Ezra Miller always breaks convention when it comes to his red carpet style-but on the 2019 camp-themed Met Gala red carpet, the actor and singer took it to the next level. Miller tapped Vancouver-based makeup artist Mimi Choi to meticulously create multiple sets of eyes on his face, creating a dizzying-and campy-illusion. It's both headache-inducing and wonderful.

“The celebration of camp is almost funereal,” Miller told Garage about his Burberry look, co-designed in collaboration with the brand's creative director Riccardo Tisci. “It’s almost like it dies as it walks in the room. But I think it consumes the other as well. You know? I think it’s like fire and oxygen.” He wore a pinstripe suite with a train and bedazzled corset, with blinged-out oxford black-and-white shoes to match.

“I had a lot of bizarre thoughts in my brain and was trying to explain them to several people who, in many cases, received it with apprehension, even fear,” he told Garage. “Riccardo was immediately super-exuberant and enthusiastic about the notion. We talked on the phone and from what I’m told, two minutes into the conversation he was drawing the look.”

Miller first hid his incredible makeup behind a face mask, but then pulled it away from his face to reveal five extra sets of eyes. His makeup artist Choi is known for creating unique optical illusions with makeup. A quick scroll through her Instagram and you'll find more than just extra eyes, but also faces covered in swirls, intricate paintings, and even miniature versions of said face.
