The 2012 Met Gala

This year's 2012 Met Gala was nothing but breathtaking.  Celebrities adorned in luxury garments all gathered to celebrate the wonder form of art we call FASHION.  I loved the haute couture designs, vibrant colors, different textures, exposed backs, and sheerness of the gowns.  And the accessories, oh they added such glam to the looks.  From clutches to sky towering stilettos; and from headwear and elaborate jewelry, most of the looks served me.  I would read some of the worst dressed but I'm not going to even take out my reading glasses (giggles).  The Best Dressed to me was Rooney Mara in a Givenchy Haute Couture dress(last pic at the bottom).  I also lived in Sarah Jessica Parker's floral Valentino gown, just stunning!  Below are some of my favs from the night!
