Kendall Jenner’s Met Gala appearances are always highly anticipated, and the 2022 event was no exception. The 26-year-old model has solidified her status as a Met Gala mainstay, consistently earning a spot on best-dressed lists since her debut at the iconic fashion fundraiser in 2014.
Known for her show-stopping style, Kendall once again captivated the crowd with a bold and unforgettable look.

The 818 Tequila founder understood the assignment and went the vampy route, perfectly fitting the evening’s theme centered around the Gilded Age.
She wore a custom Prada two-piece black ball gown featuring a voluminous double silk-satin skirt with hand-pleated ruched accents and a long floor-sweeping train.
The 5’10 model paired the dramatic skirt with a nipple-baring black tulle top with a bejeweled net overlay.

Not only did Kendall ditch her bra, but she also ditched her eyebrows, posing on the red carpet with newly bleached brows for a more dramatic look.
The wealthy model looked almost unrecognizable with this bold beauty move, which she teamed with darker hair color. She recently dyed her tresses red in February but returned to her brunette roots for the gala.

Kendall Jenner’s Striking Makeup Look by Mary Phillips
Makeup artist Mary Phillips crafted Kendall’s striking beauty look using products from Kylie Jenner’s cosmetics line.
To achieve a radiant, sculpted complexion, she applied the Kendall x Kylie Bronzing Powder in Tequila Tan, complemented by the Pressed Blush Powder in Pink Dreams, and added a luminous touch with the Kylighter Illuminating Powder in Cheers Darling.
For Kendall’s bold eye look, Phillips used shades Tell Me More and Mocha Latte from Kylie’s The Bronze Palette, enhancing the drama with black liquid eyeliner and a matte dark brown gel eyeliner pencil.
To complete the look, she painted Kendall’s lips with the Felt Cute and You’re Cute Jeans Lip Shine Lacquer duo, perfectly balancing the soft glam. Finally, Phillips subtly defined Kendall’s statement bleached brows using Kylie’s Kybrow Gel.
