While most of the country was enjoying a tasty margarita or two for Cinco de Mayo, the who's who in entertainment and fashion graced the red carpet at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York last night for the "Oscars of Fashion." The Met Gala marks the opening of the Costume Institute's fashion exhibition...this year's theme was a tribute to designer Charles James. The color(s) of the evening seemed to be my favorite...Black and White, but there were definitely some AWE and AWFUL moments! Check out some of the fabulous photos and my thoughts below:

THE GLAMOUR 

- Of course Beyonce looked fabulous in this Givenchy gown...serving a little goth couture!

- Rihanna looked gorgeous in this white Stella McCartney look. She's the only one that can make a crop top = couture.

- Charlize Theron looks stunning in Dior!

- LaLa added a pop of color to the carpet in Cushnie et Ochs and killed it...unfortunately I can't say the same for Carmelo!

- Sarah Jessica Parker is back and set the carpet off right in this Oscar de La Renta gown.

THE GAWDY

- We know that the world loves Ms. Lupita Nyong'o, but I think this look is a little much. She looks like a Native American flapper in this Prada get up.

- Rita Ora is giving my Tangled ballerina in Donna Karan Atelier.

THE GROTESQUE 

I'm not even sure what to say about Gabrielle Union and Solange! I love them, but these looks did nothing for their figures. Gabby looks like she did her own makeup for the carpet!
