Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum


Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum

The ticket cost about $5000, but it was worth getting to the Metropolitan Museum for this spectacular star-studded event.

The fans of "Star Wars" were able to see both "Sith" star Hayden Christensen and LOTR’s Elijah Wood.

Ladies must have been going crazy about the number of eligible bachelors such as Wood, Christensen, Jake Gellenhaal, P. Diddy, Ian Somerhalder, Christian Slater, Andre 3000, Liev Schreiber and Jimmy Fallon – they all had no dates with them. Usher came with his girl-friend Eisha Brightwell.

Girls in fabulous dresses such as Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts, Sheryl Crow and the Olsen twins also attended the event.

Jessica Simpson came and left with designer Michael Kors as her boyfriend Nick Lachey didn’t show up at the party. Jessica wore the brilliant band on her wedding ring finger.

The Chanel-sponsored Museum show was also attended by European designers such as Viktor & Rolf, Alber Elbaz, Nicolas Ghesquiere, Miuccia Prada, Hedi Slimane and Olivier Theyskens, who could not ignore the event and crossed the Atlantic to be present there.

The new face of Chanel, charming Nicole Kidman, wore the midnight black couture gown that contrasted with her pale blonde hair.

Among another guests there were editor of American Vogue Anna Wintour with daughter, and of course, Karl Lagerfeld in silver leather driving gloves.

Kevin Costner’s wife Christine Baumgarten arrived in pewter and silver silk by Ralph Lauren; and on Richard Gere's arm was his wife, Carey Lowell, who chose Chanel.

Donatella Versace and her daughter Allegra were both wearing Swarovski crystals. Joely Richardson and Naomi Watts both wore Dior: Richardson in black, embroidered with scarlet silk roses and Watts in pale, eau de Nil flounces.

The great list of famous names included Linda Evangelista in a cobalt blue slink by Tomas Maier at Bottega Veneta; Sophie Dahl wearing vintage Alaia, which was clinging like rubber; Jacquetta Wheeler in Dior; Karen Elson in Yves Saint Laurent; and Karolina Kurkova in Viktor & Rolf's extraordinary "duvet" crinoline, embroidered with the words "I Love You", which became entangled in the Met's doors.
