The most glamorous event in the fashion calendar, The Met Gala was held at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art this week, and the glitterati were out in full force and dressed to impress!
The ball, hosted by American Vogue editor Anna Wintour, celebrated the opening of The Met’s new show ‘Charles James: Beyond Fashion’ dedicated to the work of the late British couturier.
This year’s theme – ‘White Tie & Decorations’ saw a return to the classic elegance of years gone by, and the red carpet simply sparkled with spectacular floor length gowns.
We loved the stunning actress Lake Bell’s show stopping maternity gown in shocking red, and as for the rest – we’ve sorted through the best of the bunch to bring you our top 3 colour trends for red carpet style this season:
Belles of the Ball in Blue
We spotted gowns in every conceivable shade of blue this year, from Zooey Deschannel’s Tommy Hilfiger number in navy, to Diane Kruger’s delicate powder blue Jason Wu and Kim Kardashian’s show stopping split-to-the-hip Lanvin gown in midnight blue!

Meanwhile British model Suki Waterhouse dazzled in a fabulously frothy Burberry gown in gradated shades of blush and nude.
