2009 MET Costume Gala

  Each winter, fashion critics look forward to the BIGGEST fashion event of the year, The Oscars! Apparently, fashion critics don't have to wait till February to critique the hottest names in the game... This Spring we have the Met Costume Gala, a social gathering of the HOTTEST women wearing the HOTTEST fashion.   Each year models, actors and actress meet at New York's Metropolitan Museum to celebrate the Met Costume Gala. Each year there is a theme to abide by; last year's theme was "Superhero" while this year's theme was "The Model As Muse: Embodying Fashion." Today's posts are dedicated exclusively for the attire worn at this year's 2009 Met Costume Gala.
