Is it just me, or does the cosmos have a flair for drama this Met Gala season? With the Sun dazzling in fiery Taurus, it’s all about embracing beauty through bold, tactile vibes—a cosmic wink that perfectly mirrors Pamela Anderson’s glow-up. “Pam wanted to wear makeup again for the Met Gala,” says the legendary Pat McGrath, “so we created a look that acknowledged her natural beauty but then took it to the next level.” It’s like Taurus whispered, “Let’s take natural to a whole new realm”—a full face of fresh, radiant glam that doesn’t scream “overdone,” but rather shouts confidence in every subtly sculpted contour. And while the theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” pays homage to rich heritage and sartorial finesse, Pam’s elevated natural look reminds us that sometimes, the freshest couture is what’s already inside you—just polished up with a little cosmic magic. Curious how this celestial alignment influenced the night’s glam?
“Pam wanted to wear makeup again for the Met Gala, so we created a look that acknowledged her natural beauty but then took it to the next level,” makeup artist extraordinaire Pat McGrath said, according to People. “We wanted to explore the next incarnation of natural — an elevation of natural — and to show how you can wear a full face of makeup but in a very fresh and beautiful way.”
The gala, which traditionally takes place on the first Monday in May at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is centered around the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”
