  Last night’s Met Gala red carpet was awash in Prada, but it was Carey’s gold and silver pailette dress that completely captured our hearts. (Fitting for a glowing newlywed!) Sculptural, sexy and a little surreal, the frock was the perfect fit for an event celebrating two of the most visionary designers of the century. (Side note? Gwyneth’s surprising thumbs-down. Maybe after scoring a universal best-dressed nod at the 2012 Oscars, our G wanted to share the spotlight a little. Um, sure. Next year, we predict she brings it.)
