The Met Gala’s Beauty Transformations, From Jennifer Lopez to Kardashian

Perhaps more than any event throughout the year, the Costume Institute's Met Gala calls for an otherworldly transformation in the form of playful hair and statement-making makeup switch-ups that riff on the annual theme. As the world's most recognizable faces take boundary pushing risks with their looks. And considering this year's exhibition.


  Fashion and the Catholic Imagination," it’s no surprise that guests pulled out all the celestial stops. Kendall Jenner took a page from sister Kardashian West’s beauty playbook, opting for an extreme long ponytail in place of her day-to-day swingy bob as Hailey Baldwin took the pale pink plunge.


 First time Met Gala attendee Kiersey Clemons sported a new platinum buzz cut, a far cry from her wavy dark pixie curls for her debut trip down the steps of the red carpet. While Zendaya is no stranger to a shocking hair moment, easily switching from long bobs to voluminous curls with ease, this year's striking look was a departure even for fashion's favorite beauty chameleon as she channeled Joan of Arc in an armored gown and graphic auburn bob with microbangs.


 And even Jennifer Lopez ditched her recent hip-length extensions last night for a blunt slick bob that length a crisp note to match her ornate Balmain frock. Proof that the right hair can make the woman—and the look.
