Given the medieval history of its subject matter, the red carpet for this year’s Met Gala theme — “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination”— was always going to be an ode to opulence. While some stars missed the religious memo, most came dressed to impress — and gave Pope Francis a run for his money in the process.

But just because the majority of the attendees showed up dripping in ornate, painstakingly handcrafted custom couture and Lorraine Schwartz diamonds with price tags that would make Abraham do a double take doesn’t mean Hollywood’s biggest stars didn’t leave room for some high street beauty. Ahead, check out every famous face who wore drugstore beauty to worship at the church of fashion of Met Gala 2018.

Evan Rachel Wood
With head-to-toe gold the look of the evening, hairstylist John D. knew Wood’s hair had to be simple and chic as to not overshadow her hand-beaded feathers. The trick to keeping her low bun in place all night: an extra-hold spray that leaves the hair soft, not crunchy.

Amanda Seyfried
If you’re feeling like Seyfried is the modern day Juliet Capulet, then you’re not totally wrong. Makeup artist Katey Denno was inspired by the Shakespearean classic and the actress’ Prada gown when she created this look. After witnessing Seyfried’s glow last night, it’s hard to not think she’s an archangel. You can get on her level by sporting the same lippie; using a balm-y option from Burt’s Bees.

Kylie Jenner
The only thing cooler — but slightly more practical — than wearing chainmail-covered sunglasses indoors? A lazy-girl updo created by hairstylist Andrew Fitzsimons.
