The MET Gala red carpet is probably one of the most watched after the Oscars. It’s such a high profile event that designers themselves really outdo themselves. This year the theme was White-tie and Celebrations, and before you scratch your head and wonder, let me explain to you what it is – it’s a notch higher than black-tie. Enter coat tails and voluminous ball gowns – very Gone With the Wind-esque. The Gala also paid tribute to America’s original couturier Charles James.

This embellished Pucci gown is perfect on Leighton Meester. The beachy waves add a nice bohemian vibe.

I’m not completely sold on this look but there’s no denying Lupita Nyong’o‘s Prada frock is whimsical and playful and had heads turning.

Co-chair of the ball Sarah Jessica Parker decided to go big – her humongous Oscar de la Renta gown with a black and white grid pattern down the back was certainly tricky to wear, but she pulled it off with elan.
