The 2024 Met Gala was a night to remember, especially for Doja Cat, who stunned everyone with her unconventional yet mesmerizing look. Brett Alan Nelson, Doja’s creative director and stylist, described her outfit as a “million-dollar diamond sitting in the middle of her forehead,” making it the most significant art moment of the year.
For this year’s theme of Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, Doja Cat decided to go with a water-inspired look, featuring bold mascara tears. Renowned makeup artist Pat McGrath was responsible for creating this unique and eye-catching makeup style. The singer debuted her look outside the Mark Hotel, wearing a towel wrapped around her head and body, giving off a mix of “just-got-out-of-the-shower” and ultra-glam vibes that captivated everyone present.
McGrath explained the process behind the look, stating, “We used glitter to paint shimmering, enchanted tears of joy streaming down her cheeks. On her lids, we created the most beautiful gilded cat-eyes using black pencil, black liquid liner, lots of mascara, and the warm scintillating shades in my Mothership V: Bronze Seduction palette. She looks absolutely major!”
The images captured from that night showcase Doja Cat’s fearless approach to fashion and beauty, solidifying her status as a trendsetter in the industry. The combination of her bold makeup choice and striking outfit truly made her stand out on the red carpet, making it a Met Gala moment to remember for years to come.
