Kim is the kween of the wet look. She looks like a real-life mermaid, washed up from the shores and we’re living for it. Her glam team never disappoint.

She wouldn’t be Hailey without her trademark scrunchie and classic wing. It’s simple but it’s slaying! Of course, Jen Atkin worked her magic with Ouai, while MUA Dendoll perfected that insane glow and liner.

Yara’s slither of glitter is understated enough that you could totally wear it to a festival or even on the dancefloor. LOVE!

Bella Hadid

Bella’s wig shouldn’t look good but it does (thanks to the legend that is Jen Atkin and her iconic Ouai products)! Somehow she looks like a Bond Girl about to kick some serious a$$. That double wing and gemstone look is perfection!

Kendall Jenner

Those lashes take that slicked curl to camp glam in seconds. Hair legend Jen Atkin and MUA Mary Phillips always come through for Kendall, and their Met Gala look is no exception.

Okay, so the headpiece may not be applicable for everyday glam, but the makeup look totally is.

Cardi pulled out all the stops this year with her dress and headpiece but kept her beauty look relatively simple (in Cardi terms). That Red lip is straight fire!

When the theme is CAMP, who can resist a little bit (or a lot) of glitter? We’re straight up copying this look for festival season.
