Met Gala Through the Looking Glass

Last night was the annual Met Gala fundraiser for The Metropolitan Museum of Art on Fifth Avenue in New York. This year's theme was China Through the Looking Glass. The new exhibit features fashion and art from China from the 1700's to the present. It will open to the general public this Thursday. The VIP guests of the gala got to have the first look of the exhibit.

Here are my picks for the best dressed of the event. George Clooney's better half, Amal, looked radiant in her red John Galliano tiered ruffled gown with a sequin bodice.

Empire star Taraji P Henson looked classy in her strapless Alexander Wang black and white beaded floral dress. The designer was also her escort for the evening.

Leave it to Sarah Jessica Parker to go all out with her Chinese inspired fire head piece designed by Philip Treacy. Her black one shoulder dress was designed by H&M.

I absolutely loved Jennifer Lopez's sheer gown by Versace. Did you notice the beaded fire breathing Chinese dragon that starts at the bodice, drapes down, and around the back of the dress?

But everybody knows that Rihanna has a way of grabbing all the attention when she shows up and shows out. Last night, she wore a bright yellow Guo Pei fur trimmed embroidered cape with a train long enough that she needed three people to assist her.

See who made my list of best dress at last year's gala here.
