Met Gala Extravaganza

The red carpet at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art flooded with elites of the fashion, arts and entertainment world Monday night for one of the most sought-out social events of the year – the Met Gala. This year’s theme: to honor the works of Charles James, “America’s First Couturier”, for his lavishly heavy gowns and highly structured aesthetic.

Each year I tune in to see which dress I may be able to replicate and each year I fail, epic-ly, since at the moment, I do not have a ton of gold sitting around in my house. However this year, I almost fell off my chair and let out a scream at the look which I’m going to save it for last…because it is REALLY that best!

But…in the meantime, let’s enjoy some met-gala-eye-candy…
