Beyond Fashion: Musicians Take Over the Met Gala 2014
The Metropolian Museum of Art's annual Costume Institute gala is a once-a-year opportunity for rock stars to prove their fashion bona fides — for rappers, actors, models and style icons to mingle without the stress of accepting an award (or losing graciously). Last year, the New York institution celebrated punk style, which brought out the best and worst in everyone; this year, the theme was the more amorphous "Beyond Fashion." Here's what some of our biggest stars brought to the red carpet.
