The Costume Institute's annual gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
in New York City is arguably fashion's biggest night of the year. While
stars gussy themselves up for the Oscars red carpet and let their hair
down for the MTV Video Music Awards, it is at the Met Ball (as the event
is colloquially dubbed) that Hollywood's A-List can showcase their high
fashion know-how.
This year, the Met Gala celebrates the opening of the museum's exhibition
PUNK: Chaos to Couture,
which tracks punk's transformation from a street style to haute
couture. Launch our gallery below to see which stars embraced the punk
theme (*cough*
Miley Cyrus) and who played it safe.

Heidi Klum
Heidi Klum stuns in a white satin gown with a beaded bodice.
Katie Holmes
Katie Holmes skips jewelry in
favor of a flowing white gown with a delicate, built-in necklace collar.
Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian stands out with a bold floral print.
Kirsten Dunst
Kirsten Dunst leaves little to the imagination in her cleave-baring feathered gown.
Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus embraces the punk
theme of the night in a mesh gown and daring spiked hair 'do.
Minka Kelly
Minka Kelly channels another era in a romantic, gothic-inspired lace gown.
Rooney Mara
Rooney Mara's white lace dress
with a plunging neckline is a showstopper, accessorized perfectly with
dark lipstick and a slick updo.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Sarah Jessica Parker didn't
become a fashion icon by playing it safe. She takes a risk in an
elaborate headdress and watercolor print gown.
Solange Knowles
Solange Knowles is retro chic in
a bold print and statement-making earrings. Her brushed out afro gives
the look a laidback '70s vibe that is oh so cool.
Anna Wintour
Anna Wintour, the evening's
host, looks (surprisingly) soft and pretty in a bright, floral gown.
Emma Roberts
Emma Roberts proves you can't go wrong in a little black dress.
Emmy Rossum
Emmy Rossum's smokey cat eye is a striking compliment to her soft, feminine gown.
Hailee Steinfeld
Sixteen-year-old Hailee
Steinfeld is age-appropriate in a sweet, tea-length gown, but edges up
her look with heavy eye makeup and an asymmetrical hairstyle.
Karolina Kurkova
One of the few to choose a
shorter number, Karolina Kurkova shows off her gams in a bold minidress.
Nicole Richie
Nicole Richie spices up a cream
beaded gown with a shock of silver hair. If we didn't know better, we'd
say her look was inspired by Hades as seen in Disney's Hercules.
