The annual Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala Benefit took place last night, and I'll bet you, dear readers, were the first to check out the all the awesome clothes! I personally was most interested in Lady Gaga's ensemble. As you know, I have a strange fascination with Lady Gaga. I'm not saying I like her, but I do admire her abilities to write songs that won't EVER leave my brain. Like Telephone. Make it stop!!!! So what did she wear? Next to nothing, as usual, but it sparkled! Who designed it??

The Met Costume Gala was co-chaired by Oprah and Anna Wintour. Powerful women abounded. Fitting hosts for the theme: a tribute to American Women. (Although Anna is British... Well whatever. Details details.)

Everyone loves Kristen Stewart, but Katy Perry turned out to be the breakout belle-of-the-ball, wearing a LED light-up gown by London-based CuteCircuit, here [UK Daily Mail images].
