The 2012 Met Costume Institute Gala

One of my absolute favourite red carpet events is the annual Met Costume Institute Gala, held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This year's gala celebrated Prada and Elsa Schiaparelli, who together comprised the Costume Institute's new exhibition "Impossible Conversations."

Here are some of my favourite looks of the night, in no order.

Anna Wintour in Prada and Bee Schaffer in Erdem

Nina Dobrev in Donna Karan Atelier

Victoria Justice in McQueen

Kristen Stewart in Balenciaga (not a fan of the shoes, though)

Julianne Hough in Carolina Herrera

Scarlett Johansson in Dolce and Gabbana 

Dianna Agron in Carolina Herrera

January Jones in Versace

Emma Stone in Lanvin

Jessica Alba in Micheal Kors

Sofia Vergara in Marchesa

Karolina Kurkova in Rachel Zoe

Solange Knowles in Rachel Roy

The Met Costume Institute Gala is without a doubt my most favourite red carpet event ever. I remember looking through the photos for the first time back when I was about 11 or 12 and just being amazed. I hope to one day attend the gala and walk the red carpet in an amazing dress by an amazing designer.
