Costume Institute Gala: Beauty Round-Up 1

WHO ROCKED THE MET GALA?
Who were the SUPER HEROES of beauty?

Last night the celebs worked the red carpet at the Costume Institute Gala, "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy," held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Beauty was ALL OVER THE BOARD last night. With a theme like Superheroes: Fashion & Fantasy, we expected to see some interesting beauty looks and boy did we get it. While most of our leading ladies played it safe, actresses like Tilda Swinton (she has balls!), Kate Bosworth and Kate Holmes gave us some daring eye makeup looks…which many will hate, but we admire being playful with the theme of the evening.

Hair also covered the full spectrum of styles. Some styles looked like straight-up rat’s nests (sorry, Scarlett & Mary Kate), while others showed us shiny and chic. Our favorite new hair trend of the season, which showed up last night, is the slick “wet do” sported by Christina Ricci (styled by Adir Abergel) and Jennifer Connelly (styled by Mark Townsend). Those boys are always ahead of the curve when it comes to hair.

While there were a lot of looks to love, we didn’t feel a collective sweep of inspiration from last night’s event, and the MET Gala is usually a great opportunity to set the tone for Summer beauty trends. We have our best and worst picks, so now it’s time for you to share your thoughts…Who were the “heroic” beauties at the MET Gala? And who should have stayed home?
