Gossip Girl Leighton Meester bravely walked the red carpet wearing a psychedelic paisley print avant-garde confection by Louis Vuitton. The dress and matching tights are a little over the top for my liking, but props to Meester for trying new things. Satin Louis Vuitton ankle wrap pumps (Victoria Beckham wore a similar pair ), jeweled bangles, and cherry-red lips top her doll-like ensemble. Do you love it or hate it?

Eva Longoria and her hubby Tony walked the red carpet together tonight. Eva is no stranger to looking sultry, so it's not surprising that her Diane von Furstenberg dress has a huge cleavage-revealing keyhole. A metallic chain-link necklace toughens her up a smidgen. Verdict?

Ivanka Trump doesn't need much to stun, but a little Brian Reyes never hurt anyone. Her nude tulle gown exudes beautiful sophistication. Note how the slim back belt calls attention to her waist — nice. For accessories, Ivanka chose silver drop earrings and bangles from her own jewelry line, satin Christian Louboutin peep-toe pumps, and Judith Leiber clutch. What do you think?

Here is singer Ciara looking right at home on the red carpet in her Pucci dress designed by new creative director Peter Dundas. It's long, fitted, and black — almost Morticia Addams-style — but has white panels on both sides and some sequins up top. And check out that huge keyhole in the back. Do you love or hate?

Jessica Alba opted to wear a strapless ocean blue dress by Jason Wu to the Met festivities. The jewel-encrusted top looks good enough to eat, and so do the hot pink clutch and emerald earrings. However, what's up with the black tights? Do tell . . .
