Zendaya’s highly-anticipated appearance at the 2025 Met Gala gave fans everything they hoped for—elegance, creativity, and a glam moment that’s already going viral. 

Her white Louis Vuitton suit and wide-brimmed hat were unforgettable, alongside her stunning makeup look, especially that sculpted, glossy ‘90s-inspired lip. 

Makeup artist Ernesto Casillas shared, “For this year’s Met beauty look with Zendaya, I opted for a super smoldering bronzed eye that would stand out under the brim of her hat. I kept the skin sculpted and glowing, with an equally sculpted and glossy lip.” 

The key to her bold lip? Charlotte Tilbury’s newest launches, the Super Nudes Lip Cheat Contour Duo and Big Lip Plumpgasm in Nudegasm Diamonds. 

Together, they created a contoured, full effect with just the right amount of gloss. Now that these products are available, it’s easier than ever to recreate Zendaya’s viral lip look and join the ‘90s lip revival.
