Best Beauty at the Met Gala 2017

The Met Gala is not your average red, or should we say, ivory carpet.
True: The fashion is a little more costume-like than you're used to, but it's equally as big of a deal for the beauty-obsessed. This year's theme is "Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between," so it's perfectly fitting that the beauty looks mirrored the highly artistic (a.k.a. hard to wear IRL) essence of the line.

 Just take Selena Gomez who made a hot-pink cat-eye look oh-so effortless. Then there's Rihanna, who also used vivid eye shadow in a whole new way.
Like what you're seeing? There's plenty more where that came from.
Keep scrolling to see the night's most awe-inducing beauty looks!

Elizabeth Banks

The actress' ice-blonde locks are right on-trend, but it's her bold blue liner that's just risky enough.

Lily Aldridge

Normally, low-key makeup doesn't work, but in this situation we'll make an exception (for obvious reasons).

Kylie Jenner

Baby pink (painted on her eyes, lips, cheeks and nails) was the theme of Kylie's makeup look. The sweet shade was just subtle enough next to her naked dress.

Rose Byrne

Nothing says red-carpet risk like Rose's sculptural hair-do. It helps that she kept the makeup to a minimal, too.

Selena Gomez

A hot pink cat-eye is not casual by any means. In this case, however, it's a detail that gives the singer's look a rad twist.

Here, Behati is basically a glammed-up beach babe. Her bronzed makeup is elevated with a little help from her smoothed-out mermaid curls.

Emma's bronzed smoky eye is a classic, but the extra pigment makes it feel just dressed up enough for the occasion.
