The Met Gala 2014: Best dressed and most ambiguous...

Everyone has put in their two pennies worth about last night's Met Gala dresses - you should just have a flick through Twitter, interesting conversations to say the least - so I thought I'd have my say now.Here goes...

*Best Dressed*

Karolina Kurkova absolutely STOLE the show last night in Marchesa. The drama, elegance, romanticism of this dress is pure magic. Ain't no one coming close to this!

*Best in show*

So we have Chrissy Teigen in stunning Ralph Lauren, Diane Kruger looking statuesque in her Hugo Boss, Kim Kardashian shone in two-tone Lanvin, the Olsen sisters channeled Victoriana chic - Mary-Kate in vintage Ferre and Ashley in vintage Chanel, and Maggie Gyllenhaal in spotty Valentino.

*Most fabulous and best worn label - Zac Posen*

Wow Zac, you've been a busy boy! There's: Maggie Q, Dita Von Teese and the man himself, Arizona Muse, Liu Wen, Karen Elson and Sarah Silverman. Surely the most fabric ever used by one designer at any Met Gala?

*Best Surprise of the Night - Janelle Monae in Tadashi Shoji*

*Most Ambiguous of the Night*

A new category I've just made up, but there was dresses from last night that made you ask questions, made you think and kept you staring. First, Lupita Nyong'O divided opinion in her custom Prada. Cystals, beads and feathers, OH MY. At least Kristen Stewart is smiling, and her Chanel couture was interesting too. SJP was one of the first to arrive in her Oscar de la Renta. I just wasn't sure! And Shailene Woodley in Rodarte was a brave and bold choice - grown up but dramatic too.
