most beautiful gilded cat eyes using black pencil, black liquid liner, lots of mascara, and the warm scintillating shades in my Mothership V: Bronze Seduction palette. She looks absolutely major!"

Kaia Gerber's blowout is reminiscent of her mother's signature look in the '90s. Don't believe us? “Cindy Crawford was a huge source of inspiration for Kaia’s hair," says colorist Jenna Perry, who used Olaplex to create the model's "bombshell brunette" shade.

“I did a rich enhancing gloss using the Olaplex 4-in-1 Moisture Mask. I finished it off with Olaplex Nº.7 Bonding Oil to achieve the rich glossy look and to prepare and protect Kaia’s hair for Met day heat and styling.”

Sydney Sweeney debuted a dramatic hair change at the Met Gala. The jet-black bob is such a bold, beautiful look on her. For makeup, her MUA Melissa Hernandez opted for a soft glam with plenty of body glitter.

“The contrast between the black gloves and delicate blue tulle of Sydney’s custom Miu Miu gown inspired me to create a look that felt edgy, yet ethereal and feminine," she says. "Using the new Armani Beauty Cheek Tint ($39), we created a romantic bubble-gum flush of color that was the perfect contrast to the black details of her ensemble."
