2015: Diane von Furstenberg Red Gown + Soft, Rosy Glamour

For her first Met Gala, Gigi was seen in a deep-V, sleeveless red Diane von Furstenberg gown with petal-shaped embellishments across the bodice and a thigh-high slit. Her makeup matched the mood of the dress without competing: champagne eyes, a fine black winged eyeliner, individual lashes and a fleshy pink lip that kept the focus on glowing, youthful skin.

2016: Tommy Hilfiger Mirror-Bodice Gown + Polished, Understated Beauty

Gigi's 2016 appearance embraced the futuristic Manus x Machina theme. The dress was covered in tiny mirrors across the strapless bodice, with a see-through skirt and a delicate tulle strip connecting to a beaded choker. Beauty took a back seat to hair and nails: fresh, polished skin with refined definition, while her deep side-parted ponytail and chrome manicure stole the show.

2017: Tommy Hilfiger Asymmetrical Nude Gown + Graphic Liner and "Whisper" Brows

For the 2017 Met Gala, Gigi donned a champagne/nude Tommy Hilfiger gown with an asymmetrical hem (short in front, longer in back), one structured long sleeve and one off-the-shoulder drape, paired with black thigh-high stockings. Gigi's 2017 makeup featured faux-bleached ‘whisper’ brows created with blonde brow makeup rather than actual bleaching. Erin Parsons paired them with a graphic black wing and a relatively natural complexion, complementing her caramel-toned look.

2018: Versace "Stained Glass" Gown + Colorful, Multidimensional Eyes

For the Heavenly Bodies theme, Gigi wore a floor-length Versace gown inspired by stained glass windows, featuring jewel-toned geometric panels, gold flecks, a single covered arm and a thigh-high slit. Complementing the look, she wore layered blue, purple and berry eyeshadow with metallic eyeliner and a brightened waterline.

2019: Michael Kors Sequined Jumpsuit + White Feather Statement Lashes

For the Camp: Notes on Fashion theme, Gigi wore a head-to-toe Michael Kors look with a sequined feathered jumpsuit, matching cape, platform boots and a glittered hat. The beauty focus was on dramatic feather lashes, while the rest of the makeup stayed minimal to let the eyes stand out.

2021: Custom Prada Ivory-and-Black Gown + Powder-Blue Smoky Eyes

When the Met returned in 2021, Gigi opted for a custom Prada ivory silk gown with a contrasting black bodice, black leather gloves, beaded tights and crystal-embellished pumps, channelling 1960s American Vogue glamour. Gigi's 2021 makeup took a retro direction, with Erin Parsons creating powder-blue smokey eyes, classic cat-eye flicks and fluttery lashes. Sculpted dusty-rose cheeks and a nude-pink pout completed the look.

2022: Versace Burgundy Latex Catsuit + Puffer Cape + Statement Lip

In 2022, Gigi was seen in a burgundy-red latex catsuit with a corseted waist, layered under a massive floor-length puffer cape with oversized sleeves and a train that mimicked a ballgown. The lip took center stage: a rich burgundy-red shade that echoed the gown, while skin stayed fresh and glowing and eyes remained subtly defined to keep the focus on that powerful mouth.

2023: Smoky Eyes and Cat-Eye Liner

For the Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty theme, Gigi wore a custom Givenchy Haute Couture look with a strapless corset, silver floral appliqué, sheer black tulle, pearl layers and sheer gloves. Her shimmery silver smoky eye, sharp cat-eye liner and caramel nude lipstick anchored the look against the dramatic black silhouette.

2024: Miu Miu Gold Sequin Slip Gown + Marilyn-Inspired Red Lip

Her 2024 beauty look drew inspiration from Marilyn Monroe, featuring a glossy red lip, smudged liner, naturally full brows, flushed cheeks and defined lashes. Gigi Hadid’s makeup complemented her gold slip-style gown covered in clear crystals, with a thin halter strap, ruched waist detailing and an hourglass silhouette.

2025: Miu Miu Gold Crystal Halter Gown + Bronzed Fresh Glam

The following year, Gigi wore a custom Miu Miu gold gown with a thin halter strap, crystal embroidery and ruched waist detailing, sculpting an hourglass silhouette that felt both luxurious and effortless. The beauty look was sun-kissed and serene: bronzed, radiant skin, softly warmed cheeks, fluffy brows, a rose-toned lip and minimal eye definition—like she’d just stepped into golden-hour light.

2026: Miu Miu Sheer Crystal-Embroidered Gown + Romantic Rosy Blush

Most recently, Gigi stepped out in a sheer Miu Miu couture gown with intricate crystal embroidery in flame-like and floral patterns, a sleek scoop neckline and a body-skimming silhouette over a minimal base layer. Complementing the “naked dress,” her makeup was romantic and minimal: sheer, buildable rosy blush swept across the cheeks and toward the eyelids, full brows and a whisper of mascara for soft, natural lashes.
