The Body Edit: Get Anok Yai's Glow
The MET Gala is fashion’s biggest event of the year, but to us, the most memorable look wasn’t an outfit, rather, it was supermodel Anok Yai’s glowing, dewy skin. It’s the definition of body goals. And as we head into summer, we’ve

A rich and creamy body butter that’s richly textured in the way that might have you wondering if it might be too much when you first see it. But the moment this generously bodied cream touches the skin, you’ll understand exactly why this delivers instant rich glow, and nourishment.
So the good news is we uncovered (through a series of TikTok tunnels) the actual product that Anok’s makeup artist uses through beauty guru A Hit of Sarah, who spilled the deets:
“The day right after the Met Gala, I got to shoot with Sheika Daley, the makeup artist behind Anok’s look and body glow, and that’s the first question I asked her,” she said in her video. “What did she use? And she told me it was the Lancôme Nutrix Royal Cream Butter.”
So is it the real deal? While we’re aware there are cosmetics contracts that makeup artists usually work with that keep them bound to using products by the brand, days after this came out, Lancôme’s Nutrix Royal Cream Butter was out of stock, and an influx of 5 star ratings started populating the product page. We’d say the proof is in the photo. Even if it’s mostly genetics, the fact that Anok relied on this one product makes Lancôme’s Nutrix Royal Cream Butter a must-try product for us.
