Julianne Hough may have walked the Met Gala red carpet with boyfriend Ryan Seacrest, but the dancer and actress made a statement in her own right in a hot pink strapless Carolina Herrera dress with black neckline detail and an extravagant fishtail hem. Julianne wore her hair down and in loose waves, and accessorized the standout gown with a pair of chandelier earrings. We love that she chose to go easy on the baubles with such an attention-getting gown; what do you think of her Met Gala look?

Met Gala: Dianna Agron

The Glee girls were a sight for sore eyes tonight!

The Glee girls were a sight for sore eyes tonight! Acting as a perfect complement to Lea Michele's sexy cobalt gown, Dianna Agron was a vision in emerald green at tonight's Met Gala. She wore a low-cut, Grecian-inspired Carolina Herrera gown that was cinched at the waist with a matching green belt and accessorized with a metallic clutch and bright blue ring. Dianna finished her look with soft, '20s-chic waves and smoky eyeshadow. Thoughts?

Jordana Brewster Dons the Prettiest Little Persimmon Dress We've Seen

Red-carpet chic and garden-party ready, Dallas star Jordana Brewster paired a pretty bubble-print Carolina Herrera sheath with subtle gold accents and sleek blush-toned pumps at last night's Paley Center For Media and Warner Bros.

Red-carpet chic and garden-party ready, Dallas star Jordana Brewster paired a pretty bubble-print Carolina Herrera sheath with subtle gold accents and sleek blush-toned pumps at last night's Paley Center For Media and Warner Bros. "Television: Out of the Box" exhibition opening. The warm lilac and persimmon-hued dress is totally flirty and flattering, thanks to its cinched waist detail and a slight ruffle-front skirt slit. The key, when re-creating this ladylike ensemble, is to pay attention to the dress's silhouette in relation to its pattern design. A cool white foldover clutch, a small stack of gold bangles, and sweet nude heels added just the right amount of polish to Jordana's sweet Spring outfit.

Comedienne Tina Fey stepped out in a navy Carolina Herrera gown that featured this season's hottest trend: a peplum pop. Not only did the fit-and-flair silhouette at the waist show off Tina's svelte figure, it helped to highlight the other Old Hollywood-inspired accessories she included in her red carpet attire. Her sapphire chandelier earrings, sapphire ring, mini-box clutch, and swept-back 'do added just the right amount of glamour to her already sophisticated look. How do you think Tina did?

It's Easy to Make Your Own Carolina Herrera-Inspired Headband

Carolina Herrera is known for her classic yet dramatic pieces, so it just makes sense that her Fall 2012 hairstyles would reflect that aesthetic.

Carolina Herrera is known for her classic yet dramatic pieces, so it just makes sense that her Fall 2012 hairstyles would reflect that aesthetic. Working with Orlando Pita (at Orlo Salon for Moroccanoil), Herrera's models walked the runway with coiffures he described as "really graphic, but not too romantic."

And while it's probably not practical to wear the big-time bouffants seen in the show, there's an easy way to get the gist of the style at home. Learn how to pump up the volume and to make your own Herrera-style headbands now.

Carolina Herrera Fall 2012

Carolina Herrera delivered her quintessential elegance in brilliant red gowns, shimmering red-carpet-worthy dresses, and refined separates for her Fall collection. Pleasing both the celebrity clientele and polished working women, Herrera displayed her magnitude for the classics and modernity in one graceful swoop. Classic ballgowns were sharpened with angles and diaphanous silk dresses were swept with artistic brush-stroke prints, most of which were cinched in with Japanese obi-inspired belts. Meanwhile, for the working class, Herrera paired knee-length wool skirts with an array of sparkly, fur, and feathered sweaters, cropped jackets, and wrap coats doused in one of our favorite color combos: navy and black. More details from the collection below.

  • Trends: Black and navy color combos, full skirts.
  • Colors: Black, navy, red, gray, purple, mauve.
  • Key Piece: We can't wait to see one of the architectural ballgowns on the Oscars red carpet.
  • Accessories: Wrap obi belts, wedge pumps, long leather gloves.
  • Who Would Wear It: Michelle Obama would look amazing in the skirt suits, and we'd like to see front-row attendee Renée Zellweger in one of Carolina's magical ballgowns.
