For those who are not aware, the Met Ball, formally known as the Costume Institute Gala, is a star-studded event attended by celebrities donning some of the most eccentric and modern evening wear. The affair is considered to be one of the biggest fundraising events in New York as record-breaking amounts are raised for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. As an exclusive opener for the institute’s annual exhibit, personalities from fashion, music, film, and the arts dress as walking fashion exhibits to embrace what the Costume Institute is known for. At this year’s ball, the red carpet was graced by stars including Lupita Nyong’o, Kim Kardashian, and Taylor Swift as each were expected to capture the featured exhibition, “Charles James: Beyond Fashion.” Many of the guests wore extravagent ballgowns and high society type accessories, however many took the very strict dress code and reinterpreted it in their own way. Check out some interesting looks from the 2014 Met Ball.
