Known as the Oscars of fashion, the Met Gala was held in New York earlier this week and the extravagant ensembles on the red carpet didn't disappoint. The China: Through The Looking Glass theme saw starlets rocking Eastern-inspired looks with a Hollywood (or Big Bird, in Rihanna's case) twist.

Take Kendall Jenner's emerald entry, which is elegance embodied. This gem hue looks incredible on blondes and brunettes alike, so pair it with inky green, black, or gold accessories for timeless twinkle.

For a frock that could have been styled by Patricia Field herself, start with our polished noir gown that accentuates long legs while defining décolletage, and build with accessories. Sarah Jessica Parker has a little fun with hers by playing with the dress-code in an extravagant Eastern inspired headdress, but you can make it wearable - and give yourself an easier time walking through doors - by taking cues from her hues and leaving the rest behind. So snag ruby heels, bag and earrings, and you've got fool-proof Carrie Bradshaw style.

Or, you could let your dress do the talking like Kim Kardashian. Designed in honour of the feathered frock legendary singer Cher wore to the first ever Met Gala in 1974, the reality star's white dress was ethereal while pushing the envelope. Subtly hint at your sexy shape like she does with a dress featuring sheer panels or overlay.

Hey, if it works for Beyonce, it will work for you! The Flawless singer decided not to let Kim K steal her Bootylicious crown by going bare and bejewelled. Proud of your up-front assets? Show them off with aplomb in this teal décolletage tamer.

Or, if the night's warm enough, lose the excess fabric altogether! The thigh was the limit for supermodel Miranda Kerr and Fifty Shades Of Grey actress Dakota Johnson, who ditched the floor-length trend. Win in a mini by pairing one of these detailed party numbers with razor-sharp party heels. There's no cleavage, which makes flashing your super-long stems demure, right?

Better yet, throw caution to the wind like the lady in red - Gigi Hadid. This is the colour of confidence, so clasp it by the horns, perfect your fiercest pose and tag us in those sexy Instagram snaps so we can admire you rocking that ruby look!
