Met Costume Institute Gala 5.3.2010

The Met Costume Institute is one of my favorite events, this is when Hollywood and Fashion come together and rock the red-carpet. The theme of last night's event was "American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity." It was hosted by Gap and of course all the attendees were A-list celebs wearing pieces from top fashion designers. There were many recurring trends on the red-carpet, from silhouettes to gown color.....here are the trends I noticed from last night:
