THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART'S Spring 2010 COSTUME INSTITUTE Benefit Gala, sponsored by GAP and CONDE NAST, Hosted by Co-chairs PATRICK ROBINSON, ANNA WINTOUR and OPRAH WINFREY

American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity
Taking place once a year, one of my absolute favorite event needs no introduction, but heres one anyway. The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume National Benefit, always brings out the best of the best in models celebs and socials and displays the most beautiful crafted most creative and intricate of designer textile dreams. Infusing 1800 Chicago world fair charm, and modern glamour, this event was nothing short of magical. From the A-list host to the renowned glitterati to my favorite little monster Gaga performing, fashion was everywhere to be found. While champagne-y nude colored gowns and gold embellishments seemed to be most popular no one trend was better than the next. They ranged from deep jewel tone plums and berries, floral prints, navy and tons of tool. Keeping it subtle in the bling department, there wasn't an abundance of neck candy however, for those who opted for extra sparkle, adorned gems form designers such as, Cartier, Fred Leighton, David Yurman, Harry Winston and Lorraine Schwartz just to name a few. Listed below are my ABSOLUTE top picks of the night in no particular order.
