A Look Back at the Most Over-the-Top Beauty Looks From Past Met Galas

We can't decide which part we like better from Lady Gaga's 2019 Met Gala look — her over-the-top eyelashes, graphic eye liner, giant pink hair bow, or the tiny hair bows underneath it.

Erin Parsons applied individual feathers to Gigi Hadid's lashes to create this feathered look.

Defying gender stereotypes yet again, Harry Styles wore mismatched blue nail polish on the red carpet.

Tiny charms dangled from Elle Fanning's neon nails, serving up major I Dream of Jeannie vibes.

Priyanka Chopra arrived at last year's Met Gala looking like a sexy version of the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland with a silver crown and creative eye makeup.

Lily Collins' gothic makeup at the Met Gala was a tribute to the "dark arts," according to her makeup artist, Fiona Stiles. Paired with a sculptural, braided up-do, Collins' look for the evening was unforgettable.

A line of eye-catching pearls started at the nape of Tessa Thompson's neck and trailed up her three-tier, beehive-like hairstyle.

We can't help but stop and stare at Jasmine Sanders' romantic, rose-adorned braids at the 2018 Met Gala.

Lupita Nyong'o took her hair to new heights with her architectural up-do in 2016.

Let's never forget Janelle Monae's iconic, multilayer braid at the 2015 Met Gala.

Cara Delevingne's tattoos at the 2015 Met Gala extended across her chest and down her arms.

Miley Cyrus's interpretation of 2013's theme — "Punk: Chaos to Couture" — was spot on with her spiked-up hair and bold red lip.

January Jones paired graphic liner made from rhinestones with an elaborate up-do.

Baby bangs were the name of Megan Fox's Met Gala game: she walked the red carpet with (presumably) clip-in retro pinup bangs.

Amanda Gorman's crystal laurel headpiece had a very special meaning to her. It was inspired by the spirit of the Statue of Liberty, which bears a significant meaning to poets because it's the headpiece worn by the god Apollo, who's the patron of lyrical poetry.

Hailee Steinfeld was nearly unrecognisable with her bluntly cut blond bob.

Drawing inspiration from the '90s with a mix of Old Hollywood Western films, Lupita Nyong'o's sculptural Met Gala hairstyle featured gravity-defying volume with looped pieces of hair at her forehead.

Barbie Ferreira pulled out a completely different look at the 2021 Met Gala, trading in her signature black hair for a "bronde" colour and middle-part jewellery.
