On Monday evening (May 4), dozens of celebrities graced the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in haute couture outfits and elaborate makeup looks to celebrate art and fashion.
Stars then posted their seemingly flawless, show-stopping looks on social media, thanking their stylists or explaining the inspiration behind their designs.
But unedited pictures captured by professional photographers at the event tell another side of the story. Their work shows how many stars added filters to their Instagram posts, smoothing their skin or giving their photos a bronze goddess look.
