On a night when fashion's finest come out to play, there are always a few misses.
Unfortunately, Beyonce Knowles didn't make the grand red carpet return she expected after giving birth to daughter Blue Ivy Carter in January.
The 30-year-old entertainer's figure looked lovely, but her Givenchy Haute Couture gown was a sequinned, feathered disaster.
In fact, the purple and black feathered train looked like it might have been constructed for her bathroom carpet.
Rihanna is not one to shy away from making a bold fashion statement.
The 24-year-old singer confidently wore a tight, crocodile applique gown to tonight's Met Ball in New York City.
The Bajan beauty didn't even have to channel single 'Talk That Talk' at the annual fashion event, as her sultry gaze said everything.
She made sure to show off her toned rear in the slinky Tom Ford number as she strutted down the red carpet in a pair of somewhat sedate black heels.
While she kept her make-up and jewellery to a minimum, her hairdo at the Costume Institute Gala was over the top.
Her mane was tied in two bunches atop her head, which was most likely meant to look artful, but in execution just looked strange.
Her talon-like fingernails, also painted black, added to the vampy look she seemed to be going for at the fete, which celebrated the Modern Museum of Art's Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations exhibition opening.

Project Runway host Heidi Klum also might want to find herself a new designer come 2013.
Her blue lace Escada showed off her endlessly long legs, but its mini dress meets maxi vibe didn't quite work.
Sex and the City's resident fashionista, Sarah Jessica Parker, looked lovely, but her floral Valentino would have looked more in place at a garden party.
Midas touch: Victoria's Secret model Karolina Kurkova opted for a show-stopping look, designed by Rachel Zoe
Gwyneth Paltrow had no problems, paying tribute to tonight's hostess Muccia in a stunning short and backless lilac-silver dress that was probably the most elegant outfit on the red carpet tonight.
Sparkle seems to work best when given a slant, like Gwyneth's Barbarella minimalism or Sofia Vergara's sensational Marchesa silver lace column dress.
The colour is so subtle it allows the drama of the lace and the sexy shape of the gown to really do the talking, and the Modern Family star finished off her look with a bright, bright slick of fuchsia pink lipstick... which sealed the deal.
