Met Costume Gala – Red Carpet 2012
To many in the fashion world, as well as myself, the annual Met Costume Gala is the most fashionable and most anticipated red carpet of the year. Elsa Schiaparelli along with Miuccia Prada were honored at this year’s prestigious fashion event appropriately titled “Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations.”
With pops of Schiaparelli’s most coveted color – pink – showing up in so many of the celebrities and muses (Coco Rocha’s hair and ensemble, Sarah Jessica Parker’s Valentino full-coverage dress, and Karlie Kloss’s Jason Wu gown), the evening was abuzz with energy on this sumptuous May evening in New York City.
Anna Wintour arrived first, donning an updated Prada design of Elsa Schiaparelli's famously known lobster dress (the first time Wintour hasn’t worn Chanel to the Met Gala in six years). With Wintour’s arrival, the flood gates were opened and the designers, accompanied by their muses, as well as musicians, actors, models and celebrities and all in total just over 800 invited guests made their way up the lengthy red staircase to view this year’s exhibit.

Fun....but Leah Michelle? Huh, so dont' get it or her taste in clothes give her immense resources. And Jessica Biehl another big miss in my book, other than that..super glamorous and what fun to see!
I love scarlett johansson's dress, she looks stunning!
Thanks for sharing - a lot of lovely gowns. Coming from a sewing background, I will just (dare) to comment that the hem on Jessica Biel's dress could have been done better. Yikes, there I said it.
