The first Monday in May is the ball of ALL balls; when anyone who is anyone is cordially invited to fashion’s biggest night of the year, aka The Met Gala. For beauty and fashion lovers, it’s basically like Christmas, New Years, and Thanksgiving all rolled into one. This year’s theme? “Camp: Notes on Fashion,” so basically go big or go home and LIVE for the glam!
From the gowns covered in sequins and feathers to bedazzled nails, wet-look skin and lashes longer than the average arm; the beauty looks served this year did not disappoint! But among the stunningly crazy looks, there were also some seriously hot, very wearable hair and makeup looks. But the BIG question is, what do you live for: The crazy or the wearable? Check it out and then vote for your fave:

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.
Hailey Bieber

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 Shahidi

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.
Winnie Harlow

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

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!
Kylie Jenner

The wig, the lashes, the contacts? We can’t get enough of this look created by Kylie’s go-to MUA, Ariel.
Zoe Saldana

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.
