Purple reigned supreme at the Met Ball 2014

From Nicole Richie's purple hair to Lupita Nyong'o's dramatic purple liner, right down to Joan Small's dramatic mauve lips, spring/summer 2014's key trend is all systems go.

Violet hues, as seen at Chloe, PPQ and Prabal Gurung, ruled at the Met Ball 2014. And what's not to love about purple? It's known for suiting every eye colour, and yes, it requires confidence, but purple packs some power, and you can't deny that.

90s White Eyeliner

White eyeliner, huge in the 90s, is now making a comeback. At last night's Met Ball we spotted loads of celebs with white eyeline in the waterline - Amber Heard, Dree Hemmingway, Kendall Jenner, and Suki Waterhouse all rocked the look, and what's not to love? White eyeliner brightens eyes, and makes you look instantly awake.
