The Met Gala 2013

The annual 'Costume Institute Met Gala' took place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City last night. Each year the gala marks the start of a new fashion exhibition at the museum, and is one of the biggest events in the fashion calendar alongside the Academy Awards. This year's exhibition is 'Punk: Chaos to Couture', which runs from May 9th - August 14th. As a fan of this museum and with a clear interest in fashion myself, I thought I would pick out some of my favourite red carpet looks from this event. Whilst there were many stunning dresses gracing the red carpet, I wish that more guests had embraced the 'Punk' theme.

 Miley Cyrus - Marc Jacobs - she fully embraced the spirit of punk with hair, make up and dress

Gisele Bundchen - Anthony Vaccarello Fall 13 - Metal eyelets work so well

Christina Ricci - Vivienne Westwood... the queen of punk

Lily Cole - Vivienne Westwood

Kate Bosworth - Balmain Fall 13

Morgan Saylor - Holly Fulton Fall 13 - the Homeland actress wore one of my favourite dresses from London Fashion Week

Dakota and Elle Fanning - Rodarte Fall 13 - The sisters have worn several Rodarte looks in the past

Kate and Rooney Mara - Delpozo and Givenchy

Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen - Vintage Dior and Vintage Chanel

Sienna Miller - Burberry - Studded leather jacket ...a Burberry classic

Anne Hathaway - Valentino - the Academy Award winner opted to wear her favourite brand

Brooklyn Decker - Peter Pilotto Fall 13

Haliee Steinfeld - Donna Karan Atelier - this dress is leather with safety pin floral bursts

Cameron Diaz - Stella McCartney - looking very regal

Jessica Biel - Giambattista Valli - Spring 13 Couture

Carine Roitfeld - Givenchy - she kept her look fun with the Givenchy Bambi print

Alexa Chung - Erdem Fall 13 - As a member of the British Fashion Council, Alexa wore a Brit designer

Jennifer Lawrence and Marion Cotillard - Christian Dior - No surprise that they both wore Dior as they are faces of the brand. Both looked flawless.
