The MET Gala is one of the biggest nights in fashion; a gathering of some of the industry’s most celebrated designers and style icons at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. This year, celebrating the great Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada, fashion’s movers and shakers raised the chic meter up to the max. There was lots of metallic, with a few statement pops of color, as well as white and cream.

Here are some of our red carpet favorites, at the 2012 MET Gala:

Anna Wintour aptly wore white Prada with a luscious fur caplet. Ashley Greene was also in white, in a cascading Donna Karan Atelier gown.

Cameron Diaz glowed in gold by Stella McCartney, while Cate Blanchett went dark and mysterious in an Alexander McQueen feathered gown.

Carey Mulligan went for a gold and silver scale-like Prada number. Gisele Bündchen brought sophisticated sexy in Givenchy and Gwyneth Paltrow went short in silver Prada. January Jones was statuesque in a custom yellow Versace gown with gold mirror details.

Jessica Alba shimmered in a gold gown by Michael Kors, while Jessica Stam was regal in Dior, also bringing a fierce wrist game to the red carpet

Lana Del Rey donned an incredible Altuzarra gown, with black floor length cape. Nina Dobrev stopped traffic on the red carpet with the train of her Donna Karan Atelier gown.

Karolina Kurkova was a vision in a rose gold Rachel Zoe gown, accompanying super-stylist and designer Rachel Zoe, who went for off the shoulder white fringe. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley earned her stripes in Burberry and Sarah Jessica Parker took a risk with vintage Valentino, but bloomed in front of the camera in the floral print.

Bold in yellow, Solange Knowles rocked a Rachel Roy peplum gown.
