In the hours leading up to the 2017 Met Gala, actress Kate Hudson and model Miranda Kerr pampered their skin with golden sheet masks and nourishing face oils, while model Kendall Jenner opts for a chic eye mask. Hairstylists Jen Atkin and Frankie Foye add the finishing touches to models Bella Hadid and Karlie Kloss, while makeup artists Charlotte Day and Pati Dubroff dab the final swipe of color on Alexa Chung and actress Kate Bosworth, respectively. Here, a closer look at the best pre-Met Gala beauty moments.
