The Met Gala, formally known as the Costume Institute Benefit, is a red-carpet event where the who's who of the entertainment industry, including actors, actresses, influencers, musicians, and models, all show up dressed to the nines. The event has evolved into one of the most glamorous opportunities to flaunt style.

"A Super Bowl of Fashion."
The Met Gala was founded in 1946. It began its journey with a major event in 1948. Throughout the years, it has been constructed around themes such as "Notes on Fashion," "About Time: Fashion and Duration," and "Gilded fashion."
The event is crowded with A-list celebrities dressed in high-end luxury brands and unique fashion dresses. Although dresses are the focal point, their designs are amplified by incredible makeup looks. Here's looking at 5 such mesmerizing makeup looks.

The 2019 theme was one of the best for the Met Gala since it ensured a lot of showmanship. Lady Gaga's red carpet appearance in 2019 with a glamorous makeup look created by Sarah Tanno was another 2019 look that altered the Met Gala makeup game.
Gaga opted for bob, metallic long lashes, and a fuchsia lip. The false lashes were custom-made by Tanno using gold foil paper. A dramatic eyeliner and white kohl finished off her look.

Hunter Schafer's look for the 2021 edition was spooky with a twist of genius. The actress went for a white-out effect, donning white contact lenses and an elaborate spider-demon nosepiece. Her look was brought to life by makeup artist Sandy Ganzer.
Ganzer used special-effects adhesive on the face to create a spider appearance with 3-D makeup. To note, white-winged eyeliner and brown shadows were used to complete the eyes, while a lip liner and two shades of matte natural skin tone were used to create a layered effect.

Following the theme of "Camp" Priyanka Chopra Jonas dressed up in multiple feathers, gold, and silver details. The actress went for big hair and heavy makeup, including white eyeliner, red eye shadow, and burgundy lips.
