Every year, the fashion and film A+ list convene at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC for the annual Costume Institute Gala (the theme for 2010 was "American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity") ... and it's basically the red carpet event of the year for the fashion-obsessed:
Anna Wintour in Chanel
Oprah Winfrey in Oscar de la Renta

Karl Lagerfeld
