“Pam wanted to wear makeup again for the Met Gala, so we created a look that acknowledged her natural beauty but then took it to the next level,” makeup artist extraordinaire Pat McGrath said, according to People. “We wanted to explore the next incarnation of natural — an elevation of natural — and to show how you can wear a full face of makeup but in a very fresh and beautiful way.” The gala, which traditionally takes place on the first Monday in May at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is centered around the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”
