The Hollywood elite hit the Metropolitan Museum of Art ‘s yearly Costume Institute Gala for the “PUNK: Chaos to Couture” exhibition on May 6, 2013 in New York City.

While some just came to put on pretty dresses, others actually took the “punk” theme to heart and went all out. We’ll start with Alicia Keys and work our way down through red carpet arrivals and party shots.
