2012 Met Gala Red Carpet Fashion

Beyonce Knowles stunned on the red carpet at the 2012 Met Gala held in New York on Monday evening.I can only imagine the crowd’s reaction when Bey stepped on the red carpet showing off her post-baby body in a revealing Givenchy couture gown.The showstopping look left little to the imagination with a sheer bodysuit covered in black lace and crystal embellishments, cascading into a skirt of black and purple feathers.In contrast to the extreme dress, Beyonce let her natural beauty shine with barely-there makeup and a sleek ponytail.

I was surprised at how Rihanna’s look was so subdued on the red carpet at the 2012 Met Gala, held in New York on Monday evening. I was expecting an over-the-top look with a ridiculous hairstyle.But I was wrong.The singer donned a sleek Tom Ford Fall 2012 backless crocodile dress which fit her like a glove.Her long sleeve dress was teamed with some dangerous dark coloured talons and a dark nude lip colour.

Hilary Swank joined a host of stars on the red carpet at the 2012 Met Gala, held on Monday night in New York City.Looking amazing, as always, the actress wore a Michael Kors gown.

Her custom scarlett-chiffon tie-neck cascade gown was styled with a Michael Kors gold python barrel clutch and Michael Kors gold snake chain ankle-wrap stiletto sandals.

I love everything about this look; Hilary never lets me down and this stunner very much tells the story why. She’s never afraid of going big and bold.

Scarlett Johansson glided down the red carpet at the 2012 Met Gala held in New York City on Monday evening.The actress from ‘The Avengers’ wore a Dolce & Gabbana gown.Her nude off-shouldered gown decorated with crystal establishments and gold embroidery had a beautiful tulle skirt.A wavy hairstyle, diamond jewels and a coral lip colour completed her look.

Solange Knowles joined her big sister Beyonce on the red carpet at the 2012 Met Gala, held in New York City on Monday night. Typically one for the dramatics, Solange kept her look relatively simple in a gorgeous canary-yellow Rachel Roy dress with peplum detailing.Walking the red carpet alongside the designer, Solange accessorized the strapless gown with a silver-and-gold Edie Parker ‘Flavia’ clutch, Sergio Rossi heels and her signature fro. I love this look on Solange. It may be simple, but she still completely stands out in a non-attention-grabbing way, putting her older sister in her shade.
