If the White House Correspondents dinner is lovingly nicknamed “Nerd Prom”, The Met Gala would have to wear the moniker of “Fashion Prom” – which is basically what every high school girl would like to think her prom already is, but most of those girls are wearing taffeta so it doesn’t quite stand up.

Last night was a first for the Met Gala: a live internet broadcast of the red carpet. Finally we get a chance to evaluate the dresses (and the women wearing them) in real time. It also gives the fangirls out there, like myself, a better opportunity to pretend we’re actually attending.

And with that, I present to you, My “Best Of”…

I love the strong lip and feathery cocktail dress on Kate Bosworth. The style is a bit more overtly-glam-sexy than her normal look but she’s really pulling it off. // There’s a lot going on with Amy Poehler’s pseudo leather dress (peplum, mermaid silhouette, feathery skirt) but I think she looks hot. Way to take advantage of your time away from all those pantsuits on Parks & Rec. // Fat Betty who? January Jones was a standout in a perfectly fit bright yellow Versace. // Although I don’t love the hairstyle, Carey Mulligan is a mermaid’s icon in this metallic scaled Prada. // Rooney Mara is back in black! And Givenchy, of course. // I honestly can’t imagine a single individual who could actually pull off this look other than Florence Welch. Is she twirling or does the dress just lay like that?

Camilla Belle looks absolutely stunning in this dress, but I’ve come to expect the unexpected from her. Although this doesn’t fit into that category, I can’t get over how great she looks. // It’s only right that Michelle Dockery would wear Ralph Lauren, after all the Downton Abbey inspiration she provided for his latest collection. // I think this is the best I’ve seen Jessica Alba look in recent history. That dark gold was basically made for her skin tone and the fit is gorgeous. // Speaking of fit, I love how flattering this Rachel Roy dress is on Solange Knowles. //  I’m not sure if it’s the makeup or her actual alertness but maybe it’s this dreamy dress on Dianna Agron that’s making her look so sleepy.

Leave it to Beyonce to make an entrance like this. I can’t say I love the “oops we forgot to put in the skirt lining” look but the ombre feathers are pretty killer. // Lana Del Rey looks miserable right here. Maybe she’s in vampire character or maybe she just remembered that Gwyneth had the lockdown on capes for this year. // So maybe it isn’t something I would wear, but this mirrored Miu Miu is right up Chloe Sevigny’s alley. And her legs look fierce. // I can’t make up my mind about Coco Rocha’s outfit but I love her decision to stand out in all sorts of ways. The hair, the colors, it all screams “fun”, and boy do I mean “screams”.

What looks did you love/hate/didn’t get?
