The Met Gala is the premier fashion event in the United States. However, it may compete with the red carpet of the Oscar ceremony. But what happens when these two events intersect? Yes, Oscar winners Viola Davis, Jessica Chastain, Michelle Yeoh and Nicole Kidman let it be known who’s boss at the annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York.

Viola Davis in Valentino

Viola Davis, 57, shone in a hot pink Valentino dress with an exaggerated feather insert on the bodice, which was balanced by an afro and round, voluminous ethnic-style earrings.

Michelle Yeoh in Karl Lagerfeld

Everything Everywhere star Michelle Yeoh, 60, subtly referenced Karl Lagerfeld’s personal penchant for black and white in a flowing dress that featured a white collared top with buttons, long flared white sheer sleeves and a cut-out black slit skirt. Michelle demonstrated one of the best interpretations of the couturier’s look within the stated dress code.

Jessica Chastain in Gucci

Jessica Chastain in black Gucci with sheer gloves is another nod to Karl’s clothing preferences. She also wore large black sunglasses to make herself virtually unrecognizable with her new blonde hair color. Like Michelle Yeoh, the 46-year-old actress managed to strike the right balance between her incredible look and the evening’s stated theme.

Nicole Kidman in Chanel

55-year-old Nicole Kidman appeared in a soft pink dress, which she wore in the legendary Chanel No. 5 commercial. If you don’t remember the advertisement almost 20 years ago, then just take a look at the amazing creation of Karl Lagerfeld, encrusted with feathers, 3 thousand crystals and sequins on the train.
