The Met Ball

The biggest names from the worlds of music, film and fashion were out in force for what has to be the most glamorous night of the year - the Costume Institute Gala, otherwise know as the Met Ball. This year the event celebrated the opening of a new exhibition at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art entitled 'Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty'. Many of the stars, including Naomi Campbell, Chloe Sevigny, Gisele Bundchen and Sarah Jessica Parker, paid homage to the late designer by wearing his designs on the night.
