Last night, London’s Victoria and Albert Museum hosted a gala in honor of the opening of “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty” — the second incarnation of the wildly popular retrospective that debuted at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2011. Everyone from Kate Moss to Naomi Campbell and Beth Ditto turned out to celebrate the opening of the show in McQueen’s hometown — many of them throwback McQueen designs. Salma Hayek opted for a fall 2008 McQueen tulle gown adorned with two kissing peacocks, while FKA Twigs chose a spring 2008 design that included parrotlike, rainbow wings. Click through the slideshow to see all of the looks — including Cressida Bonas, Poppy Delevingne, and Laura Carmichael — from last night’s opening.
