Nearly 100 fashionable celebrities turned out for the much-anticipated Costume Institute Gala honoring the late Alexander McQueen at The Metropolitan Museum of Art tonight in New York City tonight. I wish I could post all the pictures of every beautiful celebrity who adorned the red carpet, but there were just too many and so little time. I did the best I could.
Jay Z and his wife Beyonce attended the Costume Gala a few days after they attended his nephew’s high school graduation in NYC.
Paparazzi asked singer Alicia Keys to pose without her insufferably boring husband, Swizz Beatz. And she happily obliged.
Singer Rihanna attended the costume Gala wearing a black embroidered gown and her flaming red wig in a long ponytail braid.
Bey’s sister, singer Solange Knowles, will regret choosing this outfit when she reads the blogs tomorrow.
Singer Ciara tweeted excitedly about attending this event. And therefore we had high expectations for her outfit. We like Ciara so we will keep our opinions to ourself.
