Came and Conquered: 2026 Met Gala Best Makeup Looks

The first Monday in May has came and conquered. Each year, celebrities attend the fashion fundraiser while beauty professionals, fashion enthusiasts, and Thread commentators gather around and give feedback on fashion’s biggest night! This year’s theme was “Costume Art” where art meets fashion and the body is the focus.

Chase Infiniti just gets it! Chase’s glam is always consistent and becoming what one would consider, a signature look. Her makeup was harmonious with every detail enhancing her natural features. Soft bronze tones never distracted from the details and craftsmanship of the dress.

Anok Yai understood the assignment. The bronze tones were seamless and monochromatic. Her skin looked smooth, similar to a bronze statue. A perfect contrast to the prosthetic tears and texture in the dress. The bronze makeup into the hairstyle was intentional and made every pose look like a historical figure had come to life.

Rihanna has never disappointed us at the Met. Her makeup for the evening was literal. Every detail of the dress was put on the face. Jewels and shimmer. Cool tones look fabulous on brown skin. Honorable mention Coco Jones and Doja Cat.

One word to describe Yseult’s look. Yummy! The glam looked glazed and dimensional. Delectable. The dress centered the belly as the focus and the reflects in her lip combo and eyeshadow made the perfect pairing.

Zoe Kravitz was a 10 across the board! Soft sculpted cheeks brings the structure of the dress to life. Low contrast makeup mimics the softness typically associated with lace.
