Met Gala 2012

The Met Gala always manages to bring the best looking celebrities wearing the finest gowns. To the East Side, this is Fashion Oscars. From models (Jessica Stam in Dior) to musicians (Lana Del Rey in custom Altuzarra), everyone looked stunning. Although some looks stood out more than others (I will never forget my own reaction to Cameron Silver with his cane that featured a blowfish!) the red carpet had many looks that I could only dream of acquiring in my wardrobe someday. Here are some of my favorites:

Lana Del Rey, in Altuzarra

Florence Welch, in Alexander McQueen

Dakota Fanning, in Louis Vuitton

January Jones, in Atelier Versace

Marc Jacobs, "I didn't want to wear a tuxedo and be boring"

Coco Rocha, in vintage Givenchy

Hailee Steinfeld, in Prada

Karlie Kloss, in Jason Wu

Lily Collins, in Valentino

Arizona Muse, in Erdem

Jessica Chastain, in Louis Vuitton

Stella McCartney and M.I.A, both in Stella McCartney

Jessica Stam, in Dior (my personal favorite of the night!)

On a final note, I will be attending the Schiaparelli/Prada exhibit next week during my trip to New York City. Since I couldn't see the McQueen exhibit, this will make up for it 100%. Seeing the designs in front of my own eyes (although in glass cases, or I would probably make a break for the exit with a gown or two!) I will come back inspired and hopefully with many photos of the exhibit.
