Snapshots from the annual Costume Institute Gala Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York! Get set to drool
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York held its annual soiree, the Costume Institute Gala recently and celebrities from around the world put their most fashionable foot forward.
Check out who made heads turn at one of the most important fashion dos in the world.
We start with Emma Stone who was recently voted among the sexiest women in the world and was seen in this pretty pink design by the Thai-American designer Thakoon Panichgul.
If you ever wanted to know how difficult it must be to get around in a stupendously huge gown, Karolina Kurkova might have some answers.
Seen here is the model in a Marchesa gown that received two thumbs up from fashion critics.
Oscar nominated actress Hailee Steinfeld shines in a Prabal Gurung number.
And then of course we have Nicole Richie who showed off her toned back and that tattoo we seem to have fallen in love with.
Trying to channel her inner flapper girl, perhaps not so successfully in a Prada, was the hottest new thing in Hollywod, Lupita Nyong'o.
Gisele Bundchen in THAT black number. 'Nuff said!
Adriana Lima in Givenchy Haute Couture gown -- hot or not?
Looking particularly excited to be on the red carpet with his soon-to-be-wedded-wife, Kim Kardashian, Kanye West paints an interesting picture, don't you think? :-P
Next up, Naomi Campbell smoulders in this daring Givenchy number!
Yet another Givenchy on the red carpet, this time on Beyonce!
There are red carpet dresses and there are red carpet dresses, Anne Hathaway's Calvin Klein number is the latter.
You got to be a Victoria Beckham to carry off your own design. Seen here is the star fashion designer with husband David Beckham who nailed it in this Ralph Lauren Black Label suit.
Also channelling their monochrome selves was the actor couple Sean Penn and Charlize Theron.
Blake Lively in a Gucci seems thrilled to be by husband Ryan Reynolds' side.
Having trouble keeping up, Johnny? The 50-year-old actor took support of a cane as he escorted his 28-year-old fiance Amber Heard (dazzling btw in a Giambattista Valli Haute Couture dress).
Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley took a moment to pose for designer Olivier Rousteing, the creative director at Balmain, the fashion house whose dress she also is wearing :-)
We aren't quite sure what to make of this Oscar de la Renta number on Sarah Jessica Parker. Are you?
Both Jessica Alba (L) and Leighton Meester opted for plunging necklines and how!
Pastels were the way to go for pop star Taylor Swift and model Suki Waterhouse.
Singer Rita Ora seemed to be having a tough time with her rather risque Donna Karan number and may have shown us more skin than she intended.
Never the one to shy away from showing off her incredibly hot bod, Rihanna turned up the heat at the Met red carpet too.
Opting for trousers were British supermodel Cara Delevingne and designer Stella McCartney. Kate Bosworth and Reese Witherspoon though seemed happy to tow the line with classic evening gowns.
Yellow, as you can see, may not necessarily be the colour for this season.
Karlie Kloss glammed it up in an Oscar de la Renta gown while Arizona Muse looked pretty as a Disney princess in a Ralph & Russo number and Lily Donaldson turned up the heat in a monochrome Burberry number.
And we wind up with Kate Upton's Dolce & Gabbana number that may have showed off her… er… best assets but was most certainly a fashion fail. :-(
