The year's biggest fashion event

Four words: Met Costume Institute Gala. Arguably the fashion event of the year. The only event that comes close is the Oscars, and I find this one much more interesting. The ensembles at the Oscars are just so boring... everyone wants to make the best dressed lists and no one takes any risks.

Some highlights...

I love Coco Rocha. This goddess-like Isaac Misrahi gold lame piece perfectly highlights her fiery hair and her obvious feist.

Sasha Pivovarova in Giambattista Valli

Leighton Meester in Louis Vuitton. On its own this outfit is actually not very attractive, but Leighton gets huge points for taking a risk.

Lake Bell wears this Rag & Bone suit.

Katy Perry could pass for a Roman goddess in this Tommy Hilfiger.

One of my red carpet favourites, Marion Cotillard in Dior.

Ivanka Trump looks like cotton candy in this light, feathery Brian Reyes

Gisele shimmers in this royal blue Versace
Daria Werbowy in Balmain

Kate Bosworth channels old-world glamour in Stella McCartney
Blake Lively shows that she is a true fashion icon, in this aqua Versace.
Though I am team Juila Restoin-Roitfeld all the way, Bea Shaffer looks divine in Nina Ricci.

Ashley Olsen, in an Elizabeth & James backless gown, poses with Diane Kruger, in Chanel.
Ali Stephens isn't exactly a household name, but she dazzles in Narciso Rodriguez.
