The 2012 Met Gala is upon us! Finally, the one red carpet that is truly, reliably fashionable every year! In keeping with the Costume Institute’s new exhibit, “Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations,” many attendees have turned out in their freshest Prada, although plenty others have been dressed by their designer dates. Check back here for up-to-the-minute updates on the red carpet outfits; you can also see our red carpet live-blog here, preview the new exhibit here, and peruse some of the best outfits from Met Galas past.
