Recreate Met Gala Glam: Doja Cat, SZA & More

Fashion’s biggest night, the Met Gala, wasn’t just about the stunning outfits this year – it was a full-blown celebration of beauty as art! Celebrities transformed the red carpet into a gallery, using hair, makeup, and lashes to craft complete, artistic statements. If you were inspired by the incredible glam moments, consider this your guide to recreating some of the most talked-about looks.

1. Doja Cat’s Sculpted Waves

Doja Cat’s stylist, JSTAYReady, created dreamy, sculpted waves using RED hot tools, Vivace by Kiss hair extensions, and KISS Colors & Care products. The process involved prepping Doja’s natural hair with a blow dryer and braiding it into cornrows, followed by applying a hydrating oil. The blonde extensions were toned and applied as a full lace wig for maximum volume. The waves were then crafted with a large wave iron, and fly-aways were tamed with an edge wax stick for a flawless finish.

2. SZA’s Dramatic Lash Stack

SZA’s makeup artist, Sophia Sinot, opted for a dramatic cat-eye lash look using Lilly Lashes. The technique involved layering a full strip of ‘Milan 3D Faux Mink Lashes’ as a base, then stacking half of a ‘3D Miami Faux Mink Lash’ on the outer corners. This created a bold, lifted, and ultra-glam finish that perfectly complemented her Met Gala ensemble. For her cascading curls, hairstylist Devante Turnbull used Kiss Colors & Care products, starting with a braid down and wig application, then styling the hair with a wax stick and hot comb for a seamless melt.

3. Teyana Taylor’s Radiant Glow

Representing Revlon, Teyana Taylor exuded a soft yet luminous glam, perfectly balancing glow with intention. Makeup artist Yeika Oliva focused on radiant skin using Revlon ColorStay Foundation and PhotoReady Lift + Fill Skin Tint, paired with Glimmer Blush Drops for an ethereal highlight. The eyes featured a bold, shimmery smokey effect created with Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner Pencil in ‘Blackest Black.’ The look was completed with a classic lip combo: ColorStay Multi-Liner in ‘As Is’ topped with Super Lustrous Lip Balm Shine in ‘006 Girly Swirly.’

4. Janelle Monáe’s Sculptural Bob

Hairstylist Nikki Nelms created Janelle Monáe’s iconic sculptural bob using OGX Beauty products. The hair was prepped with OGX® Nourishing + Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum for hydration. Nelms then sculpted a chin-length bob with a “wet, piecey” artistic finish using OGX® Antioxidants + Touchable Hold Gel to define sleek sections while maintaining movement. The look was set with OGX® Antioxidants + Strong Hold Hairspray to preserve its sculptural integrity.
