The Met Gala is the biggest red carpet event next to the Oscars in our books. And probably the most fabulous. On the red carpet last night, a who’s who of Hollywood and the fashion were out in force at the annual Costume Institute Gala celebrating the new exhibition “Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations,”  which pays tribute to designers Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada. We spotted tons of glam gowns that got us inspired about wedding style—here we breakdown five our of favourite looks.

55997 Scarlett Johansson in Dolce and Gabanna. We love everything about this dress from the sparkle, to the tulle to the sweeping mermaid shape and off the shoulder neckline. ScarJo did this look right by keeping her beauty look simple—lightly tousled hair, classic red lips. Pure glam!

56001 Sofia Vergara in Marchesa. Sofia rocks THE look of the season: the peplum. We saw tons of these on the spring 2013 bridal runways last month and Sophia shows how it's done with this super-sexy design that showcases her killer curves.

56000 Jessica Paré in L'Wren Scott. We loved Paré's slinky, shimmering gold sheath. The colour dazzled as did the way the slim-cut column dress draped. Picture this beauty in white and you've got one mod, sexy dress.

55999 Amy Adams in Giambattista Valli. Looking every inch a goddess, Amy Adams swept the Met Gala wearing a etheral white asymmetric gown complete with a black panel inlay and gold lame bow belt. Wedding-day perfection!

55998 Amber Heard in Zac Posen. There weren't a ton of dresses with big, bold volume and that is what we loved about this one. Posen created a tight corset bodice and a bustley, ruffly skirt and train. Also love, love LOVED the pretty sugarplum shade.
