At the 2026 Met Gala, Doja Cat embraced a minimalist yet striking monochromatic makeup look, moving away from her previous year's bold style. Created by celebrity makeup artist Ivan Núñez, the look was designed to be glam and modern while maintaining sharp, angular features reminiscent of ‘80s fashion. Núñez prepped her skin with M.A.C.'s Hyper Real Serumizer and Waterlight Cream, followed by Studio Fix Fluid Foundation for a flawless base. The glossy lip complemented the nude tones of her outfit designed by Anthony Vaccarello for YSL. The collaboration between Doja and Núñez involved weeks of planning, sharing inspiration through social media to refine every detail, including her sharp eyeliner and contoured cheeks. To ensure the makeup lasted throughout the night, Núñez applied plenty of powder and finished with Fix+ Stay Over for a lasting effect.
