The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York rolled out the red carpet for the who's who of fashion on Monday night. And always one to pull out all the stops at the annual Met Gala extravaganza is Sarah Jessica Parker, who certainly didn't disappoint this year. The actress showed up in an elaborate flame-like red and white headdress by Philip Treacy, stopping all the other guests in their tracks. From left to right: Amal Clooney, Jennifer Lawrence, Jessica Chastain, Kim Kardashian, Sarah Jessica Parker, Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, Anne Hathaway, Katie Holmes and Rihanna.

Beyonce may have been one of the last attendees to arrive on the red carpet, she certainly made up for lost time.
The singer was wearing a naked-effect dress by Givenchy. The tight-fitting gown was completely sheer and meant the star had nothing but some strategically placed colourful jewels protecting her modesty.
Beyonce wore tan sandals and pulled her fiercest poses on the red carpet beside husband Jay Z, with her blonde hair styled in a high ponytail to best show off her dazzling ensemble.

It was quite the Met Gala come back for the star, whose husband and sister Solange (who was also at the bash this year) infamously got into a fight in an elevator after last year's event.
Going for a similar look to Beyonce - but a surprisingly marginally more modest one - was Kim Kardashian.
The reality star naturally wanted a look that would get her noticed, and she easily managed that in a Roberto Cavalli creation that hugged every inch of her famous figure.

The 34-year-old reality star, who was attending the gala for the third time, was joined by her rapper husband Kanye West - who clearly loved his wife's sexy look.
After Kim had headed inside, Rihanna caused jaws to drop when she arrived in a rich yellow robe featuring heavy embroidery, a fur trim and the longest train of any of the guests.

The songstress still managed to leave plenty of skin on show with the gown starting at her cleavage and featuring a split up the front, and accessorised with a gold headdress.
And once Rihanna had posed at the entrance, she needed three people to hold her train as she made her way up the stairs in her sky high glittering sandals.
'I’m so in love with this dress, but the train is insane!' she told VF.com on the red carpet.

Sarah Jessica Parker always manages to shock at the annual event, and this year was certainly no exception.
In an nod to the theme, the actress showed up in an elaborate flame-like red and white headdress by Philip Treacy, stopping all the other guests in their tracks.
Sarah, who arrived alongside Andy Cohen, also wore a black satin one-shouldered gown featuring embroidery and embellished with flowers, which was designed in collaboration with H&M.

Meanwhile, Lady Gaga unsurprisingly relished the chance to wear a wacky outfit, in the form of a black and white netted custom Balenciaga design, with a low-cut neckline.
The 29-year-old singer enhanced her ensemble with a black headpiece and matching sparkly platform boots, and drew on dark pointed eyebrows.
