The MET's highly anticipated and prestigious looks will be encapsulated in a Pat McGrath x The Met collaboration, which will result in an expansive collection that drew inspiration from this year's 'Heavenly Bodies' theme.
The collection includes both makeup and clothes, all of which hopes to elicit the same glamorous aesthetic of the yearly fashion event. In an official statement, Pat McGrath shared that "The Costume Institute’s exhibitions are legendary, and I am thrilled to be able to present this exclusive range of products inspired by this prestigious exhibition. Religious history and artifacts have always been vital influences on my work, and it is an extraordinary honor for me to be unveiling these new pieces alongside this breathtaking exhibition as the first-ever beauty brand at New York’s iconic Met Store.”
