From Gilded Crowns to Gothic Lips, These Met Gala Beauty Trends Dominated the Red Carpet

       
 
Needless to say, the 2018 Met Gala’s ecclesiastical theme inspired heaven-sent drama—and lots of it. But beyond the rapturously otherworldly dresses with their sprawling trains, there were unmistakable beauty trends that emerged.


 Most strikingly, there were the embellished head-dressings, which ran the gamut from over-the-top, towering and dizzying, like Madonna’s jewel-encrusted cross crown, to just a flash of opulence, as reflected in s gold-plated floral barrette and buoyant Afro. But whether a head-swiveling accessory was in the mix or not, many, including Alicia  and Kendall .
  


In the spirit of evocative, one-fell-swoop glamour, stars including Priyanka Chopra and Lily Collins stamped on crimson mouths with a decidedly gothic feel, while others took  motif more literally by baring gleaming limbs


 . Here, the beauty trends that dominated the red carpet last night.


Shining tiaras! Suspended halos  Glittering headbands! When channeling the opulence of the Met Gala’s latest exhibition, no look was complete without an eye-catching ornament that blurred the line between statement jewelry and hair accessory.

Scene-Stealing Leg Reveals From Kate Moss’s Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello LBD to Gisele Bündchen’s slit-to-the-thigh golden Versace number, a well honed leg reveal proved to be the best way to showcase supernatural assets.
