The Met Gala - an annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York - is often described as the biggest night in fashion.

It's a chance for both famous faces and designers to be as creative as possible, and this year there were certainly some eye-catching looks.

This year's theme was costume art, with those attending asked to follow the dress-code, "Fashion is Art".
