This year, Met gala guests honored the creativity of American fashion in the form of star-spangled gowns and nods to iconic tastemakers. And while we won’t be able to get our hands on the one-of-a-kind garments (Iman’s custom Dolce & Gabbana x Harris Reed headpiece; Ella Emhoff’s patriotic red Stella McCartney ensemble), there is one little way we can bring an element of these memorable red carpet moments into our everyday look—lipstick! Most every person on the red carpet had their lips painted in some hue, and unlike the rest of their ensembles, these lipsticks are highly shoppable.
Rihanna led the beauty parade by lining her pout in a deep burgundy lip paint from Fenty Beauty, of course. On the other side of the spectrum, Billie Eilish switched up her red carpet style with a soft rosy nude color by Charlotte Tilbury.
If you’re curious to discover more glosses, creams, and balms that ruled the Met gala, you’ll find 32 of the best lipstick shades from the glamorous evening ahead.
