Hot metal! Stars quite literally shine in futuristic silver gowns at the Met Gala in New York as British celebrities glitter on the red carpet (but it looks like Emma and Rosie didn't get the memo)

It has been called the Oscars of the East Coast. And The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Benefit lived up to its reputation on Monday night as some of the biggest names in music, film, and the runway arrived wearing ornate costumes created by the world's premier fashion designers. 



Co-host of this year's Met Gala, Taylor Swift (third from left), arrived in a futuristic silver mini-dress with a cutaway design; the edgy costume included knee-high leather strappy stilettos and Gothic dark red lip paint. Other stars pulling out all the stops included (from l-r) Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Jourdan Dunn, Emily Ratajkowski, Poppy Delevingne and Rita Ora.
