Lily Collins has always been deeply referential with her directional beauty looks—and her big-haired moment on tonight s Met Gala red carpet was no exception. Wearing a ruffled white gown trailed by a floor-sweeping train, with her dark tresses sculpted into a teased-to-the-heavens bouffant with waist-grazing extensions, the English-American actress channeled Priscilla Presley (née Beaulieu) on her wedding day to Elvis at the Aladdin Hotel in 1967.
Modernizing Presley s iconic towering mane, Collins fastened on a puffy white headband and spangled her voluminous crown with delicate florals in lieu of a veil. And then there was her retro eye makeup, which saw her recreating Presley s graphic matrimonial gaze with heavy feline flicks, fluttery faux lashes, and swathes of pastel pigment on the lids. Collins opted for a soft lavender shadow that popped against her glossy pale lips. The cherry on top of her Priscilla-fied transformation? Long pink talons, of course. Nodding to the past while adding her own subtle nuances, Collins is a study in a vintage tribute done right.
