The Met Gala 2025 came and went in a cloud of couture, chrome, and crystal — but the real show? Brows. Everywhere.
Big ones, bleached ones, brushed-up beauties. If eyes were the story, brows were the punctuation.
Before the blue carpet unrolled, we put out our predictions on what would dominate brow-wise — and we’re happy to say: we were (mostly) spot on.
A few surprises threw us, sure, but isn't that the beauty of beauty?
Let’s break down what we saw, what we got right, and what’s about to hit your Pinterest board next.

The Brow Forecast Is In - and the Met Gala Just Proved Us Right (Mostly)
Brows said more than words. From soft gloss to full sparkle, here’s what caught our eye — and how to make it your own.

Spoiler: We Predicted the Met Gala's Biggest Brow Moments
MET GALA BROW TRENDS
Baby Brows: Fluffy & Fresh
Soft. Brushed-up. Effortlessly angelic.
Prediction: Spot on.
This was one of our biggest forecasts - and the carpet delivered.
Gigi Hadid, Emma Chamberlain, and Dua Lipa all kept things clean, light, and lifted with feathery, almost unstyled brows.
It’s the kind of “barely touched” that actually takes some finesse.
Your Take-Home Version for Baby Brows:
Take our Clear Brow Gloss to gently fluff, hold and set for 15+. Think whisper, not shout.

Toned-Out Brows: Invisible Chic
This isn’t about disappearing brows — it’s about neutralising them with precision.
The toned-out brow softens contrast without sacrificing structure, creating an ethereal, ultra-modern frame for the face.
Let’s break it down:
Keke Palmer took it celestial — her brows were lightened just enough to blur into her skin tone, letting graphic liner and glassy skin take the spotlight.
Technique:
Use a spoolie to back-brush your brows with a tinted gel one to two shades lighter than your natural tone, then shape upward to diffuse definition.
Finish with a light concealer just above and below the brow for a blurred edge.
Brow Expert Top Tip
Want a true bleached effect? That’s one for your brow tech. We never fake bleach with heavy concealer — it’s all about technique, tone and texture.

Boy Brows: Full, Flat, and Fierce
Structured chaos, but make it polished.
We said this shape was on the rise, and it showed up stronger than ever.
Wearing a custom look by London-based designer Ahluwalia - the same visionary behind our BBB London Eyebrow Pencil, Aimee Lou Wood’s straighter brow was soft but intentional and thoughtfully styled.
Sabrina Carpenter took it one step further, wearing hers with bold precision. This shape is thick, flat, and quietly confident - just like the product that helped shape it.
To Try It At Home:
Forget the arch. The key to this look is a straight, full brow — and our BBB London Eyebrow Pencil is made for it.
The waxy texture glides on effortlessly for precise, natural-looking definition, whilst also guaranteeing 14hrs+ smudge-proof, sweat-proof defintion.
Pair it with a flexible-hold gel to lock in that quietly bold finish.
Trust us — your brow routine needs this.

Renaissance Brows: Arched Drama
History, remixed.
The Met always calls for drama, and Jenna Ortega answered — bold, sculpted, and unmistakably modern. Her high, structured arch brought Botticelli to mind… if Botticelli knew how to work a brow pencil.
This is the renaissance brow, reimagined. Clean. Poetic. Slightly defiant.
Here’s how to take it on, thoughtfully:
Start by defining the base with an ultra precise brow pencil - use feather-light strokes to anchor the brow naturally.
Build up the arch slowly, following your natural bone structure rather than forcing a shape. Then, soften the underside with a light touch of the spoolie to blend & blur.
This isn’t overdrawn or overdone. It’s precision with intention — and our Precision Brow Pencil is designed for exactly that.

And Then Came the Surprises…
Just when we thought we’d seen it all, this year’s Met Gala reminded us: brows are no longer the afterthought — they’re the statement.
The Rise of Embellished Brows
Spotted on Alex Consani and Chappell Roan, brows became literal accessories — adorned with rhinestones, metallic threads, and micro-piercings.
This look wasn’t just bold, it was deliberate.
The shape beneath the sparkle mattered. A clean canvas and strong foundation were essential to make the embellishment feel intentional, not chaotic.
Our Take
Before the drama, there’s discipline. A softly laminated brow with defined edges is the base every embellished look needs.
Think of it as brow architecture — structure first, then style.

Final Takeaways...
Brows at the Met 2025 weren’t just a beauty statement—they were a rebellion, a throwback, a sparkle, a whisper.
From feathery softness to full-throttle fantasy, they told stories, broke rules, and reminded us that beauty, like fashion, is always evolving.
What’s next for brows in 2026? Only time—and TikTok—will tell.
