Embracing the [punk theme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/essie-punk-at-heart-collection), some more than others, it was interesting to see all of the different interpretations. For instance, Nicole Richie and Anne Hathaway went all out with their 2013 Met Gala Beauty looks by dying their hair. While Hathaway went platinum blonde, Richie adopted a powder white coif.

Others focused on a bit of both. Lily Collins is a perfect example with blue streaks in her tousled hair and subtle [vampiric eye makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/annabelle-cosmetics). Overall, the 2013 Met Gala Beauty looks were at once subtle and dramatic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Punk-inspired Beauty:** Beauty trends inspired by punk culture are emerging, offering opportunities for bold and rebellious beauty products and services. - **Colorful Hair Transformations:** The trend of dying hair in unconventional and vibrant colors is gaining momentum, presenting opportunities for innovative hair color products and salon services. - **Subtle and Dramatic Makeup:** The combination of subtle and dramatic makeup techniques is becoming popular, creating opportunities for cosmetic brands to develop versatile and transformative makeup products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Beauty and Cosmetics:** The beauty and cosmetics industry can tap into the punk-inspired beauty trend by offering edgy and unconventional beauty products and services. - **Hair Salons and Styling:** Hair salons and styling businesses can capitalize on the demand for colorful hair transformations by offering innovative hair dyeing techniques and consultations. - **Fashion and Celebrity Influencer:** Fashion and celebrity influencers can leverage the popularity of subtle and dramatic makeup to collaborate with cosmetic brands and promote versatile beauty looks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High-Fashion Press-On Nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prabal-gurung-x-kiss.md) - [Grungy Movie-Inspired Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/half-magic-beauty.md) - [Festive Makeup Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/annabelle-holiday-collection.md) - [Film Festival Haircare Sponsors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kerastase1.md) - [Express Beauty Festival Activations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impress-no-glue.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Runway-Inspired Peel-Off Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-001-artistry-mask.md) - [Comedic Horror Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyx-x-beetlejuice.md) - [High-End Holiday Makeup Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-holiday-2025-makeup.md)
