Celebrity fashion at the "American Woman: Fashioning A National Identity" at the Costume Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

A few more big events to go before things peter down for summer and we are all getting rather tired here of looking at stacks of celebrity photos of stars wearing overdone dresses, even when the event is a fashion industry favorite.

That’s not to say that you can’t look unique but just not like you are wrapped up in an overdone bolt of couture fabric. So instead of ragging on the overdone rags, we will simply show you what we like and what will surely NOT produce any "what was she thinking" retrospective moments.

There’s that wonderful adage about not wearing clothes that wear you and that’s what we want to concentrate on as we review the prettiest, we think, looks from last night’s red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala in New York.

Sharon’s personal favorite for the night is Gwen Stefani wearing a dress of her own design that is edgy yet quite stunning and simple, pictured left.

Take a look at some of our favorite elegant red carpet fashion looks from last night that will withstand the taste of time and tell us what you think…
