The evening is no time to play it safe when it comes to beauty, and for the 2018 event, celebrities and fashion folk drove that point home, with barely a snoozy look to be found.

Theexhibit theme, Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination, lent itself to experimentation with over-the-top adornments and divine regalia. It was a lot to take in. So well break it down for you, with a closer look at the most memorable hair and makeup looks of the evening.

Hair accessories in a variety of forms have been all over the runways and red carpets for the past several seasons – but for the 2018 Met Gala, the fashion crowd super sized the trend. Attendees went all-out with intricate veils, crowns, halos, regal head pieces and (in the case of one thoroughly on-theme Rihanna) a literal pope hat. Also trending at the event? Facial adornments, like Cynthia Erivos blinged-out brows, Lily Collins and Szas gilded tears and Diane Krugers beaded violette.
