For the 2025 Met Gala celebrating 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' the beauty looks felt just as precise as the tailoring.

Take the hair of the evening, with barely a strand out of place between the night's attendees. Among them, Dua Lipa and Gabby Thomas taking curlicued inspiration from Josephine Baker. Megan Thee Stallion also referenced the starlet with a slicked-back updo.

Makeup also took an extravagant and referential turn, especially those under the touch of Dame Pat McGrath, which included Chappel Roan, Alex Consani, Tyla, Amelia Gray and more.

'For Tyla's makeup, we were channeling vintage Hollywood glamor – icons like Josephine Baker, Dorothy Dandridge and Jean Harlow – with a modern twist,' McGrath said of Tyla's makeup.
On the more minimal side, Cynthia Erivo's Joanna Simkin relied on Clinique for a full-faced glow and a touch of products from the brand's Black Honey range. Similarly, Chanel makeup artist Nick Barose said that for Lupita Nyong'o, 'to align with the Dandy theme, drawing from Lupita's Little Richard-inspired vibe, I crafter a makeup look that exudes rockstar glamor.'

That sort of classic-with-a-twist ethos extended to Madonna's makeup look, the work of makeup artist Marcelo Gutierrez, who used Tom Ford Beauty products. 'Tonight's look on Madonna is both timeless and modern — a perfect marriage of luxurious Tom Ford Beauty formulations and the sensuality and power that Madonna brings to every aspect of her life,' Gutierrez said via email.
Also keeping things a bit natural on the hair front were Laura Harrier and Hailey Bieber with loose waves. On the more sculptural side, Doechii sported an afro.
A$AP Rocky at The 2025 Met Gala Celebrating 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 05, 2025 in New York, New York.
Grooming had a lot of intricate touches, with A$AP Rocky donning curled braids. Though many men picked chapeaux to accentuate their red carpet garb, even Bad Bunny left his slicked hair curled upwards at the end for a sharp finish.

An "Exfoliate & Glow" premium scrub mitt for sloughing off all the dead skin from winter (one reviewer saw all the dead skin left in their shower floor and dubbed themselves a "Lizard Person" after shedding it). This is great for helping even out skin texture and tone, preventing ingrown hairs, calming keratosis pilaris, and removing self-tanner, too!

First Aid Beauty's KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub Exfoliant to help exfoliate and smooth skin by dealing with rough patches or dry bumps at a price point a *lot* cheaper than expensive prescription creams and washes. A lot of reviewers with keratosis pilaris and similar skin textures swear by this for relief, with many noticing a difference after the very first use.

Madonna, Leonardo DiCaprio name-dropped during Diddy's federal trial in explosive testimony
Explosive testimony in Sean "Diddy" Combs' trial featured a few A-list names during the fourth week. Madonna, Leonardo DiCaprio and Beyoncé are a few of the celebrities who came up as the prosecution witnesses continued to take the stand and testify against the rapper in his sex trafficking and racketeering case. Diddy's trial began May 12 with opening statements. Throughout the fourth week of testimony, the jury heard from the disgraced music mogul's ex-assistant "Mia," former Bad Boy Entertainment CFO Derek Ferguson, Cassie's friend Bryana Bongolan and Diddy's ex-girlfriend "Jane." Here's a look at the celebrities mentioned in court this week. After Diddy's assistant, who testified under the pseudonym Mia, was let go in March 2017, she was hired by pop star Madonna. The rapper's defense team had questioned Mia aboutwhether she'd worked in the "same industry" as before after being fired. When asked what the ex-assistant did for Madonna, Mia replied, "A myriad of things." "I was hired to help lead her film division," Diddy's former employee claimed on the stand. "She also needed help restructuring her internal executive team, then it morphed into multiple roles." Diddy's ex-assistant Mia mentioned both Leonardo DiCaprio and Mick Jagger in a text to her former boss that was read in court Monday. During her cross-examination, the disgraced music mogul's defense zeroed in on text messages Mia sent after she experienced alleged physical and sexual abuse by Combs. The former ex-assistant admitted the text messages she sent to Diddy after being terminated from her job were all positive. "Love you, too. And the only things to remember are the good times, and those are the only memories I have!! Ha ha ha, like f------ hysterical ones! I'll send you everything I've got! I remember even before you had videographers with us, I carried around the little iVid thing. I found those, too. Completely forgot about them. "So many magical hilarious things, like drinking 1942 on the Parrot Cay Beach and champagne under the Eiffel Tower at 4:00 a.m. in the dark; and singing with Jimmy at Interscope; and Mick Jagger trying to take me home, but I ran away; and Ibiza caves, where I got a seven-inch scar; and Hawaii 5.0, when you punched that d--- f--- for talking s--- to me; and launching Revolt; and that random underground Baccarat game where Jlolo wouldn't pay out and I stayed only, and you won 650 grand, and that little prick ran away from me, and Leo [DiCaprio] grabbed my pink bedazzled BlackBerry, and you said that Titanic mother f----- doesn't know s---. He won 10K, I won 650K. Ha ha ha. Gosh, there are trillions of stories that are amazing." Rihanna and Beyoncé were mentioned during Bryana Bongolan's testimony Wednesday. Cassie Ventura's friend claimed the two had been working on a clothing line with Diamond Supply Company. According to Bongolan, the two got out a few collections during a two-year period. However, the clothing lines didn't work out due to "internal" reasons at Diamond Supply Company. Cassie's friend agreed with Diddy's defense lawyer that the clothing lines didn't work out because the two were competing with Rihanna and Beyoncé. Film producer Judd Apatow was mentioned during testimony in Diddy's trial while the defense was showing text messages from the rapper's ex-assistant. The defense noted Mia sent the texts after the "Last Night" rapper had been violent with her for years. Mia left her job working for Diddy in 2017. On March 8, 2019, five months after the death of Diddy's longtime partner, Kim Porter, Mia reached out. "Just sending you all the love in the world," she wrote, adding a heart emoji. "Speaking of, you should watch Love on Netflix. Judd Apatow created it," she added in a separate text that same day. "It's superbad-esque funny." In another text message Diddy's ex-assistant sent to the rapper after he allegedly abused her, Mia mentioned actor Chadwick Boseman. "Thinking of you since I heard about Chad Boseman and our sick James Brown auditions," she wrote to Combs in 2020, years after she stopped working for him. The "Black Panther" star died from colon cancer at the age of 43. "Chad Boseman passed away, and we had done this – I don't know how to explain it," Mia further explained during her testimony. "He was auditioning for this role for the James Brown movie that Chad Boseman got, and, essentially, he put on his own production that was – or we put on his own production for, like, a week, and it was really intense. Yeah, that's it." Diddy then asked Mia if she had a copy of the James Brown audition tape.

32 Affordable Swaps For Pricey Beauty Products
Essence's Drop of Sunshine Bronzing Drops that'll add a golden glow to help you channel your inner Drunk Elephant (we all have one). Just mix a few drops of this into your moisturizer for a subtle glow, or apply directly to your face for a super sunkissed look that'll have everyone asking, "Did you just get back from vacay?!" A tinted lip balm for anyone intrigued by Clinique's "Black Honey" lipstick that went wildly viral on TikTok for its sheer shade that's meant to blend seamlessly with your natural lip color. It's impressed several reviewers, including loyal fans of Clinque's pricier shade. A nail concealer that's a multitasking marvel, and it gives Dior a run for its money. It helps strengthen nails thanks to its blend of biotin and keratin, and it also provides a sheer hint of pink color that works great on its own or as a fast-dry top coat. It's basically a manicure in a bottle — which is an absolute STEAL at under $5. Just be sure to tip yourself when you're done. A moisturizing hair serum from Korean hair care brand Mise En Scéne made with SEVEN nourishing oils: argan, coconut, jojoba, marula, olive, camelia, and apricot. They all work together to protect your strands from damage (including up to 446-degree heat protection!) while adding some hydration and shine. One reviewer even said the results are comparable to Crown Affair's $40 hair oil! Catrice's Magic Shaper Face Cream Palette that asks the question, "What if the Make Up For Ever HD Skin Face Essentials palette was only $8?" The answer? A super convenient mix of two bronzers, two highlighters, and two blushes that will work for basically any look, making a perfect travel companion. The Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener — it'll have you singing 🎵 "where have you been all my li-i-i-i-i-ife?" 🎵 when you realize it might just replace your beloved Smashbox x Becca Under Eye Brightening Cream. Reviewers say it blends seamlessly into the skin and adds light coverage to dark circles — and now it comes in four shades! A cruelty-free lengthening Essence mascara with a whopping 266,000 5-star ratings and some seriously impressive before and after photos. Oh, did I mention it's UNDER $5 and comparable to Tarte?! Unlike other mascaras at previous price points, reviewers say this one doesn't easily clump or smudge throughout the day and is suitable for sensitive eyes. And a cruelty-free E.l.f tubing mascara that's basically lash extensions in a tube. The formula wraps your lashes with lengthening tubes for a fuller appearance, which also makes it SO easy to remove at the end of the day. No, really, you just peel it off! If you're new to the world of tubing mascara, you might want to try this first before splurging on the Blinc version. A multipurpose blush stick with the same vibe as the $18 Pixi Beauty version. The stick format makes it a breeze to swipe on, and reviewers say the creamy formula also works well as a lip and eye color. Just imagine: you give your face a few swipes, blend with your fingers, then rush out the door and hope you can make it to work by 9 a.m., even though it's currently 9:08 a.m. Or an E.l.f. camo liquid blush — its results will turn you into a rare beauty, if you catch my drift. 😉 Reviewers say the pigment is super strong with a glossy finish but is still easily blendable and buildable. Or!!! A convenient Catrice blush compact with matching cream and powder formulas so you can achieve Patrick Ta's signature cream-over-powder technique without paying Patrick Ta prices. You can totally use them separately if you want (or go with the traditional powder-over-cream method), but layering the cream on top of the powder will give you a dewy finish and a slightly more vibrant color. It sounds weird — but just trust the process! E.l.f. Suntouchable Invisible Sunscreen that acts as an SPF 35 sun protectant and a blurring primer that plays well under makeup. The best part? Reviewers say it leaves no white cast behind, which is a rare feat in the world of affordable sunscreens. Plus, reviewers say this can hold its own against pricier brands like Supergoop. A hair-repairing serum made with argan oil and aloe leaf extract that reviewers say might be even better than pricey brands like Moroccanoil. It'll add softness and shine without making your hair greasier than a Wendy's triple cheeseburger — although it's basically the same price as one! Smooth it through damp hair for easy styling, or apply a few drops to dry hair to smooth flyaways and frizz. A pack of star-shaped pimple patches so cute you won't mind wearing them out and about. They're made of a wound-healing gel called hydrocolloid that can help drain fluids from any open pimples and cover any that are already on the surface, and they also contain salicylic acid to help dissolve excess sebum. SeoulCeuticals' Day Glow Serum that brings vitamin C, ferulic acid, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, citrus stem cells, and organic centella together to form the most powerful sextet since Friends. The result? It can help fade discoloration, brighten your complexion, and add a serious dose of moisture. That very expensive and extremely tipsy elephant has some serious competition. An adorable polar bear hydrating eye stick reviewers are comparing to Milk Makeup's Cooling Water Stick — it's basically a venti iced coffee for your under-eye area. It features Iceland glacier water to help relieve the appearance of puffiness, and the niacinamide in the formula can provide a brightening effect to lessen the severity of dark circles. Also, reviewers love putting this lil' cutie in the fridge for an extra cooling sensation! I mean, it is a polar bear, after all — it only makes sense to keep it cold. A Wet n Wild lightweight tinted hydrator that gives you a perfect hint of coverage while also improving your skin over time — and it's impressed loyal fans of more expensive brands like Nars, Fenty Beauty, and Tarte. It goes on just like a normal moisturizer, but has just enough pigment to reduce redness and blur pores. Oh, and the hyaluronic acid and squalane will help make your skin feel soft and moisturized. E.l.f.'s Halo Glow Liquid Filter — this can be used in so many ways. You can apply it to your high points like a highlighter, mix with your foundation or moisturizer for an all-over glow, or get wild and slather it all over for the ultimate lit-from-within shine. Charlotte, dahling, this is giving your Flawless Filter a run for its money. 👀 Byoma's Hydrating Milky Toner, which many reviewers say can stand toe-to-toe with Rhode's Glazing Milk. It's designed to soothe and calm sensitive skin while adding a light touch of moisture that's perfect for prepping your skin for the rest of your routine. Some people on TikTok are even mixing this in with their foundation to get a glowy look even Hailey Bieber herself would be impressed with. A Nyx Fat Oil lip gloss to douse your lips in hydrating raspberry seed oil while adding a super glowy shine that'll have you forgetting all about Dior. You'll get the lightweight feel of a luxurious lip oil with the moisture of a heavier lip balm, all for under $10. E.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer, which has gone mega-viral several times for providing a perfect base for makeup by blurring pores and smoothing the appearance of fine lines, and it might just remind you of Tatcha's The Silk Canvas Primer. It's formulated with squalene for an extra dose of hydration, and it's designed to grip onto your makeup to help it last all day long. A non-aerosol, benzene-free I Dew Care "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo you can pat directly onto your roots to mop up any excess oil right from the source. Just tap and massage it in — it'll even provide a little extra volume! If your go-to dry shampoos are from brands like IGK and Living Proof, this might be the ultra-portable and more affordable alternative you've been dreaming of. A L'Oreal Infallible setting spray that takes just three seconds to apply to your whole face (thanks to wide-spraying microfine mist) and claims to help your makeup last for up to a whopping 36 hours. If you don't feel like parting with $32 dollars for the super viral One Size On 'Til Dawn setting spray, reviewers say this might just work even better. A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment with an impressive ingredients list for such a low price. Its blend of ceramides and collagen can help add smoothness and shine to your hair in just five minutes, making it perfect for those of us who care about our hair but not enough to devote extra time to it. Many reviewers say it's replaced Olaplex in their routines! SkinSmart Facial Cleanser Spray — it can help reduce the bacteria that causes acne and breakouts in just a few spritzes. It features hypochlorous acid, which is meant to fight infection and promote healing. It's perfect for refreshing your skin after a sweaty workout, and you can even use it for body acne as well. If you've had you're eye on the Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray but the price is putting you off, give this a try instead. A compact and super affordable ionic hair dryer that has reviewers questioning why they ever shelled out the cash for a $400+ Dyson. 😩 It has three heat levels and a temperature-regulating function to prevent overheating, and the powerful motor is designed to dry hair in less than 10 minutes. A $4 E.l.f. lip balm reviewers have compared to both Laneige and Summer Fridays. It contains a blend of hyaluronic acid and shea butter to soften and moisturize, and some of the formulas contain a sheer hint of color. And! A trio of hydrating lip sleeping masks that's less than half the price of a single jar of Laneige's popular version. They contain vitamin C for a brightening effect and come in fun flavors (lime, pomegranate, and berry) so you can switch up your routine every night. E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops, which might just convince you to save some cash and hold off on trying those Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Dew Drops you've been eyeing. This super lightweight serum is meant to provide an instant ✨glow✨ to the skin, whether you wear it on its own, under foundation, or mixed into your foundation for a radiant finish. Prepare for the onslaught of compliments coming your way. A box of skin-lifting Skin 1004 face masks — it'll make you look like a terrifying zombie until you rinse it off, but it's worth it for the pore tightening and complexion brightening benefits! It contains albumin, an ingredient derived from egg whites that's known to tighten and lift the skin, even if reviewers say it's a bit smelly at first (but most say they get used to it quickly)! Reviewers say it's similar to the popular Hanacure mask, but way cheaper since you get eight of these in a box! Nyx's extreme hold eyebrow gel to keep your brows in place for a whopping 16 hours — I think even Anastasia Beverly Hills herself would be impressed! Unlike the other countless brow gels collecting dust in your makeup drawer, this one is designed to dry down without a sticky finish — and it won't flake throughout the day. A creamy, oil-based Juno & Co cleansing balm reviewers swear by for removing every trace of makeup, even stubborn waterproof formulas. (Seriously, take those makeup wipes out of your cart right now!!!) It's made with only 10 ingredients, including Japanese pearl barley to hydrate and brighten. If you've tried and loved Farmacy's Green Clean, keep this cheaper alternative on your radar.
