Sarah Jessica Parker / Oscar de la Renta The 2014 Met Gala is one of my favorite events of the year. Of course, if I'd be invited it would be my very favorite event, ever. So for now, red carpet photos will have to suffice. This year's theme was a tribute to legendary, American couturier Charles James. His tastes went 'beyond fashion.' Guests were encouraged to experiment with major color and decoration. Few really got it, some took it too literal. Either way, it's one of the most glamorous nights of the year.

Take a look:

Anna Wintour / Chanel

Lupita Nyong'o / Prada Lupita has been on the best dressed list for a solid year. We can overlook a mishap, right?

Amy Adams / Oscar de la Renta

Anne Hathaway / Calvin Klein

If the theme had been minimalism, Anne would've nailed it!

Dita Von Teese / Zac Posen

Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds / Gucci

Head-to-toe perfection.

Emma Stone / Thakoon & Andrew Garfiled / Band of Outsiders

Jay-Z & Beyonce / Givenchy

Florence Welch / Valentino

Lena Dunham / Giambattista Valli

Maggie Gyllenhaal / Valentino

I love this. From the neck up.

Jessica Lange / Marc Jacobs & Marc Jacobs / Saint Laurent

Ashley & Mary-Kate Olsen / Vintage Chanel

Would Middle-earth hurry up and swallow the twins.

Naomi Watts / Givenchy

Kim Kardashian & Kanye West / Lanvin

Well, lookey who got an invite this year. They look gorgeous, though I wish Kanye had worn a bow tie.

Kristen Stewart / Chanel

Marion Cotillard / Dior

French snob wore a cocktail dress to a ball.

Rihanna / Stella McCartney

Flawless!

Neil Patrick Harris & David Burtka / Thom Browne

I am so torn and confused and upset. [You know] I LOVE all things Thom Browne BUT you never wear him runway style AND Neil, you're too OLD to pull this look off. Do you realize that your boyfriend looks like a harlequin?

Sarah Silverman / Zac Posen
