On fashion's biggest night, bold eye looks, statement tendrils, and more reigned supreme

By , and

The first Monday in May has returned, along with dozens of immaculately crafted fashion and beauty looks to grace its red carpet. As this year's dress code is "Tailored For You," it's no surprise that structured suiting in celebration of the Dandy was paired with polished hair styles and statement makeup to echo this year’s "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme. But as we know all too well, there's no one way to interpret either.

Straight from the historic steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Bazaar editors are bookmarking beauty trends like swirling face-framing tendrils, worn by actors Ayo Edebri and Sydney Sweeney, plus gold medalist Simone Biles. The event also featured a number of unapologetically bold eye looks, as worn by stylish stars like Lupita Nyong'o and Doja Cat. We're also taking careful notes on game-changing glam moments seen at the evening's event. For more of our favorites, read on for some of the best beauty looks at the 2025 Met Gala, ahead.
