The Metropolitan Museum’s annual Costume Institute Gala is the ultimate red carpet event. This is the night when the world’s most celebrated celebrities, gorgeous models and talented designers come to show off their most over-the-top fashion moments for the world (and Anna Wintour, of course) to see. Designers are escorted by their muses for the evening, all dressed in their latest runway looks.
Unlike the Oscars or the even the Grammy’s, the Met Gala is all about making an unforgetable style statement. There were some hits, note Cate Blanchett in a black feathered Alexander McQueen (I mean, seriously gorge!). And there were some misses, cue Beyonce’s sheer mishap (I mean really people??).
At the end of the day, fashion is about having fun and dressing up. Here are just a few of my favorite looks from the evening.
