Move over Oscars, when it comes to extraordinary dresses, nothing beats the annual Met Gala. Don't freak out or anything, this just happens to be the biggest night for every fashion fanatic. The soiree's theme? Punk couture!
From Miley Cyrus' mesh to Anne Hathaway's shocking makeover, this year did not disappoint. See all the decadently fabulous looks right here.
If this doesn't call for an OMG, we don't know what does. Anne Hathaway in Vintage Valentino, bleached her hair blonde for the ball and showed off major side-boob in a sheer black beaded gown with feathered cuffs. Cher would approve.
Our favorite street styler, Miranda Kerr, brought her skills to the red carpet in this striking Michael Kors gown. Sorta reminded us of a '90s monokini—in the coolest way imaginable, of course.
Katy Perry wore a crown to the Met Gala. And for this, we love her. She's in Dolce & Gabbana.
Oh Rooney Mara, you never let us down. The gothic beauty showed up in Givenchy Couture, wearing a white embroidered fishtail dress with a zippered waist and center front. A porcelain complexion and burgundy lips finished things off in her signature fashion.
We were floored by Katie Holmes' gorgeous all-white Calvin Klein look. The elegant silhouette had a gorgeous backless design and long Elvira train. Amazing, right?
Miley Cyrus, in Marc Jacobs, was the perfect candidate for the theme, spiking her short bleached locks and rocking a long-sleeve mesh gown once worn by Kate Moss. Punk perfection.
It's been too long since Blake Lively has made a red carpet appearance! And this gray and black Gucci gown made for a phenomenal come-back look.
Kim Kardashian fearlessly strutted the Met red carpet in this head-to-toe floral gown. A sleek ponytail and berry lip color completed her look. Meanwhile, Kanye West balanced the print with a simple suit.
Jennifer Lopez's faux hawk was nothing short of epic! And her spotted Michael Kors gown was equally mesmerizing. Ladies and gentlemen, JLo is in the house.
Amanda Seyfried donned a long trained gown in a dramatic print. Dangling earrings, a slicked-back 'do, and flawless cateyes made for a standout beauty look.
Whether she's the most beautiful woman in the world or the most hated, Gwyneth Paltrow knows how to dress to impress. A hot pink evening dress with a sheer strip made for a standout dress choice.
Taylor Swift can't quit sheer cutouts! Here she wore a black gown with unique bodice paneling and a bejeweled neckline and shoulders.
Kerry Washington did the unthinkable—she made Vera Wang punk. The gorgeous actress showed up in a satin floral number with lace peplums and bicep-length gloves. We really could have done without that monstrous train, though.
Even Gisele Bundchen's posing was inspired by the evening's punk theme! A black mini with gold eyelets showed off her perfect legs and awesomely lethal heels.
Who would have thought melding Jessica Alba's style with Tory Burch's aesthetic would create this lacy-leather design?
Leave it to Solange Knowles to wear a dizzying print in an electric hue on an asymmetrical silhouette. It's totally her thing. This look was stunning, and so very Solange.
Yes! Thank you, Sarah Jessica Parker, it's fashion moments like this we live for. The actress rocked a mohawk and gorgeous ball gown for the glamorous occasion.
Mary-Kate Olsen joined her twin on the red carpet. As per usual, she chose to be layered in extreme amounts of heavy fabrics, this time a yellow silk robe with fur trim.
We were dying to see what Karolina Kurkova would wear to tonight's event! While it doesn't quite match the drama of last year's sequined turban, whe looked ultra-fierce in Mary Katrantzou's patterned dress and a dark smoky eye.
Could this be the most "normal" evening look we've ever seen on Nicki Minaj? You be the judge.
Christina Ricci dressed her petite figure in one of Vivienne Westwood's signature bustier dresses. The tartan print was perfection. A red lip and shiny side-swept curls made for a lovely finish.
Ashley Olsen isn't one to miss the Met Gala. For the annual fete, she wore a long-sleeve orange beaded dress with a sheer robe-like overlay. Fascinating.
Wait, didn't Ivanka Trump like just have a baby? She looked totally modelesque in a long green skirt with a hip-high slit and stacks of chunky gold spiked jewelry.
Remember Anja Rubik's hip-slip last year? Well, she came a bit more covered up this season in a red leather number with a gold washer hem and coordinating lips.
Anna Wintour was themed for spring in a floral Chanel column dress with cap sleeves. This might be our favorite look of the editor's to date! Her bob, of course, was in full force.
Amare Stoudemire and his wife were one of the first to be spotted on the red carpet. He in an iridescent blazer and sneakers, she in a black feather-adorned maternity gown.
