China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-kerry-washington-prada
Kerry Washington was the belle of the ball in a flower-embroidered Prada gown. The green pumps weren’t my favorite choice, but the drama of this is exactly what this night is made for.
China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-kris-jenner
Kris Jenner skewed edgy in gold chandelier earrings, a red draped Balmain turtleneck gown belted at the waist, and strappy cap-toe pumps. She rarely disappoints and this was no exception. Hot!
China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-kendall-jenner-calvin-klein
Kendall Jenner surely made a few women green with envy in a jade crystal-embellished dress with lace-up sides from Calvin Klein Collection. In a word: fabulous.
China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-sarah-jessica-parker-philip-treacy
A showstopping Philip Treacy hat and one-shoulder H&M gown made up Sarah Jessica Parker’s look. She’s the reigning Met Gala queen and she’s not giving up her crown.
China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-zoe-kravitz
Zoe Kravitz was rocker chic in a sheer silver mesh Balenciaga gown, cinched at the waist with a studded belt. This was killer!
China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-taraji-p-henson

China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-gabrielle-union-dwyane-wade
Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade were in attendance, with the Being Mary Jane actress in a long-sleeve form-fitting aubergine number from Zac Posen and the Miami Heat star in a navy Versace tux accented with medallion brooches and a red sash underneath. I would’ve loved a bit of tailoring for the hem of Dwyane’s trousers, but other than that, these two looked perfect!
China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-fka-twigs-robert-pattinson
Recently-engaged Robert Pattinson and FKA Twigs made their mark with the songstress in a colorful sheer panel Chrstopher Kane dress with a thigh-high slit.
China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-janelle-monae
Janelle Monae stuck to her signature combination of black and white, adding some flair with a sideswept braid and crop top and pencil skirt pairing from H&M, topped with a dramatic cape. Seems the fast fashion brand is really making its mark for the evening…I’m impressed! Nicholas Kirkwood shoes, a RODO clutch, and jewelry from Jack Vartanian, Carla Amorim, and Le Vian completed Janelle’s ensemble.
China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-common
Common kept it classic in a black tux. A bit more pizzazz would have been fantastic, but when you look like this, your face is really the conversation piece.

Usher played off his injury with a black cane, looking dapper in a double-breasted suit.
China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-miguel-michael-kors

Amal Clooney wore the color of the night in a strapless tiered Maison Martin Margiela Couture gown crafted by John Galliano, while her husband sported a tux with tails. I’m biased: they’re my favorite couple at the moment. Pure class!
China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-cassie-diddy
So many gorgeous couples in attendance. Cassie and Diddy definitely turned a few heads, with Cassie in a white long-sleeve gown with sheer embellished sides.
China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-derek-jeter-hannah-davis
Derek Jeter and Hannah Davis were quite the gorgeous couple, with Hannah in a sultry red J. Mendel gown with cutout and pleated detailing and a thigh-baring slit for good measure.
China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-sofia-vergara

Naomi Campbell brought Lee Daniels as her date, showing she’s still the Queen Bee of fashion in a textured sheer panel custom Burberry gown with a feather hem.

Joan Smalls chose a one-shoulder blue embroidered cutout gown from Roberto Cavalli by Peter Dundas. Hot!

China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-gong-li
The gala’s co-chair, Gong Li, chose a lace and velvet Roberto Cavalli number for the occasion. A bit somber for my taste, but she’s absolutely stunning no matter what she wears.
China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-diane-kruger
Diane Kruger shimmered and sparkled in a strapless embellished top and trousers from Chanel, given a pop of color with a red heart clutch from the brand and red lips. I live for her style!
China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-liya-kebede
Supermodel Liya Kebede also opted for pants in an embellished halter tunic and white trousers from 3.1 Phillip Lim. Another case of some hemming needed, but Liya is as close to perfection as it gets.
China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-anne-hathaway-ralph-lauren
Anne Hathaway was gilded in a gold hooded Ralph Lauren gown. Can you say glamour?
China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-jennifer-lawrence-dior

China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-allison-williams-giambattista-valli
Allison Williams served cake topper couture in a red cap-sleeve Giambattista Valli confection. The bigger, the better at the Met Gala, thus this was a winning look for me.

Elizabeth Banks bought into the night’s cutout trend in a long-sleeve turquoise Michael Kors gown with a plunging neckline.
China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-jessica-chastain
Pinup girl realness was on display, courtesy of Jessica Chastain’s retro-inspired sideswept ‘do and gold sequin Givenchy gown showcasing her bodacious curves. She’s such a pleasure to see on the red carpet.
China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-rosie-huntington-whiteley

Chloe Sevigny is one of the industry’s most eccentric and she lived up to her title in an off-the-shoulder floral gown with a front slit. I liked this!
China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-mary-kate-ashley-olsen
A bit of dark romance and Victorian couture worked their magic in the ensembles of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. My favorite fashionable twins!
China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-karolina-kurkova
Karolina Kurkova flaunted her mile-long stems in a bell-sleeve red satin flare Tommy Hilfiger dress with gold Giuseppe Zanotti snake sandals. This was fun.
China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-dakota-johnson
Dakota Johnson looked ready for a night out in a strapless Chanel mini dress. This was fit for the after party perhaps, but lacked the drama needed for the main event.
China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-cher
Queen Mother Cher has been owning the red carpet for decades and her sequin Marc Jacobs gown was perfect for the night.
China+Through+Looking+Glass+Costume+Institute-julianne-moore
Have you had enough cutouts for the evening? Julianne Moore wore some in a black sculpted bodice gown.
