McQueens for a night: Fashion's finest pay tribute to late designer in ravishing array of gowns at Met Ball

Gisele Bundchen, Salma Hayek and Daphne Guinness were among the stars to choose Alexander McQueen designs, though British labels Burberry and Stella McCartney were also red carpet favourites...


It is the biggest night of the fashion calendar, and with the late, great fashion designer Alexander McQueen as a theme for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute gala ball last night, red carpet expectations were very high.

And the A-listers didn't disappoint. Countless stars including Sarah Jessica Parker and Salma Hayek wore the British designer's creations, proving, with every arrival, that he was not known as a genius for nothing.

The supermodels, naturally, looked superb. Gisele Bundchen wore a showstopping scarlet number from autumn 2005, while Crystal Renn, who sported an impressive geisha-inspired hairdo, wore a black ruffled gown.

Sarah Jessica Parker wore a figure-hugging gold embellished sheath from the same collection as Gisele's, while Daphne Guinness wore a creation made entirely of feathers that was the finale of Sarah Burton's second solo collection for the fashion house earlier this year.

Salma Hayek also wore a current creation, a gold chiffon gown with rose detail from the spring 2011 offering by Sarah Burton.
