PHOTOS: MET Gala 2014 Red Carpet Arrivals

They came, they saw, they slayed. This year’s Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala was nothing short of glamour as famous fashionistas stepped out in extravagant ball gowns to celebrate American designer Charles James, whose influence could be seen in many of the show stopping dresses the celebs rocked this evening.
