Met Gala 2014

Last night the annual Met Gala took place in New York, to mark the start of the new exhibition 'Charles James: Beyond Fashion', which runs from May 8th - August 10th. The event, which costs $15,000 to attend, is the ultimate red carpet event in the fashion calendar. All guests are invited by Anna Wintour, who also approves or denies all outfits prior to the event.

I have put together a few boards, showing the variety of different looks the stars chose to wear.

I really liked the variety of gowns and dresses at this years Met Gala. We saw different lengths, different styles and varying colours. Whilst some opted to play it safe and keep their look classic, others went all out to make an entrance and ensure all eyes were on them.

My personal favourites: Lupita Nyong'o, Rosie Huntington Whiteley (Does she ever look anything other than incredible?), Emmy Rossum (for being brave enough to wear both colour and print!), Dita Von Tesse ( I'm not usually a fan of her style but this gown had the 'wow' factor for me)

Who was your best dressed from this event?
