Three things stood out at the 2023 Met Gala. Rihanna’s iconic entrance (it’s Valentino, baby!), Serena Williams’ pregnancy revelation, and Anok Yai’s e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g!!
The 25-year-old supermodel ate and left no crumbs!
And while her sparkling, chandelier-esque Prabal Gurung dress with a fishnet visor stole the show and got Lala Anthony dumbfounded, Anok’s luxuriously glowing skin ended up being the main conversation piece.
She literally broke the internet with the girlies asking how she achieved such a super-sexy, dewy glow.
Well, TikTok user and beauty enthusiast @ahitofsarah took it upon herself and met up with Anok’s makeup artist, Sheika Daley, who uncovered the secret to the supermodel’s Met Gala glow.
The American fashion model slathered herself with Lancôme’s Nutrix Royal Body Butter ($47).
The super-rich and creamy body butter is touted to be deeply hydrating and packed with royal jelly, hazelnut peptides, vegetable oils, and moisture-trapping lipids that nourish and restore the skin, leaving you feeling silky, smooth, and oh-so-Met-Gala-luxurious.
And based on @ahitofsarah’s review, the body butter also smells delicious and absolutely gives you that Anok Yai glow!

Well, we and a couple of other dark-skinned beauties beg to differ.
You see, while the Lancôme body butter did play a part in giving Anok that internet-breaking shimmer, her melanated skin is what made her pop and glow at the fashion event. But then again, when has this beauty queen’s skin not “shined bright like a diamond”?
Ummm….never!
Melanin doesn’t come to play, boo!
It thrives in every moment, stands out at every red-carpet event, and glows like it’s been kissed by the embers of the sun!
Or, as @aduflexxx put it in this video, you can’t buy melanin! It’s a gift that’ll keep shining, glowing, and looking yummy no matter where you go!

Then again, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try the body butter. With a Sheika Daley stamp of approval, the Nutrix Body Butter is definitely worth a splurge!
Oh, and if you were also looking for the product Ms. Yai used on her lips – because they looked so lusciously juicy, Anok used the Lancôme Juice Tubes Original Gloss ($24).
The moisture-packed product has some yummy scented flavors in three shiny finishes – sparkle, jelly, and creamy. Plus, with four hours of lasting hydration, you can enjoy channeling Ms. Yai’s Met Gala look for as long as you want!
And that’s it!
So, the next time you step out to the streets, remember to let your melanin glow naturally! It’s the only way to keep ‘em heads turning and girlies scrambling, looking for ways to shine like you!
For now, let’s keep admiring her royal supermodel self, Anok Yai.
