This year's Met Costume Gala paid tribute to the late designer Alexander McQueen. Some of McQueen's most iconic pieces were on display at the Metropolitan Museum of the Arts during the event, which was the site of McQueen's first graduate show.
The Met Costume Gala is a chance for attendees to dress-up, with guests favouring more daring couture looks than what is usually seen on the red carpet.

SUMMARY
Other than Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney was the most popular designer on the red carpet. There were a lot of nude gowns with detailed embellishments. Guests tended to favour natural make-up with minimal jewellery.
It was hard to pick a favourite among all the stunning outfits. I couldn't separate Eva Mendes, Ginnifer Goodwin (loving both of their vibrant jewelled tones) and Taylor Swift (I loved the dark red lips with her intricate J. Medel dress).
