It was all about fashion last night in New York City as celebs from the music, fashion, sports and film collided at the the 2012 MET Costume Institute Gala (sometimes pegged the Fashion Oscars). Familiar faces like Rihanna, Kanye West, Alicia Keys, Solange, Amar’e Stoudemire, Janelle Monae, Bruno Mars and Lala & Carmelo graced the red carpet of the invite-only event as well as some newcomers like NFL Superbowl champ Victor Cruz and Azealia Banks, who performed at the event as a replacement for Nicki Minaj.
