Last night was the annual Met Gala honoring the museum’s latest exhibit, Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty. Models and celebrities attended in knockout dresses to honor the late designer’s extraordinary work.

Check out a few of our favorite looks from these talented British designers. On Allison: House of Harlow necklace from Endless.com

The stars came out in full force to celebrate the great Alexander McQueen at the 2011 Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute's Gala. There were a few who wore the late designer's pieces to the event, but many who opted to wear other houses. Anna Wintour stuck to her traditional Chanel, as did new face Blake Lively, while others opted for something less traditional — most notably Ginnifer Goodwin in custom Topshop. There's so much more, though, so before we wrap up our Met Gala coverage, click through to see all of last night's gorgeous glamor.
