You know when someone arrives with a celebrity makeup artist as their date, their beauty look is going to be on point and that was certainly the case for Lily James.

The Cinderella star arrived with none other than Charlotte Tilbury at the 2023 Met Gala, and unveiled a fresh beauty look.

The 33-year-old actress channelled a modern day Audrey Hepburn with a razor cut micro fringe, and voluminous bun and it was the perfect antidote to her punky black leather ball gown from Tamara Ralph Couture. Like Anne Hathaway she also adorned her hair with a Camellia flower, a signature motif of Chanel, and Lily topped things off with dazzling jewels by De Beers.

Also on point were her black leather and sheer gloves, which were ostensibly a tribute to the evening Karl Lagerfeld theme. The German fashion designer was renowned for wearing fingerless leather Chanel gloves. It’s all about the details.

“You really see for 65 years how Karl just was so creative, so visionary, invented so many things and at the same time, I think was intrinsically the chicest designer that you can ever imagine,” Vogue editor Anna Wintour explained to host Lala Anthony on the red carpet at the start of the evening, continuing “I always love to see what everybody is wearing on the carpet and I have been lucky enough to have a sneak preview of what some of our guests are wearing. And I'm just so grateful that they've made such an incredible effort.”
