Tonight the Super Bowl of Style, the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Costume Institute Gala, took place in NYC. And this year’s honoree was British-born designer Charles James, who changed the face of American fashion in the 20th century. He served as inspiration to fellow designers such as Balenciaga and Dior, and was known for his sexy and refined silhouettes. Which is why we saw so many long trains, large ball gowns, luxurious fabrics and long leg slits tonight. He had a thing for a woman’s beauty and her body and knew how to play it up, much to the adoration of his fans. So here are my top 10 best dressed from tonight’s Met Gala. Who was your favorite?
