Lo! (Her earrings are major.) ## Joy Bryant ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_585712dm-1588631744.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock (585712dm) Joy Bryant COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA CELEBRATING ANGLOMANIA: TRADITION AND TRANSGRESSION IN BRITISH FASHION AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK, AMERICA - 01 MAY 2006 Correctly, many of the people who attended this event decided "Anglomania" meant RUFFLES and/or went for a sort of vaguely Regency-romance sort of jam. I love Joy; I once talked to her at a party about the importance of a cross-body bag at cocktail events because they make it easier for you to eat and drink, and then I went home and bought a Chanel one because that's what she was using. (I had had A LOT of aperol spritzes.) (I also returned it, as I do not have Buy Chanel on a Whim money!) Anyway, also it's hard to tell here, but her dress was a very delicate lavendar. ## Scarlett Johansson and Stella McCartney ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_585712bm-1588631678.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock (585712bm) Scarlett Johansson and Stella McCartney COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA CELEBRATING ANGLOMANIA: TRADITION AND TRANSGRESSION IN BRITISH FASHION AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK, AMERICA - 01 MAY 2006 Scarlett feels a little daytime here; Stella looks pretty rad. I sort of want them to switch outfits. ## Kim Basinger ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_585712al-1588631615.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock (585712al) Kim Basinger COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA CELEBRATING ANGLOMANIA: TRADITION AND TRANSGRESSION IN BRITISH FASHION AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK, AMERICA - 01 MAY 2006 "Well, MY theme this year is Salute to Sharon Stone!" ## Amanda Peet ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_585712dp-1588631753.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock (585712dp) Amanda Peet COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA CELEBRATING ANGLOMANIA: TRADITION AND TRANSGRESSION IN BRITISH FASHION AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK, AMERICA - 01 MAY 2006 This is quite great. ## Chloe Sevigny ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_585712eh-1588631783.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock (585712eh) Chloe Sevigny COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA CELEBRATING ANGLOMANIA: TRADITION AND TRANSGRESSION IN BRITISH FASHION AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK, AMERICA - 01 MAY 2006 This IS a party in a dress. (She was SO BLONDE in 2006.) I also read that the Sev has had her baby, so mazel to you, Chloe! ## Eva Mendes ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_585712s-1588631835.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock (585712s) Eva Mendes COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA CELEBRATING ANGLOMANIA: TRADITION AND TRANSGRESSION IN BRITISH FASHION AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK, AMERICA - 01 MAY 2006 This is very Sexy Austenland. ## Andre Leon Talley and Naomi Campbell ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_585712bp-1588631687.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock (585712bp) Andre Leon Talley and Naomi Campbell COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA CELEBRATING ANGLOMANIA: TRADITION AND TRANSGRESSION IN BRITISH FASHION AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK, AMERICA - 01 MAY 2006 "Let's both stand here and look glamorous in capes." ## Joely Richardson ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_608927bu-1588632007.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by David Fisher/Shutterstock (608927bu) Joely Richardson Costume Institute Gala Celebrating Anglomania: Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, America - 01 May 2007 This is pretty great, too. A lot of these looks have circled around to being almost on-trend again. ## Emmy Rossum ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/40981_57512035-compressed-1588631605.jpg) At the time, I shrieked that this was MUCH too old for her -- and I actually stand by that -- but I *would* like to see that blazer with jeans. ## Ginnifer Goodwin ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_585712cb-1588631707.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock (585712cb) Ginnifer Goodwin COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA CELEBRATING ANGLOMANIA: TRADITION AND TRANSGRESSION IN BRITISH FASHION AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK, AMERICA - 01 MAY 2006 I don't always love this color in action, but also this is one of her very best looks, I think? ## Selma Blair ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_585712ck-1588631725.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock (585712ck) Selma Blair COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA CELEBRATING ANGLOMANIA: TRADITION AND TRANSGRESSION IN BRITISH FASHION AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK, AMERICA - 01 MAY 2006 This is also great. I feel like somewhere in Los Angeles, Selma Blair is currently wondering if she should do bangs again. I VOTE YES, SELMA. ## Ciara ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_585712eo-1588631812.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock (585712eo) Ciara COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA CELEBRATING ANGLOMANIA: TRADITION AND TRANSGRESSION IN BRITISH FASHION AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK, AMERICA - 01 MAY 2006 This is very Empire Waist But Make It Body-Con -- but it's also a very cute photo of her. ## Carey Lowell and Richard Gere ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_585712n-1588631825.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock (585712n) Carey Lowell and Richard Gere COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA CELEBRATING ANGLOMANIA: TRADITION AND TRANSGRESSION IN BRITISH FASHION AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK, AMERICA - 01 MAY 2006 The issue with a surplus of ruffles is that it's VERY easy to tip over into Saloon Owner. ## Thandiwe Newton ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/40981_57511812-compressed-1588631600.jpg) This is timeless and perfect. (I wonder if the Brits who attended this thought, "Well, as a British person, I am on theme merely by having made an appearance.") ## Michelle Monaghan ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/40981_57511476-compressed-1588631595.jpg) I LOVED this at the time. I like it fine now! ## Sienna Miller ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/40981_57510986-compressed-1588631578.jpg) I HATED this at the time and I'm not enthused about it now. (I like the idea but I don't think the execution quite got there.) ## Elizabeth Hurley ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_608927x-1588632094.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by David Fisher/Shutterstock (608927x) Elizabeth Hurley Costume Institute Gala Celebrating Anglomania: Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, America - 01 May 2007 "Darling, when two nightgowns love each other VERY much...." ## Jessica Stam ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_585712cy-1588631735.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock (585712cy) Jessica Stam COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA CELEBRATING ANGLOMANIA: TRADITION AND TRANSGRESSION IN BRITISH FASHION AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK, AMERICA - 01 MAY 2006 We're back to Saloontown. ## Marcia Gay Harden ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/40981_57510478-compressed-1588631573.jpg) At the time, I felt this was Too Barbie for her -- and I continue to feel that. Although I bet it was fun for her to wear. ## Linda Evangelista ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/40981_57511408-compressed-1588631589.jpg) I loved this then and I love it now. I do think you might have to be Linda Evangelista to play it off to its full advantage, though. ## Petra Nemocova ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/40981_57511181-compressed-1588631583.jpg) And I LOVED this back in 2006, with the caveat that I thought the necklace wasn't quite right. I can stand by all that today. (Although it looks a bit more quotidian now.) ## Charlize Theron and John Galliano ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_585712aq-1588631624.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock (585712aq) Charlize Theron and John Galliano COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA CELEBRATING ANGLOMANIA: TRADITION AND TRANSGRESSION IN BRITISH FASHION AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK, AMERICA - 01 MAY 2006 WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING. ## Sarah Jessica Parker in Alexander McQueen ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/40981_57512038-compressed-1588631610.jpg) I called this costume-y at the time, and it DEFINITELY is, but I think it's aged into being at least iconic-adjacent. (Because it was 2006, I definitely made a Sex in the City/Trey MacDougal joke here.) ## Minnie Driver ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_608927aa-1588631869.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by David Fisher/Shutterstock (608927aa) Minnie Driver Costume Institute Gala Celebrating Anglomania: Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, America - 01 May 2007 "I AM British and I am THEREFORE on theme!" ## Victoria Beckham ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_608927ak-1588631890.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by David Fisher/Shutterstock (608927ak) Victoria Beckham Costume Institute Gala Celebrating Anglomania: Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, America - 01 May 2007 "Me too!" (Remember this misguided blonde stage? Victoria would rather we didn't.) ## Gisele Bundchen ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_608927k-1588632055.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by David Fisher/Shutterstock (608927k) Gisele Bundchen Costume Institute Gala Celebrating Anglomania: Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, America - 01 May 2007 This is fairly gorgeous. It's Dior by way of John Galliano. He truly was profoundly talented. ## Sophie Dahl ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_608927ah-1588631880.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by David Fisher/Shutterstock (608927ah) Sophie Dahl Costume Institute Gala Celebrating Anglomania: Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, America - 01 May 2007 This has a couture Tinkerbell vibe. ## Jessica Alba ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_585712be-1588631657.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock (585712be) Jessica Alba COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA CELEBRATING ANGLOMANIA: TRADITION AND TRANSGRESSION IN BRITISH FASHION AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK, AMERICA - 01 MAY 2006 This is very simple, and not that memorable, but she also looks TERRIFIC in it. ## Rosario Dawson and Jason Lewis ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_585712bu-1588631697.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock (585712bu) Rosario Dawson and Jason Lewis COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA CELEBRATING ANGLOMANIA: TRADITION AND TRANSGRESSION IN BRITISH FASHION AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK, AMERICA - 01 MAY 2006 I did NOT remember they dated and also this dress is not Rosario's most shining moment. ## Kate Moss ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_585712bd-1588631646.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock (585712bd) Kate Moss COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA CELEBRATING ANGLOMANIA: TRADITION AND TRANSGRESSION IN BRITISH FASHION AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK, AMERICA - 01 MAY 2006 Sure! Leather pants are very British, right? ## Maggie Q ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_585712ce-1588631716.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock (585712ce) Maggie Q COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA CELEBRATING ANGLOMANIA: TRADITION AND TRANSGRESSION IN BRITISH FASHION AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK, AMERICA - 01 MAY 2006 This feels both stunning AND dated. ## Taye and Idina ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_585712ee-1588631763.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock (585712ee) Taye Diggs and wife Idina Menzel COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA CELEBRATING ANGLOMANIA: TRADITION AND TRANSGRESSION IN BRITISH FASHION AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK, AMERICA - 01 MAY 2006 Yes, yes, you're both VERY good-looking. (That is Alexander McQueen back there in the tartan.) ## Eve ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_585712ef-1588631772.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock (585712ef) Eve COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA CELEBRATING ANGLOMANIA: TRADITION AND TRANSGRESSION IN BRITISH FASHION AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK, AMERICA - 01 MAY 2006 This also would have worked for the year they did Goddesses! ## Bridget Moynahan and Tom Brady ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_585712bi-1588631667.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock (585712bi) Bridget Moynahan and Tom Brady COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA CELEBRATING ANGLOMANIA: TRADITION AND TRANSGRESSION IN BRITISH FASHION AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK, AMERICA - 01 MAY 2006 I DID remember that THEY dated. This relationship is on its very last legs here, and, of course, we've already seen Tom's future bride in this very slideshow. ## Angie Harmon ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_585712ek-1588631792.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock (585712ek) Angie Harmon COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA CELEBRATING ANGLOMANIA: TRADITION AND TRANSGRESSION IN BRITISH FASHION AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK, AMERICA - 01 MAY 2006 This widow doesn't feel too bad about how everything panned out, after all! ## Stella Tennant and Hugh Dancy ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_585712em-1588631802.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock (585712em) Stella Tennant and Hugh Dancy COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA CELEBRATING ANGLOMANIA: TRADITION AND TRANSGRESSION IN BRITISH FASHION AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK, AMERICA - 01 MAY 2006 The internet does not seem to think they were dating at this point. Perhaps they just were standing next to each other! That's a bold tuxedo choice on Hugh's part. ## Mary Kate Olsen ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_608927z-1588632105.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by David Fisher/Shutterstock (608927z) Mary Kate Olsen Costume Institute Gala Celebrating Anglomania: Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, America - 01 May 2007 Am I crazy, or does she look pretty great in this?

(Yes, that's a very tan Georgina Chapman tossing her hair in the background.) ## Ashley Olsen ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_608927c-1588632016.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by David Fisher/Shutterstock (608927c) Ashley Olsen Costume Institute Gala Celebrating Anglomania: Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, America - 01 May 2007 As promised: This is ALSO very good?!???? ## Drew Barrymore ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_608927g-1588632026.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by David Fisher/Shutterstock (608927g) Drew Barrymore Costume Institute Gala Celebrating Anglomania: Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, America - 01 May 2007 Drew looks very charming and her makeup artist is still making her face a little too pale compared to the rest of her. ## Amber Valletta ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_585712j-1588632341.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock (585712j) Amber Valletta COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA CELEBRATING ANGLOMANIA: TRADITION AND TRANSGRESSION IN BRITISH FASHION AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK, AMERICA - 01 MAY 2006 THIS is fantastic. ## Erin O'Connor ![Met Gala 2006 Red Carpet Pics](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_608927j-1588632044.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by David Fisher/Shutterstock (608927j) Erin O'Connor Costume Institute Gala Celebrating Anglomania: Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, America - 01 May 2007 BIG FABULOUS FINISH.
