Janelle Monae
How is it possible that Janelle Monae's skin shone with as much celestial wattage as her gold halo and bejeweled headdress combined? Well, according to makeup artist Jessica Smalls, Monae's naturally glowy complexion got a boost from Marc Jacobs Dew Drops Coconut Gel Highlighter in Fantasy, $44.

Zendaya
Zendaya went full on Joan of Arc, from her choppy auburn bob down to her armor-inspired Versace. She's like a high-fashion version of Albert Lynch's famous Jeanne d'Arc painting, right down to her serious-as-a-heart attack expression. And yes, she's gone red for real: "We have been talking about going red with her hair for almost a year now, so we were excited when tonight felt like the perfect fit," said hairstylist Ursula Stephen.

Anne Hathaway
With the exception of hair ornaments that looked like they could double as weapons and a strategic sprinkling of eye-catching gold glitter on her lower lashline, Anne Hathaway actually kept her beauty look on the more low-key side of things. How gorgeous is that matte rosy-nude lip?

SZA
Out of all the crowns that made their way down the Met Gala red carpet, let it here be known that SZA's star-studded take was one of the best. That, together with her sparkling gold teardrops, really sealed the deal on a truly fantastic look. Her makeup look, created by Samuel Paul for Pat McGrath Labs, featured an eye look created with the Mthrshp Subliminal Platinum Bronze Palette, $55, layered over with the shade VR Violet from the Mothership I Eyeshadow Palette - Subliminal, $125. As for the gold accents in the eyeshadow (as well as the gold tears), they were made with the Sinful shade from the Mothership IV Eyeshadow Palette - Decadence.
