Met Ball 2014: Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, Rihanna Among A-List Guests For Fashion Fundraiser

Met Ball 2014: Who Wore What?
|

On Monday night, the A-listers were out in force (and brilliantly, even a few Z-listers managed to slip through the net) for the annual Met Ball in New York, undeniably one of the biggest nights in the fashion calendar.

Organised by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, the yearly event raises money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York’s ‘Costume Institute’, though it’s also a brilliant way for us to get to see some of the most famous people in the world parading around in fabulous clothes. So everyone’s a winner, really.

Rihanna, Kim Kardashian and Beyoncé were among the biggest stars on the night

This year’s event was as star-studded as ever and saw the likes of Beyoncé, Rihanna and Kim Kardashian mingling with some of the biggest names in the fashion industry, such as Naomi Campbell, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Cara Delevingne.

It was also great to see some UK representatives at the New York event, with British stars including Rita Ora, Lily Allen and Alexa Chung all showing the American stars how we do it here in Blighty.

Meanwhile, it has to be said that this was the year of the ‘leg-bomb’ with Kim Kardashian, Rita Ora and even the usually demure Emma Stone all flashing their pins in high-slitted dresses, proving that Angelina Jolie’s infamous Oscars dress from 2012 still has a lot to answer for.

But don’t just take our word for it - you can judge the biggest fashion triumphs (and, indeed, the worst fashion flops) of the night for yourself by clicking through our gallery below...
