All the usual suspects were out en force for last night’s Met Gala (the biggest fashion event of the year, for those who don’t follow such things).
The annual ball, which officially launches the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s yearly Costume Institute exhibit, is Hollywood’s chance to show off (in couture), all under the Sauron-esque unblinking eye of Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. This year’s theme paid tribute to Charles James, America’s First Couturier.
No punk attire this time. It was all fabulous ball gowns, black and white chic and dramatic Old Hollywood.
Some of our favorite Jewish celebs made an appearance: Sarah Jessica Parker in Oscar de la Renta, Lea Michele in Altuzarra, Diana Agron in Miu Miu, Emmy Rossum in Carolina Herrera — even Lena Dunham was surprisingly put together in a Giambattista Valli strapless number.
But our vote for best dressed goes (hands down) to Sarah Silverman, dressed to kill in a blood red ball gown. NAILED IT.

This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
