Beauty at the Met Gala 2015 was all about the exotic oriental charm. Keeping in mind the theme 'China: Through the looking glass' for the occasion, elegant buns, severely shiny updos, intense scarlet lips and geometric eyes took centrestage.
Wondering who channeled East Asia's sophisticated drama on the red carpet? Here's Vogue's curated list of stars and their strong beauty statements at the Met Gala 2015.
Hair Play
Sleek was the word of the moment, as celebrities teased its many moods. Sporting severe centre-parts: Joan Smalls and Kendall Jenner with their hair falling super straight, Gigi Hadid in soft waves and Amanda Seyfried and Cara Delevingne in a tight bun.
Playing with ponytails were Beyoncé in her side tail and Kim Kardashian in a glossy one.
Taking her affinity towards headpieces to a fiery height was Sarah Jessica Parker, as her head went up in flames (not quite literally), alongside Rihanna, who added a jewelled accessory to her retro bob—and Kate Hudson's dangling embellishment. Talking about bobs, the short crop convention continued with Katie Holmes, Dakota Johnson, Katie Perry and Lily Collins ruling the look.
The Oriental Red Lip
Taking the orient red—a colour synonymus with Chinese good luck—to a deep, dark space were Adriana Lima, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Lily Collins, and Amanda Seyfried. The scarlet hue was a clear winner this time.
Evolution of the Smoky Eye
Move over black, it's time for the smoked-out eye's reinvention. Alicia Keys' cobalt smoky that extended into a cat-eye, and Keri Russel's jewelled version that blended sapphire with emerald, Jennifer Lopez's fiery red, Sarah Jessica Parker's jaded green and Joan Smalls' violet hued adaptation—the new smoky stole the spotlight.
Hello, Brows!
A special mention to Lady Gaga and Rihanna's super geometric brows—acing their Asian game—and giving their eyes that architectural twist.
