Stepping out of her comfort zone, Emily, 36, stunned in a heavily embellished gold foiled dress which hugged her figure to perfection and boasted an array of sequins and petal detailing. Taking into consideration the annual event's 'camp' theme, The Quiet Place actress added to the look with an eye-catching gold headband which tamed her tresses in place, as well as an array of eye-catching earrings. Emily looked in her element as she took to the pink carpet in the sensational number which flattered her figure to perfection. Toting her belongings in a small matching gold handbag, Emily, who is married to John Krasinski, effortlessly worked her angles. Sienna also rivalled her pal Emily on the style front, donning a contrasting silver metallic figure-hugging piece. Good as gold: Stepping out of her comfort zone, Emily, 36, stunned in a heavily embellished gold foiled dress which hugged her figure to perfection and boasted an array of sequins and petal detailing The stunning dress plunged down the middle and featured black detailing, and she boosted her height in a pair of towering peep-toe heels. Sienna opted for a glamorous blowdry, and added to the look with sixties-inspired make-up, including fluttery eyelashes and silver eyeshadow. This year, the exhibit and gala are dedicated to the idea of 'camp,' as defined by Susan Sontag's 1964 essay Notes on 'Camp.' The Met Gala, formally known as the Costume Institute Benefit, is always chaired by a team of high-wattage celebrities, and this year is no exception. The event is chaired by pop star and actress-of-the-moment Lady Gaga, tennis star Serena Williams, and singer Harry Styles, along with Gucci designer Alessandro Michele and, as always, Vogue editor Anna Wintour. Wintour said she believes this year's Met Gala to be about 'self expression' and 'individuality', noting that she wanted to see 'outrageous, fun, tongue in cheek' fashion on the red carpet. Attendance is by invitation only, and word has it that Vogue editor extraordinaire Anna has the final say over each person on the guest list. The new theme seems decidedly more lighthearted than last year's hugely successful Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination, about the relationship between fashion and Catholicism.
