Best dressed at the 2012 Met Gala

Picture 9/10: A perfect choice. This high-necked, low-backed Tom Ford pulls triple duty—it’s elegant, sexy, and captures the charisma of pop’s coolest star. Don’t you want to go to the after-party she’s going to?

Picture 10/10: We were thrilled to see florals—one of our favourite spring trends—represented so beautifully on the red carpet last night. Snaps, SJP.

Picture 1/10: Last night’s Met Gala red carpet was awash in Prada, but it was Carey’s gold and silver pailette dress that completely captured our hearts. (Fitting for a glowing newlywed!) Sculptural, sexy and a little surreal, the frock was the perfect fit for an event celebrating two of the most visionary designers of the century. (Side note? Gwyneth’s surprising thumbs-down. Maybe after scoring a universal best-dressed nod at the 2012 Oscars, our G wanted to share the spotlight a little. Um, sure. Next year, we predict she brings it.)

Picture 2/10: Blue Ivy who? Beyoncé showed off her….assets with a little help from Riccardo Tisci.

Picture 3/10: Doesn’t this make you so excited for The Great Gatsby remake? (December 2012, friends.) Camilla rocked it last night in a beaded tulle dress and the best beauty of the night—flawless skin with dark, dramatic lips.
