Red Hot American Woman

At this year's highly anticipated and publicized The Met's Costume Institute Gala—with this year's theme celebrating the American Woman, a lot of the red-carpet fashions were elegant and understated just tipping the edge of downright boring. But a lot of the starlets went for glam, quirky and head-turning outfits.

Amist a sea of gowns, Alexa Chung channeled a latter-day Diane Keaton with her menswear-inspired tuxedo by Phillip Lim.

Kate Bosworth in soft-bedroom dressing by Valentino perfectly complemented her old Hollywood coif.
