Costume Institute Celebrates Poiret

Fashion Wire Daily - Everything from the champagne to the frocks was free-flowing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's annual Costume Institute gala Monday night. With the help of their designer friends, a bevy of celebrity beauties donned their most exquisite to walk the red carpet in honor of Paul Poiret and his designs as the "King of Fashion."

Lindsay Lohan looked particularly fetching and calm in a floor length black Bally gown accompanied by designer Brian Atwood. But not one to leave her party girl persona at home, the bust of Lohan's dress was covered in a barely-there gossamer material that left little to the imagination. Although deemed one of the most glamorous events of the season, there were quite a few red carpet fixtures that followed suit in eye-popping looks.

John Mayer but accompanied by designer Roberto Cavalli, wore a skin tight, shiny number by her designer date that showed plenty of her assets.  Julianne Moore, who strolled down the red carpet with YSL designer Stefano Pilati, wore a white tux dress that exposed more than the public is used to seeing on the resplendent redhead.

Keeping in tune with the man of the evening, Paul Poiret, the women of Monday night donned dresses either from the designer or wore gowns inspired by the man who is credited with freeing women from corsets.
