A Gold-Painted Cara Delevingne Walked the Met Gala Red Carpet Topless, So That's Fun
There's always a lot of chatter about gowns and getups at the Met Gala and understandably so — the night is all about fashion. But while Cara Delevingne made her way to the Metropolitan Museum of Art wearing a satiny, red Dior Haute Couture suit, the talk, once she arrived, wasn't so much about her ensemble as much as what was under it — which she made easy to see by fully removing her jacket to unveil gold-painted toplessness.
Perhaps taking the "gilded" theme more literally than anyone else, Delevingne went full Goldfinger for the 2022 Met Gala, covering her skin from the neck down in metallic makeup. As she posed on the red carpet, the model and actor revealed that there was nothing but paint and pasties underneath her blazer. Okay, and some gold body jewelry too.
The body makeup was nearly a perfect match for Delevingne's golden shade of blonde. Hairstylist Mara Roszak styled her hair for the evening using Wella Professionals products to create a timeless, side-parted, smooth-waves look.
"First, we prepped the hair with Wella Professionals Color Fresh Mask in Golden Gloss to create the gorgeous golden tone that we were going for. I loved the warmth of the color and also how healthy it made the hair look," Roszak said in a statement. Then, on Delevingne's wet hair, she applied EIMI Extra Volume Mousse Strong Hold Volumizing Mousse for soft hold and volume. After blowing out her hair and using a curling iron to create the waves, Roszak finished with EIMI Stay Firm Workable Finishing Hairspray and a bit of brushing.

Although it may be hard to take your eyes off her torso, Delevingne's face makeup deserves your attention. Her skin — prepped by facialist Joanna Vargas — and lips were left low-key, with just a hint of metallic shimmer in the gloss, but her eyes were fully encrusted in gems. Gold and silver crystals surrounded Delevingne's lash lines, curving out into wings that met the ends of her brows.
It's probably safe to assume that Delevingne's wasn't the most comfortable look of the night, but it's easily one of the most memorable.
