Kate Beckinsale at the Costume Institute Gala

There were so many beautiful dresses the night of the Costume Institute Gala that it’s hard to pick just one favorite. I’ve been going through the looks over and over again — so refreshing to see so many nice looks for once (I was completely disappointed by the Oscars and all the other recent award ceremony fashions). It was a close call between Jessica Biel in Versace, Kate Moss in Marc Jacobs — obsessed with her gold turban –I have a sneaking suspicion that we’ll soon be seeing a turban trend and Kate Beckinsale in Marchesa. In the end I’ve settled on Beckinsale’s Marchesa as my favorite. The embroidered midnight blue gown is absolutely dreamy and I love all the ruffles. Growing-up I always imagined myself getting married in an opulent Vera Wang gown (how original I know…), but since Marchesa came along I hope that whenever I do get married it will be in one of their dresses — perhaps even an off-white version of this number!? What was your favorite Met Ball look?
