Phil Oh Captures The Met Gala

This years Met Gala, in short, was quite something. Even though I loved the rebellious punk theme of last years event, the classic, "done" silhouette that was brought on by the Charles James theme was completely groundbreaking. However, I couldn't look at one Special Edition Best Dressed List without first looking at the gorgeous, casual photographs snapped by my favorite street style photographer, Phil Oh. The casual street style vibe combined with the refined elegance of the Met gave birth to images that captured the elegant but fun-loving crowd of the Met Ball.

Six Met Gala Worthy Ball Gowns Cause Photogenic Frenzy in NYC

The Met Gala is tonight, this time celebrating a new exhibit featuring the gorgeous work of the American coutureur Charles James. To chronicle the occasion, supermodels Hanne Gaby Odiele, Grace Mahary, Tilda Lindstam, Alana Zimmer, and Xiao Wen Ju stepped out in gorgeous Charles James-esque gowns to (temporarily) take over Manhattan. They did so, followed by what vogue.com described as "i-phone paparazzi". This is a collection of my favorite photographs taken of that time-period, in anticipation of tonight. Stay tuned for more Met posts!
