You’ve seen the red carpet looks from the Met Gala, now it’s time to take a closer look at some of the statement accessories that made our list of must see looks on the red carpet.

We’ve also added a few beauty looks worth seeing like the undo hairstyle on Lupita Nyong’o and Katy Perry‘s gothic makeup. The theme for this year’s Met Gala was “Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology” so be prepared for lots of metallics and sparkle!

So let’s start with The Guys

Zayn Malik & Gigi Hadid

Loved Zayn’s metal arms, it was very terminator-esque and Gigi’s hand jewellery was also quite nice but I really loved her silver pointed manicure!

Lupita Nyong’o

Kudos to Lupita’s team for keeping things interesting and fresh with her natural hair and natural-looking extensions. This layered bun was regal and had a futuristic feel.

Zoe Kravitz

I really liked her outfit with the ‘wings’, it was reminiscent of her character Angel Salvadore in the X-men: First Class movie. She wore all black but it definitely wasn’t boring with her accessories, see the mask and shoes below.

Saoirse Ronan

Notice how her dress transforms from day to night by making it shorter, using the feathers on the shoe as a clutch bag, removing the brooch from her waist and changing her hairstyle.
