Yes, chef — Ayo Edebiri’s Met Gala look was a total head turner. The Bear actor worked with designer Maximilian Davis to make the 2025 “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme her own, with Edebiri opting for a floor-length white gown adorned with uniquely patterned red beading, layered with a black blazer that featured long strands of fabric on the sleeves. She accessorized with gold statement earrings, a brooch, black sheer hand gloves, a standout green ring, and, of course, a stunning makeup look.
Edebiri’s makeup artist, Dee Carrion, opted for a dark-outlined lip with a sheer gloss, ombré eyeshadow techniques, and a solid matte base. But first, her skin had to be prepped flawlessly. Carrion first used Dior Capture Le Sérum, starting at $145 for a 1-ounce bottle, to rejuvenate the face. The product, sold at Sephora or Dior, offers an immediate tightening effect, with visible youthful results on skin with lines and wrinkles when applied morning and night for seven days.
Carrion then applied the $145 Dior Capture Day Crème, which has a visible plumping effect. Once the skin was prepped, Carrion used the $52 Dior Forever Skin Perfect multi-use foundation stick in shade 8N Neutral, which is meant to blur and provide hydration. For the rest of Edebiri’s base makeup, Carrion opted for the $40 Dior Forever Skin Correct Full-Coverage Concealer in shade 8N and the bestselling $47 Dior Forever Skin Contour Stick in color deep.
According to Vogue, the television star’s outfit paid homage to her family’s background. “I’m a Black American who’s half Bajan, half Nigerian, and grew up in church,” Edebiri said. She adds that her dad is “fashionable” and got married to her mom in “leather trousers and tuxedo tails.” Designer Maximilian Davis lends the idea to “self-expression and empowerment,” while also celebrating “Ayo’s individuality” with a “modern take” on her family connection. And like Ayo does with her culinary creations in The Bear, she totally served.
