Sure, the Met Gala is all about the fashion extravaganza, but let’s not overlook the beauty moments that make heads turn just as much. As your beauty editor-at-large here at Cosmo, I’m here to shine a spotlight on the stunning beauty look that stole the spotlight at this year’s Met Gala: Zendaya’s.
Let’s be honest, Zendaya can do no wrong when it comes to red carpet appearances. And this year was no exception. What caught my eye first was her intense smokey eye, perfectly complementing her embellished Maison Margiela gown. The halo effect created with a berry-hued eyeshadow added a modern twist to the classic all-black look, while her micro-thin brows were painted on with precision.
But the real showstopper? Zendaya’s oxblood-colored lips, glossed to perfection. While pairing bold eyes and lips can sometimes be risky, Zendaya effortlessly pulled it off with sheer elegance.
And let’s not forget about her hair and headpiece, expertly crafted by celebrity hairstylist Ursula Stephen. Inspired by the calla Lily flower, Zendaya’s chignon exuded subtle sophistication, with wisps of hair delicately floating at the edges for an effortless-chic touch.

According to Stephen, Zendaya and her stylist Law Roach understand the importance of embracing what works for them, rather than competing with others. And it shows in Zendaya’s flawless beauty choices.
In conclusion, Zendaya owned the 2024 Met Gala red carpet (she even had a second look!), and her beauty moment was undoubtedly the highlight of the night. So, let’s give credit where credit is due and crown Zendaya with the best beauty moment of the evening!
