Laufey is one of those celebrities who continuously delivers beauty looks that are so aesthetically pleasing that our romance-loving hearts skip a beat. The Icelandic Chinese singer-songwriter and musician rose to prominence over the pandemic with the success of her velvety-smooth voice, jazz-inspired sound, recognizable coquette style (we’re talking about pastel-colored bows, oversize collars, and vintage-inspired minidresses with knee socks), and social media presence frequently featuring her identical twin and creative director, Junia.
Since winning a Grammy Award last year, our favorite self-proclaimed lover girl has gone on to announce a third album heading our way on August 22, 2025: A Matter of Time. To celebrate its release, we’re rounding up a few of our favorite Laufey beauty moments, from the Met Gala to Paris Fashion Week and beyond.

Time and Place: Attending the Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, May 2024
For her appearance at the Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion Met Gala in May 2024, Laufey wore a blush-toned dress featuring layered ruffles, delicate floral embellishment, and a silken bodice by Nepalese American designer Prabal Gurung paired with a floaty veil decorated with notes to a Bach fugue. Her makeup look for the night, by Emily Cheng, was created by a lineup of Ilia products, including the Multi-Stick in Dreamer and A Fine Romance on the eyes and cheeks for a rosy glow, the Lip Sketch in Banquette for matte pink lips, and the In Frame Brow Gel to shape the brows.
