Best Dressed at the 2012 Metropolitan Museum Gala

Every year the Metropolitan Museum Gala promises a red carpet filled with amazing fashion fit to put any other major red carpet event to shame, and indeed this time around was no different. One winner in our book is the always on point Nina Dobrev, who was wearing a Donna Karan Atelier burnout-beaded dress. Another look we fell head-over-heels for was model Coco Rocha’s vintage Givenchy chartreuse jumpsuit, which was once owned by Elizabeth Taylor and won by Rocha at a Christie’s auction.
