Honestly, we expected there to be some pretty outrageous beauty looks on the Met Gala red carpet thanks to the theme (read: winged eyeliner and poppy-painted pouts). However, the highlight of this year's red carpet was spotting all the Asian-inspired hair accessories. The headpieces ranged from the extreme (Sarah Jessica Parker's flaming fascinator) to simple and subtle (Diane Kruger's white blossoms). As you flip through all the detail shots from the event, you'll see how the stars played up the theme with botanical baubles and gilded crowns. Get a close-up view of every comb, chopstick, and clip that came down fashion's biggest red carpet when you continue.
