The Make up

Rimmed eyes

Claire Danes and Liv Tyler looked amazing with their sexy heavily rimmed eyes.

Bare it all

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen bare it to the gala in almost no hues of any colour except nude boring skin tones that make them look worse than without any make up at all.

Shadowy eyes

Eva Longoria and Zhang Ziyi proved that a even a tad of metallic purple smoked around the eyes can turn out so fab!

Colour Overdose

Katie Holmes managed to run a rainbow as she attended the gala. But we must admit she did it with class!

Red Lips

Truly the hollywood style, Victoria Beckham, Dita Von Teese and Scarlett Johansson glammed it up with black liquid liner and luxurious red lips.

Playing it it safe

Christina Ricci, Beyonce and  Hilary Duff managed to play it safe with black liquid eyeliner with a touch of white and silver eyeshadow and contour to highlight their looks.

Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala in New York City

Thandie Newton acted as a naugthy vi lain at the Gala. On a night dedicated to Superheroes: Fashion And Fantasy, the British beauty was more than happy to play the role of a bad girl Thandie and her quirky fashion sense channeled her inner va-va-va-voom wearing a black lace dress and cape from the Chanel Fall/Winter 2008/09 Collection.

Her Dentelle de Camelia diamond cuff was also courtesy of the fine people at Chanel.

Hilary Duff, joined by her hockey player beau Mike Comrie, dazzled on the red. She showed off her lovely curves in a sparkly strapless gown by celebrity fave Ellie Saab.

The young and sweet fashionista, managed to turn many many heads and posibly turn L.Lo's head round 360 degrees.Haahahaha....

All eyes wery literaly on Mischa Barton as she attended the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum in New York City on Monday. The failed actress and druggie hit a massive fashion sour note in a what seemed to be an oversized Missoni tafefta dress accented with voluminous ruffled shoulders and a jeweled boddice.

I wouldn't be found dead in this!!

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes add a massive splash of colour as they hit the red carpet at the Costume Institute Gala. I just think she overdid it. Katie is not a one that wears such daring colours, not to mention to match together!

Katie wore a vintage red sequined beaded bustier and a full ball gown tiered skirt with ribbon trim on the edges from the Fall 1993 Giorgio Armani collection (the shoes are Louboutins).

She accessorized with a beautiful long gold multi strand necklace, a wide gold bangle on her left wrist and a gold box clutch.

Cruise donned a Giorgio Armani Hand Made-to-Measure midnight blue two-button microfiber tuxedo with midnight blue velvet trim detail on the shawl collar. Tom jazzed things up by rocking a midnight blue vest, a cream silk shirt and cream diagonal striped necktie.Hmm....

Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen looked very different one apart as they attended the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum.

Ashley looked effortlessly stunning and fresh-faced in a simple black number with sexy cut-outs, while her allegedly more fahsion forward sister looked like a Gaelic street banshee in a way-too-gold gown.

Both dresses were custom designed by legendary designer Diane von Furstenberg.

Yummm!!!

Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady are hands down the night’s sexiest couple at tonight’s Costume Institute Gala in New York City.

The fiercely photogenic couple was dripping sex in head to toe Versace.Have mercy!!

Karl Lagerfeld joined by style maven Kate Bosworth did not fail to impress as she arrived to the Costume Institute Gala in New York City on Monday.

Kate opted to wear every colour in the rainbow matched with electric blue eyeshadow! Miaauuwww....., rocking a vintage sequin embroidered dress from Chanel Couture.

Lovely!!

Eva Longoria abandonned her man at home for an amazing masterpiece of cotour. The ruffled, full-skirted aubergine Marchesa gown flew so elegantly.

Staying in tune with the night’s Superheroes: Fashion And Fantasy theme, Anna Wintour donned a grey embroidered dress specially made by Karl Lagerfeld .. Hmm.... A bit too over the top maybe!

Beyonce looked soft compared to her bling bling plus sequined self. its good for a change!! She charmed us in a pale pink silk organza strapless created from Giorgio Armani Privé.

Christina Ricci looked so yummy and sweet in a cotton candy pink Givenchy gown at the Costume Institute Gala.

The Speed Racer star was one of the few A-list attendees who actually kept the night’s theme (Superheroes: Fashion And Fantasy) in mind when she selected her eye-catching dress.

So who deserves to win???
Hands down I pick Kate Bosworth. She looked amazing..

Tho I did like Eva's dress, but what the hell did it have to do with Superheroes?!?!

P.S. I wonder where Gwyneth was.. Huuuhuhu....
