They came, we saw, they conquered! The Met's Costume Institute Gala is the Oscars of fashion and we've been having a field day with the celebs and fashion folks who attempted to dress for the theme "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy." There was a lot of eye candy and while we saw some really cool getups, a lot of people played it safe. The ones who did attempt an underlying superhero message weren't voted as favorites, alas, here are the favorites. Who was the most super of the Met Gala this year?!

You didn't think the editor of American Vogue would attend this shindig in something less than spectacular did you? Her futuristic Chanel Haute Couture gown is quite the spectacle — and it even has pockets. Maybe that's where she hides her mysterious fashion powers . . .
Anna Wintour's daughter was fit to be a princess in a voluminous purple organza gown by Nina Ricci at the Met's Costume Institute Gala. I wonder if that guy in the pic (below) was following her around all night helping to adjust her dress — ha! I love the grandiose dress, do you?

Michelle Monaghan and designer Giles Mendel walked arm in arm, while Michelle showed off her J. Mendel one-shoulder metallic dress. I'm a bit torn about this one; I like the color and leaf detail but the mermaid cut is a bit tired. You?
Why did Rachel Bilson decide to hide her petite body in such an overwhelming Calvin Klein turtleneck dress? She has such a cute figure, I wish she showed more of it! And it would have been nice to see her hair out of her face. What do you think?
