As the first Monday in May arrives, so does the highly anticipated 2024 Met Gala. Amidst the dazzling gowns and avant-garde suits interpreting this year’s theme, “The Garden of Time,” our focus shifts to the standout beauty looks gracing the event’s red carpet. Blush emerged as a standout trend, applied generously on the cheekbones for a striking effect. Additionally, micro bangs made a comeback, sported by supermodel Ashley Graham and actor Taylor Russell, while coquettish hair bows—always a favorite—were elegantly worn by stars like La La Anthony.
