On the 2nd of May the annual Costume Institute Gala took place in New York City at the The Metropolitan Museum of Art. It's also known as the Met Ball and it is pretty much the equivalent to the Oscars of fashion. You can check out my best & worst picks from the 2010 Met Ball here!
This year the famous and fashionable attended the Gala to honour the work of the late fashion designer Alexander McQueen. After the Met Ball takes place , the Costume Institute at the Met debuts the "Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty" exhibition from 4 May - 31 July, a complete retrospective of McQueen’s most beautiful and shocking works.
As you know I love checking out which stars rocked the red carpet and which bombed! So here are my best and worst picks of the event! :)
Best
From left to right:
♥ Gwyneth Paltrow exuded major hotness in a shimmering body-hugging gown from Stella McCartney
♥ Brooklyn Decker in Michael Kors. A simple dress but just LOVED the bright pink colour!
♥ Blake Lively in Chanel Haute Couture. She looks very elegant and the dress suits her new hair colour.
♥ Ashley Olsen in black & cream vintage Christian Dior couture. Initially I didn't like this dress at all but it kind of grew on me and now I really like it; it's different but still glamorous and suits her style.
♥ Maggie Gyllenhaal in Stella McCartney. A stunning colour blue and I'm always a big fan of sequins...
From left to right:
♥ Ginnifer Goodwin in a custom made Topshop emerald green cutout dress. I love the fact that this dress is by Topshop. The green looks amazing on her & I think the hair, make up & jewellery suited the look perfectly!
♥ Diane Kruger looks like a true Hollywood star in Jason Wu. So elegant yet also a little sexy.
♥ Emma Roberts in Michael Kors. Simple but very modern & young which suits the 20yr old starlet!
♥ Dianna Agron in Michael Kors. Again quite simple but liked the red, the simple hair & accessories.
♥ Sarah Jessica Parker in a fully beaded Alexander McQueen gown.
Worst
From left to right:
♥ Jennifer Lopez ruined her Gucci gown with flower-embellished sleeves, overcomplicating a beautiful dress!
♥ Serena Williams in Oscar de la Renta. Maybe she got too caught up with the Royal Wedding hype?
♥ Karolina Kurkova in Jean Paul Gaultier. I know lace is hot but this dress just doesn't do it for me!
♥ Kristen Stewart in a Proenza Schouler gown. Boring, unflattering and ill-fitted.
♥ Freida Pinto in Chanel Haute Couture. Is this supposed to be a mix of office fancy dress? Yuck..
♥ Christina Ricci in Zac Posen. Maybe she was trying to reflectt on her Addams Family days?
Christina looks like she got tangled in a massive spider web...
♥ Chloe Sevigny in Proenza Schouler. Bad dress, bad hair, bad everything!
♥ Naomi Campbell in Alexander McQueen couture. It's hard to believe that this disaster dress was designed by the same woman behind Kate Middleton’s to-die-for wedding dress.
♥ Kirsten Dunst in Chanel Haute Couture. Looks like some kind of polish farming girl dress...
♥ Christina Hendricks in Carolina Herrera. Love this girls curves but this is just hideous and unflattering.
So what do you think; do you agree or disagree with my picks? xoxo

Comment on Christina Ricci dress made me laugh! you are completly right! xxx Elle
Oooh loving the Pink Micheal Kors dress! Totally want that xx :o)
Love the pink Michael Kors dress too! I also love the one Diana Agron is wearing - she looks amazing. I definitely agree with all your choices. I think Ashley Olsen may need to re-consider her make-up artist though :/ lol!
My favourite is Ashely Olsens dress. A bit weird, but in the same time gorgeous!
Super Interesting!!!
imho SJP looks quite old in that dress. And tierd. No Sex and the City.
