Once a year, celebrities and the entire fashion world gather at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art for one of the most fabulous and glamorous nights of the year: The Met's Costume Institute Gala. Last year the red carpet was awash with everyone from Gisele Bundchen to Jessica Simpson to Cate Blanchett. I'm excited to see who walks the red carpet this year. Expect high-watt stars since George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Giorgio Armani are all chairing the event. In 2007 the celebs came out to celebrate Paul Poiret, a fashion visionary. This year's theme is Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy. Perfect timing with the release of movies like Iron Man, The Dark Knight, The Hulk and Hellboy II. Looks like Sex and the City won't be the only movie this summer influencing fashion!

PS. I just learned Christy Turlington will be wearing Escada tonight...more updates to come!
