the Guardian uk puts together such a lovely description in their article that i thought i would use that instead. once you have an understanding see below some of the most beautiful and crazy dresses to date.
"The Met Gala has become the fashion Oscars. It is also the opening night of the annual fashion exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. After last year's emotionally charged blockbuster, a posthumous Alexander McQueen retrospective, the Impossible Conversations: Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada show is a move back into more cerebral, curatorial territory.
The exhibition explores the connections between Schiaparelli and Prada, two Italian women whose design was motivated by a desire to challenge conventional notions of beauty and chic. As befits an exhibition celebrating fashion's awkward squad, the show was controversial before it even opened: Miuccia Prada was sceptical, and made it be known she didn't acknowledge similarities between herself and Schiaparelli. (More recently, however, her attitude has softened, and she has discussed how YSL collections that inspired her were, in turn, inspired by Schiaparelli.)
All of this goes some way to explain why the Met Gala is red-carpet fashion at its most outrageous. This is window dressing for an exhibition with a difference. When Anna Wintour, the ice queen of understated chic, wears a gown with a huge gold lobster embroidered on the skirt, you can be sure an LBD isn't going to cut it. "Here are some of my favs, share with me your favourites too:
