Joan Smalls' Bold Lip
Smalls added major drama to her strapless nude Vera Wang by pairing it with the biggest beauty risk we saw all night: an electric purple lip.

To get the look, makeup artist Sir John is said to have mixed Estée Lauder navy eyeliner with pink and magenta lipsticks for a completely customized (and completely awesome) purple lip. Sure, it was a little punk (last year's theme), but we thought the statement lip looked modern and cool alongside her otherwise clean makeup and fishtail braid.

Every spring, the fashion world anxiously awaits the kickoff fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's fashion exhibit. It's notoriously a red carpet where Hollywood and society A-listers take some risks, and the 2014 Met Gala was no exception.

This year's event was inspired by fashion designer Charles James, whom the Anna Wintour Costume Center chose to honor with the "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" exhibit. While the gala may have disappointed in terms of fashion (did no one do their research on James' structural gowns?), there were plenty of glam hair and makeup looks to choose from.

Here are our most exhibit-worthy beauty picks from the 2014 Met Gala.
