From Zendaya’s Old Hollywood glam to Dua Lipa’s sculptural updo and Doja’s whimsical pale-blue lids, we’re still riding high on last night’s dose of glitz. Here’s Wonderland’s roundup of the best beauty moments from the 2025 Met Gala.
On the first Monday of every May, our favourite stars ascend the Met steps, immaculately dressed in high fashion and grandeur. This year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” came with a dress code aptly titled “Tailored For You.”Inspired by Monica L. Miller’s book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity, the theme spotlighted Black dandyism and diasporic self-styling — rooted in both resistance and empowerment — and invited guests to explore what personal expression truly means to them.
Channelling the spirit of Fashion Police’s Joan Rivers, we’ve been critiquing the red carpet from the comfort of our pyjamas — naturally. And while we love dissecting the couture, it’s the glam that truly sends us. Think: unapologetically bold eye moments, bedazzled brows, glowing skin, bronzed cheekbones, and sleek, mirror-shine hair that ties it all together.
Keep scrolling for Wonderland’s roundup of the most stunning glam looks from the 2025 Met Gala…
Doechii
Are we even surprised that Doechii turned heads at the Met Gala? Serving ultra-defined lip liner, bronzed sultry glam with a high-flush blush placement, and that Louis Vuitton monogram stamped across her cheekbone — she’s done it again.
Teyana Taylor
Actor and singer Teyana Taylor was — dare I say — the best dressed at the 2025 Met Gala. She set the bar sky-high the moment she arrived, and that was one hard act to follow. Her beauty look? Sculpted feathered brows, a bronzed, glowing base, ultra-defined lip liner and sultry eye glam that echoed the deep oxblood Marc Jacobs gown she wore to perfection.
Sydney Sweeney
Euphoria’s Sydney Sweeney wore Twiggy-inspired double eyeliner with dewy blush and feathered brows. A soft yet meticulous glam, I’m definitely taking notes!
Charli XCX

Charli XCX made her Met Gala debut with enviably feathered brows and impossibly glossy tresses. Her look — a fusion of gothic and classic tailoring — paid homage to the spirit of dandyism and self-expression, while her hair brought a whimsical, punky, and romantic twist to the red carpet. “I see something poetically gothic, raw texture, unpolished. Every component disrupts the expected; Proportion, texture and tradition. So I wanted the hair to reflect that, with the help of TRESemme’s A-List Dry Texturizing Spray,” explains hair stylist Matt Benns. Add to cart immediately!
Lupita Nyong
The sparkling, bedazzled brows that’s paired with Lupita Nyong’s Chanel powder-blue power suit, is nothing short of iconic.
Zendaya
Zendaya’s understated glam exhibited a subtle approach to honouring 90s glam, with the accentuated brown lip liner, bronzy glam and her manicured red nails. It allowed her Louis Vuitton all-white suit to make its statement.
Sofia Richie
The queen of ‘clean girl’ aesthetic and soft glam, Sofia Richie, wore minimal bronzy glam with a hint of natural blush to define her cheekbones. But, most importantly, quiet-luxury queen Richie wore a no-mascara makeup look, the subtlety redefines the need for long, extravagant lashes in glam.
Sabrina Carpenter
Sabrina Carpenter’s doll-like lashes and floating eyeliner, made the perfect pairing with her no-pants look. Similar to Sydney Sweeney’s look, is this bold eyeliner trend here to stay? I hope so!
Dua Lipa
The singer’s perfectly sculpted hair and feathered brows, effortlessly matched her timeless Chanel dress, which is adorned with feathers, pearls and crystals. How dreamy.
Emma Chamberlain
Your favourite social media personality and parasocial bestie, Emma Chamberlain, stuns the Met Gala carpet with her bleach blonde pixie cut wearing a backless tailored pinstripe suit dress mirroring a deconstructed suit. And, her vampy gothic glam has a modern yet timeless edge. From the daring ombré lip to soft,shimmery eyeshadow – the edgy glam is perfect!
Cardi B
From eye (quite literally) to lid, Cardi went full matchy-matchy at this year’s Met, pulling the pale green from her look straight into her makeup. The attention to detail? Impeccable — and absolutely not lost on us.
Doja Cat
Doja Cat’s bold and colourful glam, perfectly paired well with her 80s inspired leopard print bodysuit and accentuated, boxy shoulder pads. Bringing feline energy to the Met Gala, she exhibited a bold red lip, manicured brows and bright pale eyeshadow with an exquisite wing.
Lauryn Hill
Lauryn Hill made her Met Gala 2025 debut, in viral colour of the year butter yellow and looked exceptional. The iconic singer stayed true to her personal style – brushed brows, dark bold lips and glowy skin. And, the shimmery green eyeshadow is another great addition.
Rihanna
Not only did the Fenty-mogul show off her stylish outfit, she also announced her third pregnancy in the most fashionable way possible! Rihanna’s hair was pulled into a sleek, extra-long ponytail allowing her glam to do the talking. Her makeup consisted of a soft brown smokey eye, sculpted rosy cheeks and bronzy, shimmery base.
Imaan Hammam
The models’ daring skin-toned brows, bronzy natural glam, ’90s lip liner and dark-neutral eye looks made for one of the hottest beauty statements of the night — and trust, we’ll be seeing recreations all summer long. Oh, and feathers? Turns out that was the evening’s biggest beauty flex.
Tyla
Oh, Tyla… We just adore her. The singer lit up the Met Gala carpet in a curly honey-blonde pixie and melted bronzy glam — the very definition of red carpet perfection. From the bold ’90s lip liner to the sculpted cheekbones, shimmering lids and fluttery lashes, this look? A flawless 10/10.
