The Costume Institute Gala, kicking off May 4, has everyone giddy with anticipation. Like prom, one of the most important decisions is choosing your dress and date. This year, the "Model as Muse" theme has inspired many designers to choose models as their dates, while others are sticking to their usual beau and celeb buddies.

We already learned that Fergie and Liv Tyler are attending as guests of Calvin Klein, and Tilda Swinton is accompanying Prada, but as the Costume Institute gala fast approaches on May 5, more details have leaked.
Giorgio Armani is said to be dressing Julia Roberts, George Clooney, Tom Cruise, and Katie Holmes, but it doesn't stop there. Rumor has it that Jennifer Lopez is coming with Alberta Ferretti, Kate Bosworth with Chanel, and Eva Mendes and Rachel Bilson are also attending with Calvin Klein.

As the biggest singular fashion event of the year approaches — The Met's Costume Institute Gala on May 5 — designers have already started to announce which celebrities they are bringing as guests.
Francisco Costa of Calvin Klein revealed that he is dressing Fergie and Liv Tyler — no surprise there, since he's brought Liv to the event the past couple of years. He hinted that Fergie and Liv weren't his only two guests, but wouldn't name any more names.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has chosen "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy" as the theme of its Spring exhibit.

We saved one of the best for last - the belle of the ball so to speak. Now, this event is one of the most important of the year for the fashion cognoscenti - as you can see from all of our polls! Leave it to Anna to wear one of the most dramatic pieces of the evening.

I have to say I'm a bit disappointed in Kate's choice for the gala. I think she may be wearing a creation from her Topshop collection, which would be cool but this dress just falls flat. Plus, she looks a bit tired - maybe too much Topshop action for this model star?

Ooh! Camilla looks like a sultry super hero no? While one is supposed to bring on the drama for this event, I think this beauty delivered just the right amount of it in this glittering Jean Paul Gaultier.

I like Eva's dress, but next to some of the other more theatrical gowns at the gala, it looks rather simple and tame. I think this would have worked for a movie premiere, but for a gala, it's a little too 80s cocktail party. Her hair and earrings are the high notes.
