This year's Met Gala honoured Miuccia Prada and Elsa Schiaparelli — which translates to plenty of pink on the red carpet! From hot pink hair to long dark nails to tangerine lips to almost-black pouts, the night's trends are shaping up to be just as bold and unconventional as the designers being honored. Keep reading to see our round-up of the best beauty looks from the event.
You can always bet on a red carpet full of neutral nails, just like the ones Karolina Kurkova donned at the Met Gala festivities. And while it's a classy way to make any ensemble look put together, you can't beat a little colour, either. See which stars went down the neutral route and who picked a pop of punchy colour (like yellow!) at this year's Met Costume Institute Gala.
Karolina Kurkova teamed her sequin gown with a matching sequined turban-style headpiece at the Met Costume Institute Gala. It's a daring look, and not one that everyone could get away with, but Karolina always manages to look flawless. Today is no exception. Her skin, with those sculpted cheekbones and beautiful texture, managed to hold its own against all those sequins and the metallic bronze and black eye was one of our favourite makeup looks so far.

Kirsten Dunst went for retro glamour in a two-piece ensemble by Rodarte at the Met Costume Institute Gala. Her beauty look also seems to have been influenced by the sisters' most recent runway show with Kirsten wearing her hair curled and pinned back with a golden brooch — a similar look to the Australian outback-inspired Fall 2012 show. Kirsten's eyes were also a feature thanks to metallic lavender shadow. Fun fact: Kristen wore NARS blush in Zen. Do you like it?

Not many people can get away with wearing such a low-fi hair and makeup look on the red carpet and still end up looking ultra glamorous. But then not many people are Diane Kruger. Adding some length to her hair with extensions, she's casually draped it over one shoulder but has made sure the finish isn't too polished or too poker straight. Her makeup is flawless. The gold around her eyes really makes them pop and pink blush and gloss perfectly complement each other.

Emma Stone looks impossibly cute at the Met Costume Institute Gala. First up we're loving her teased and textured up 'do that's perfectly accessorised with some black and jewelled over-sized hair slides. Then there's the peach blush which works so well on her skin tone. And then there's the liquid eyeliner which she's proving to be quite the fan of — she rocked it at the Oscars and now it's back again. All in all it's a winning look, wouldn't you agree?

Gwyneth Paltrow is another one who never fails to disappoint on the red carpet. Opting for a fresh-faced look at this year's Met Costume Institute Gala, Gwyneth's sporting a pop of silver on the inner V's of her eyes which really has that eye-brightening effect. It's teamed with black liner, mascara on the upper and lower lash lines and a nude lip. And her strands are styled very sleekly in a centre part and low-slung up 'do. What do you think of Gwyneth's latest look?

Cameron Diaz always makes red carpet beauty look effortless. And after recently confessing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno that her shorter hair was a "misunderstanding" and caused the A-lister to burst into tears, it seems Cameron is getting used to the length and getting experimental with it, showing just how versatile short hair can be. Wearing it up with volume running through the fringe, she's finished it up with rose blush and a nude lip. What do you think?

Kate Bosworth, where, oh where, do we begin? Once again you've excelled yourself. It's hard to pinpoint the detail that we like the most: the cute 'n' chic braided high bun, the blue liner or that sexy red wine lip. What is certain is that we'll be stealing all elements this weekend. Thoughts?
