WHO: Christina Ricci & Tom Ford
WHAT: Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala 2011 (Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty Exhibit)
WHEN: MAY 2nd 2011
WHERE: NYC, USA
Fashionwidget’s Verdict: In her part costume part ball gown, Christina brought the Savage and the Beauty to the costume Gala (we believe she is wearing a Zac Posen creation) and Tom brought suave-classy-sexy to the red carpet. This is all anyone could ask of two people who truly understand style. A+

WHO: Global Celebrities and Fashion Designers
WHAT: Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala 2011 (Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty Exhibit)
WHEN: MAY 2nd 2011
WHERE: NYC, USA
Fashionwidget’s Verdict: This event is arguably the The “Oscars” of the Fashion World. While we are still deliberating (lots of dresses and suits to review) and while most of us are currently working on other projects simultaneously, we’ve managed to shortlist some of the best dressed celebrities from last evening’s costume gala in New York for you our lovely and *wink*wink* very patient readers. Overall it was a great night, some outfits were drop-dead gorgeous while some we refuse to even upload pics of, talk less of comment on. If you have nothing nice to say, it is better not to say anything at all right? As for the celebrities shortlisted in the slideshow above, they deserve a round of applause for bringing in on the red carpet last night. A+

WHO: Ellen Pompeo
WHAT: 2nd Annual Mary J. Blige Honors Concert
WHEN: May 1st 2011
WHERE: New York City
Fashionwidget’s Verdict: We are not entirely in love with the way this tassle-belted jumpsuit by GUCCI fits on Ms. Pompeo but her choice of accessories and wise decision not to wear any earrings or necklace save the look. B-

WHO: Christina Aguilera
WHAT: 2nd Annual Mary J. Blige Honors Concert
WHEN: May 1st 2011
WHERE: New York City
Fashionwidget’s Verdict: Ms. Aguilera has been receiving a lot of flack lately for everything you could possibly mention about her under the sun but we’re not about to discuss that nor join in her bandwagon of haters. Her Lacy LBD by Valentino and Christian Louboutin Madame Butterfly Peep-toe pumps are fashionably stylish enough for us. B+
