Lucy Boynton

If Twiggy ever took on the gilded theme, we’d imagine she’d look something like Boynton, whose long lashes were intricately adorned with gemstones. The star’s skin, prepped with N°1 de Chanel products by renowned facialist Iván Pol of The Beauty Sandwich, provided the perfect clean canvas.

Naomi Campbell

The jewels adorning the supermodel’s Burberry gown continued right up across all of her face. Per usual for Naomi, whose makeup was by Pat McGrath, her hair was the pinnacle of pin-straight.

The model of the moment again paid homage to her Hän Gwich'in and Oglala Lakota heritage. For her second Met Gala, Chasinghorse wore jewelry by the indigenous bead artist Lenise Omeasoo, then matched her Prabal Gurung gown with blue eyeshadow and pulled her hair back into a figure-eight braid.
