Greetings Fashion Mavens,
So last night was the highly anticipated 2010 Met Costume Institute Gala in NYC. Now, to give you a little background, the Metropolitan Museum's annual gala is like homecoming for fashion lovers. The museum partnered with Vogue and Gap this year and opened their exhibit "American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity".
Some of the styles were very interesting and some fell flat. Personally, I wasn't overwhelmed by stunning gowns this year, which is NOT a good thing. Regardless, I do have some beloved garments that I've posted below. Enjoy!

Alessandra Ambrosia poses for the cameras in her creatively styled gown by Versace. I like the side cut out and the shimmery fabric brings the blush color to life.

Jessica Alba's old Hollywood glam style gets a nod in my book. She's rocking a Sophie Theallet dress for Gap

Blake Lively looks great in this minidress by famed designers Marchesa. Her legs go on for miles in this beautifully crafted number. I seriously need that gown in my life.

Kerry Washington is by far my favorite look of the night. She's just stunning in this Thakoon for Gap design. I absolutely LOVE the draping and "in your face" bold, red color!
