Anna Wintour at the 2011 Met Gala

Ah! My favorite night of the year. For the fashion obsessed, the Met Gala is three times the importance of the Oscars. The gowns are more exciting and rather than being a black tie event — it is time to show off and prove style aptitude. I’m pretty surprised that the host of the night did not opt for a McQueen gown considering the gala is honoring the dead genius. Wintour is wearing a modified version of this couture gown and I think she looks stunning. Her version with the long black sequin sleeves is amazing, I prefer it to the runway version because it ties the entire dress together with the black along the bottom. A great way to start off the night!
