Doja Cat and makeup artist Pat McGrath are always making a beauty statement—and tonight’s 2024 Met Gala is no exception. After a few days of teasing us with street style appearances around New York City (with Vetements’s Guram Gvasalia), this evening’s reveal was fresh out of the shower. Or at least it appeared to be.
Act 1: Towel Time
While exiting the Mark Hotel (a known favorite for getting ready for the night), Doja started with a Crown Affair hair towel, along with a diamond necklace and small, fuzzy white towel. Her glam was shower-scream good, all done at the hands of McGrath—sultry eyes painted bronze and rimmed with kohl, nude ’90s supermodel lips, and “mascara” like rivers streaming from her eyes.
“For Doja’s Met Gala look, we used glitter to paint shimmering, enchanted tears of joy streaming down her cheeks,” McGrath tells Vogue. “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!”
Act 2: Water Sign
She may be a Libra, but somewhere between climbing into the car and arriving at the steps of the museum, a transformation happened: Doja Cat ditched her towels for an oversized T-shirt dress (to some of us, it looks like the sleep shirts of our childhood) and not much else, providing a unique twist on the theme of the night.
Act 3: Sheer Ambition
The Met Gala after parties are almost as famous (and fashionable) as the event itself. For her final event (and Vetements ensemble) of the night, Doja went full-on monochromatic nude. The two-piece sheer set was subtly logoed so you knew what brand it was, but not much else was left to the imagination.
