It's a celebration of fashion at its most extravagant, and when it came to hot metal looks the British stars were leading the looks at this year's Met Gala 2016.
Opting
for a softer taking on the Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of
Technology theme, Rita Ora wore feathers and proved that the detail was
all in the cut of her eccentric gown.
But
Sienna Miller, Emma Watson and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley seemed to
share the idea that Monday night was about all that glitters for the
annual Metropolitan Museum of Art occasion.

ya light: Rita Ora lead the British army in a feathered gown at the Met

Rita's
was by far the most extravagant look. A long train followed her up the
long stairway to into the venue but the view was slightly upstaged by
sheer cutaway panels that revealed her curvy silhouette.
She
did have some trouble with the stairs, even so, but laughed off the
awkward moment that she tripped on the end of her heavy feathered frock
in front of the cameras.
Emma Watson was showing up her contemporaries in yet another show-stopping gown.
Show-stopper: Emma looked exquisite in a monochrome ensemble that featured a long train, trousers and a bodice
Unusual but on-point: The brunette wore her hair up to expose her shoulders and she didn't have any jewellery on
And
while it wasn't her go-to dress over trousers look, it was something
altogether more fashion-forward and featured a long caped train, a
Bardot-style bodice and a skirt.
The
Harry Potter actress plumped for a monochrome palette and wore her hair
up in a low chignon to leave her shoulders bare, without any
accessories.
Similarly,
Alexa Chung took a whole other spin on the fashion concept altogether
and she played around with masculine tailoring, giving a trouser suit a
feminine edge with sequins.
Watch your step! The beauty had some trouble getting up the steps in her stair-sweeping dress
Watch the dress: She had an aide on hand to make sure her dress was in perfect shape
Putting her own stamp on things: TV beauty Alexa Chung put her stamp on the dress code with a sequinned suit
It
was a particularly impressive style move for the television presenter
turned fashionista as she shunned the red carpet dress code in something
worthy of applauds.
Conversely,
actresses Sienna Miller and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley played it safe in
gorgeous gowns, which served to accentuate their flawless figures in
front of the cameras.

Delevingne's sister Poppy showed off her sartorial flair to the fullest
as she smouldered in a plunging silver tiered gown and a vampy dark
pout at the Met Gala in New York on Monday night.

tantalizing amount of cleavage in the showstopping semi-sheer number.
Leaning
forward, the sister of supermodel Cara Delevingne, 23, risked a serious
wardrobe malfunction as she went braless in the number at the event.
The
statuesque beauty flaunted her svelte physique to perfection in the
figure-hugging embellished gown that featured sheer side panels to cinch
in her tiny waist.
Oozing in opulent gemstones, the garment had a '20s feel thanks to the tiered fringing along the hemline.

Wearing
her golden tresses in a sleek poker straight style that cascaded past
her shoulders, she opted for a side-parting that effortlessly framed her
heart-shaped face.
She outlined her full pout with a dark red lipstick and highlighted her peepers with a dramatic smokey eyeshadow.
Paying close attention to detail, she carried a vintage clutch bag in her hand which matched her look perfectly.
She also flashed a hint of her silver strappy sandals which hid behind the fringed panels of her dress.

Anna took over as chairwoman of the gala in 1999.
Since then, she has been instrumental in transforming a local philanthropic event into a massive event.
It
has been called the Oscars of the East Coast. The honorary chairs are
the Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld; Miuccia Prada; and Nicolas
Ghesquière, Louis Vuitton’s artistic director.
All
will be in attendance except for Mr. Lagerfeld, who will be in Cuba
because the Chanel Cruise show is in Havana the day after the gala,
according to the New York Times.

stubble.
