Hailey Bieber is granting an exclusive peek into her meticulous preparation for the grand 2025 Met Gala, a night where elegance takes center stage.

Among her beauty regimen, a particularly shiver-inducing facial ritual captivated viewers' imaginations.

On May 6, Hailey took to TikTok to chronicle her skincare routine for fashion's most anticipated evening. The video opened with a breathtaking scene—Hailey submerging her face into an enormous bowl of icy water, her features remaining immersed for an elongated few seconds. Captioning this daring plunge, the 28-year-old simply penned, "Facial Ice Bath," evoking a sense of wonder and admiration.
Before gracing the iconic Met steps, Hailey—who shares her 8-month-old son, Jack Blues Bieber, with her husband, Justin Bieber—indulged in a luxurious "depuffing" moisturizer, followed by a hydrating sheet mask that encapsulated all that moisture within her radiant skin, leaving it flawlessly smooth.
However, skin perfection was merely one facet of Hailey's meticulous preparation for the star-studded gala, co-chaired by A$AP Rocky, Lewis Hamilton, Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo, and Anna Wintour, with LeBron James serving as the honorary co-chair. Beyond pampering her clear and plump complexion, the model crafted a delightful martini, savoring each sip as she made her journey from her hotel to the museum.
"One thing about me," Hailey wrote on her Instagram Stories on May 5, alongside a snap of her holding her to-go cocktail, "is I'm gonna wear a blazer and drink a martini."
And all that meticulous preparation certainly bore fruit. Hailey stole the spotlight at the "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style"-themed event in a dazzling black Saint Laurent mini dress, paired with tights, platform heels, and a statement diamond necklace from Tiffany & Co. "I'm just excited," Hailey told Vogue of her mindset heading into the haute couture fundraiser. "It's always a thoroughly enjoyable night, and the after-party is always a blast."
