Makeup and hair looks generally fell into two main camps for the “Garden of Time” theme to celebrate the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” exhibition: bold glamour referencing vintage looks or fresh-faced, boho-themed hair, skin and makeup to evoke the event’s emphasis on gardens and florals. Host Zendaya accomplished both looks in one night, with a full outfit change that also involved a beauty switch-up from heavy and dramatic to floral and ethereal.
