Best Dressed of 2014 Met Gala

As 7 p.m. eastern time and 4 p.m. Cal Poly time rolled around, my computer was readily opened to Instagram, Twitter and a New York Times Live feed in preparation for a flood of gorgeous dresses and dapper men. The occasion? Vogue’s annual Met Ball! This year, the highly exclusive and anticipated event honored 1920’s couturier Charles James. As the steady stream of gorgeous and jaw dropping dresses began to fill up my multiple feeds, I couldn’t contain my giddiness. Massive ball gowns, sexy deep v-necks and gorgeous pant ensembles flooded my social media pages. There was so much amazing fashion coming at me that I could barely stand it (it was a good thing I was sitting down)! After going through the slideshows multiple times, just to simply soak up all the incredible outfits that the Ball-goers donned this year, I have come back to a few people more than once as being the best dressed of the event.
