We can always count on Jennifer Lopez to do a red carpet right—and at this year’s Met Gala we were not disappointed. As one of the co-hosts, Lopez understood the ᴀssignment (and more) when she wowed everyone in a near-see-through gown adorned with stone embellishments, showing off her immaculate curvy figure.

Though the dress, which is Schiaparelli couture, may be the focal point of Lopez’s look, her neutral makeup and hair offer a nice balance to ground it. The inspo: a ʙuттerfly. “The inspiration for this look was a ʙuттerfly transforming into something beautiful,” celebrity hairstylist Lorenzo Martin tells Vogue exclusively. “Just like a ʙuттerfly, we wanted the hair to be angelic, fresh, and beautiful.”

Martin goes on to say that they wanted to go for an effortless and angelic look to play well into the theme and decided to keep everything soft. He used Shark FlexStyle® Sparkle Air Styling & Drying System in Black Diamond to give Lopez’s hair texture and the Tresemme Exta Hold Hair Spray to lock the look in place. The Tangle Teezer Ultimate Styler, he says, helped create those “angelic peices” around the face.

For makeup, Lopez then opts for neutrals, with a mix of browns, pinks, and caramel eyeshadow shades along the eyelids with subtle shimmer to match the sparkle of that incredible dress. Bronzer contours her cheekbones and gives her an ethereal glowing complexion. To finish her makeup look, she opts for a neutral glossy lip—a classic for the singer (and something that just works for any and all occasions) for added shine. Lopez proves that less is more when it comes to makeup and hair, especially when one wears Schiaparelli.
