On that significant first Monday in May, the most prominent and talked-about celebrities gathered at the Met's iconic staircase to flaunt stunning fashion and extraordinary beauty looks. While it’s affectionately dubbed "fashion's biggest night out," I believe it should be renamed "fashion and beauty's biggest night out," as I'm *still* pondering the most memorable hair and makeup styles. Highlights included Hailey Bieber's goddess bun, Paloma Elsesser's "subversive, sexy skin," and Ayo Edebiri's angelic glam with a $180 Chanel foundation. And I can't overlook Nicole Kidman's lengthy hair extensions or Misty Copeland's soft yet structured glow.
As I watched the parade of celebrities in their art-inspired designer gowns, Zoë Kravitz caught my attention. This marked her 11th Met Gala appearance. She donned a breathtaking black lace dress with a basque waist from Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello, showcasing her connection as a YSL brand ambassador. As a beauty editor, I was particularly drawn to her makeup, which was fresh, luminous, softly blurred, and—believe it or not—crafted entirely with drugstore products!

TikTok fans have even coined the term "Nina Park lips" to describe the soft yet seductive lip looks she concocts for clients like Kravitz, Mia Goth, Kaia Gerber, and Margaret Qualley.
Although Park's signature technique appears deceptively uncomplicated, the execution requires skill to replicate. I’ve tried to achieve a similar effect and can confirm that it demands finesse to come close to a Nina Park-level result. As celebrity makeup artist Alexandra French aptly stated, "Nina Park is truly your favorite makeup artist's favorite makeup artist." Therefore, knowing the specific products she used is an excellent starting point, and in this instance, Park opted for L'Oréal items.
"For Zoë's Met look, I aimed for a fresh and subtly romantic vibe," Park noted in a press release. "The cheeks have a natural blush that adds warmth to the face, and the lip is Colour Riche Satin Lipstick in 762 Divine Wine, which harmonizes with the skin tone. The lashes are defined yet soft, framing the eyes without detracting from the overall freshness." Below, find the exact items Kravitz wore.
