met gala 2014

no event brings fashion more to the forefront than that of the met ball. with a more subdued theme this year - charles james: beyond fashion - this annual fund raising gala benefits the metropolitan museum of art's costume institute. it's really the only time where fashion can really go (excuse the french) balls to the wall. here are my top five picks from last night's star-studded event:

beyonce in givenchy

karolina kurkova in marchesa

blake lively in gucci

naomi watts in givenchy haute couture

kristen stewart in chanel

orange met

ginnifer goodwin in monique lhuillier 

katharine mcphee in elie saab


kristen wiig in stella mccartney

kristen bell in tommy hilfiger

emma roberts in escada

eva mendes in prada

kristen dunst in rodarte
whether we like it or not, orange made a splash at the met ball this week. stars, designers, models, and socialites all gathered in new york city with much fashion bravado.

my best dressed? karolina kurkova in rachel zoe. she looked like a golden statue. who can seriously wear that head piece and still look jaw-droppingly stunning?
