The dress code for the 2026 Met Gala<\/a>, \u201cFashion Is Art,\u201d yielded plenty of sculptural ensembles; think Hailey Bieber\u2019s gilded breastplate, Lisa\u2019s affixed arms, and Heidi Klum, well, literally being a sculpture. But when it came to the makeup, the inspiration turned to the painter\u2019s palette. More specifically, the stars on the green carpet put the \u201cR\u201d in ROY G. BIV, wearing shades of red and pink on their cheeks and lids.<\/p>\n

Nicole Kidman<\/a>, an event co-chair, paired her vibrant red sequined-and-feathered Chanel gown with rosy red cheeks. Olympian and newly minted Louis Vuitton ambassador Alysa Liu wore a strapless maroon gown and soft washes of dark red shadow on her lids. Charli XCX<\/a> opted for a classic smoky eye in gray tones for her upper lids, but makeup artist Ana Takahashi swept a bold maroon along her lower lash line.<\/p>\n

Adding a dash of white pigment into the mix to reach the pink side of the spectrum, Angela Bassett\u2019s vibrant pink blush swept up from her cheeks to her lids. Model Adut Aketch also opted for a shocking shade of neon pink for her cheeks, to stunning effect. For her first Met Gala, BlackPink\u2019s Jisoo opted for a soft, pastel pink color palette, while veteran attendee Zoe Kravitz<\/a> opted for a subtle pink smoky eye.<\/p>\n
