After skipping 2020 and scaling back a bit in 2021, we expected the 2022 Met Gala to really bring the drama. Not to mention the fashion. Thankfully, we aren’t disappointed.

Continuing the theme of “In America: An Anthology of Fashion,” there was plenty of gilded glamour. There were corsets, structured skirts and opera gloves galore. But there were several stars who either downright ignored the theme or tried to put a modern spin on it. For example, Janelle Monáe’s Ralph Lauren look was a futuristic interpretation.

We spotted a surprising amount of cut-out accents. We were also taken aback by the sheer volume of see-through sections. (See what we did there?) Kim Kardashian certainly turned heads decked out in Marilyn Monroe’s iconic Jean Louis dress.

Both Blake Lively and Sydney Sweeney did an outfit reveal on the red carpet. The former rocked two Atelier Versace creations that paid tribute to the Statue of Liberty. The latter transformed her Tory Burch gown into a minidress.

Suits were also popular. Cara Delevingne, Irina Shayk and Chloë Grace Moretz all stepped out in striking style. It was actually a welcome contrast to all the dynamic dresses.

It’s definitely worth your time to scroll down to see all the crazy, sexy and totally cool looks from the 2022 Met Gala.

With a theme like “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” we weren’t sure what to expect when it came to the 2021 Met Gala. Unlike previous years when the dress code was more established, many attendees decided to go rogue. Sure, some went with patriotic options. Hence red and blue being popular choices. But a large percentage just dressed to impress, er, stand out.

There were plenty of American designers on display. Jennifer Lopez served up some real 70s glamour in Ralph Lauren. Kate Hudson’s pink Michael Kors Collection ensemble also turned heads. And Amanda Gorman’s blue Vera Wang stunner was a striking nod to the Statue of Liberty.

There was certainly a lot of skin. The naked dress was back in a big way with everyone from Kendall Jenner to Irina Shayk indulging in the trend. Others decided to flash flesh in far more strategic ways.

While the gowns, jumpsuits, tuxes, what have you are usually the focal point of every Met Gala look, the beauty is what really pulls it all together. When it comes to Met Gala beauty, literally anything goes. (Which is fine by us.) With themes ranging from punk meets haute couture to camp, over the years the gala’s motto has morphed into “Go big or go home.”

On the makeup front, the eyes have it. Whether you’re looking for a little negative space liner, bold lashes or some bling, there’s something for everyone. A red lip will never go out of style, but gala attendees have loved switching things up, proudly sporting pouts in every other hue, from gothic black to bright coral.

The hairstyles are also pretty extreme. We’re talking super long braids, silver finger waves, voluminous manes and even “hair” bows. Leave it to Lady Gaga to rock OTT locks and makeup while stripping on the red carpet.

We’re sad that this year’s gala has been delayed, but happy that we have all these Met Gala beauty looks to reminisce about while we wait for it to be rescheduled. Look through the slideshow above to see which hair and makeup looks have stood the test of time.

While we expect over-the-top looks at the Met Gala, attendees at the annual CFDA Fashion Awards tend to play it safe(r). But that didn’t stop Ashley Graham from stealing everybody’s thunder decked out in a structured-shoulder Christian Siriano black dress and matching hat.

Officially now a fashion icon, Jennifer Lopez showed off her abs in a bedazzled crop top and corresponding maxi skirt, both custom Ralph Lauren Collection. The Hadid sisters also turned heads with Gigi sporting a cornflower blue look from Louis Vuitton, while Bella went disco glam in Michael Kors Collection. (We also must give a shout-out to Ciara, who rocked a custom Vera Wang ensemble.)

Ever since she took over the helm of InStyle back in 2016, Editor in Chief Laura Brown made it apparent the rules of the newsstand were to be rewritten, calling upon the likes of Melissa McCarthy, Taraji P. Henson, Tracee Ellis Ross and Janet Jackson to become cover girls. This month, Ciara makes the front of InStyle‘s April 2019 issue, serving up major face, body and glam vibes for the occasion, captured by Phil Poynter.

It’s another complete hit (more or less) for the magazine this month, according to our forum members. “Wow, what a beauty! Very refreshing to see her on a bigger title. And her body is banging on that Prada cover! Actually, I only like the full body cover. InStyle tend to shoot their subjects way too close. This one reminds me of the Serena [Williams] cover,” said Benn98.

“It’s safe to assume the Givenchy cover (above) is the newsstand version. It’s super gorgeous!” championed GERGIN.

“Always loved Ciara, always thought she’s underrated and always thought she was beautiful. It’s fab to see her on the cover of InStyle, and with the passing of each issue, I am having a newfound love and respect for Laura Brown. The closeup newsstand cover is undeniably gorgeous!” praised  vogue28.

“Really shocked to see Ciara on the cover. It’s a nice surprise. InStyle as really been on a good roll this year. She looks absolutely gorgeous,” RanThe expressed in delight.

Sharing the same sentiments was forum member Velasco: “Lately, InStyle has been on my radar and buying list, even more so than Vogue. And I can’t believe I’m writing this!”

We’ll race you down to the newsstand for this one. See more from the issue and join the conversation here.
