Let’s face it, one of the best nights in the fashion world is the annual Met Gala.
And not only do we see beautiful gowns from designers such as Alexander McQueen, Christian Marcias, and Ralph Lauren, but also amazing hair and makeup.
This year’s theme was “Gilded Glamor and White Tie,” and here are some of our favorite 2022 Met Gala Hair and Makeup looks:

Conclusion
In many ways, this year’s Met Gala celebrated old Hollywood glamour, and the beauty looks reflected that.
Many of the looks were classic but with modern twists and included red lips, smoky eyes, dramatic eyelashes, and hair pinned up or slicked back with a side part.
This combination of retro-glamour and modern appeal is only bound to inspire the hair trends we will see throughout the rest of 2022.
Stay tuned!
