As the day faded into night, New York’s biggest and brightest stars gathered at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday for the annual Costume Institute gala—the pinnacle fashion event of the season. From sultry leg slits to dramatic trains, there was no shortage of drama at this year’s “White Tie & Decorations” themed event. While some of the gowns took our breath away, others left us with raised eyebrows. Let’s take a look!
